Just a thought;if Shekau who have been causing havoc just like Saul of Tarsus;turned and become a preacher of the gospel.Will you and the word forgive him like Paul obtained mercy?
Let us hear your view...God is merciful oh......

Very difficult question

Yes. Though his sins are as red as scarlet; God will forgive him.

If GOD forgives him, who am I to hold any grudge. I will readily forgive him and like Barnabas, I will lead him to the church.

I pray everyday and tell God to "...forgive me my sins AS I FORGIVE OTHERS who sin against me..." The measure of forgiveness I grant him is the measure of forgiveness I expect to receive from God. So, Yes I will forgive.

I will forgive him for killing my brother and colleagues ( military officers ) but he has to answer to the laws of the land though.

dunkem21: Yes. Though his sins are as red as scarlet; God will forgive him.

only God can forgive , he has killed many souls and to prevent anarchy , he must be judged according to the rule of the land

I have no power to forgive, forgiveness of the lord. my is just to create the avenue with him and God.

kill his body for give his spirit.... .and dead sure if I see that dude in heaven,am walking out

Only God forgives. The best we can do as humans is to arrange a meeting between him and God in heaven.

i wonder if you will say the same if he kills your father in your presence and rapes your mother while you blow air to cool him down and also bomb the remaining properties and your siblings out of existence.

God will always so mercy;if it is asked for.....

I will still have to forgive him if GOD does. That is what JESUS teaches...love your enemies

See lies..forgive indeed
That's why I love the Bible, very "complete" book. The same god that forgave saul(paul) for persecuting(imprisoning and even killing) his ppl was the same god that punished saul(1st king of isreal) for trying to protect infants and pregnant women..

Shekau sef sabi say na fairytale..im no go try am

if God should forgive him den i have no option than do likewose. besides every sinner is capable of doing worse than him if d devil uses dem. so its just by grace dat we r save from sin
