Will This My Act Of Good Lead Me To Hell? by Zenzu01(m): 10:43am On Apr 10, 2016 |
A man entered my house running and breathing heavily, so I had to ask him what's the matter He said he is being chased by people I asked what did he do He told me everything As he was still explaining, the people approached where we were and at that time I knew I needed to take an action either to save the man or release him to them. So I opted for an option of saving him. When the angry mob that were chasing the man came to me and asked if I saw anybody but I told them that I didn't see anyone. My question is did I sin by lying to them that I didn't see anyone whereas I saw and hid the thief.. Mind you if I release the man to them, they will surely kill him.. And if I die in the process, will I go to hell despite the fact I wanted to save a soul. 7 Likes 1 Share |

There is no greater sin, we get to sin daily either from the thoughts of our hearts, the words of our mouth or our actions. Sin is Sin. If only you used the opportunity to preach the Good news to him.... However, His Mercies never come to an end. King David did worse but one of the things that made him a man after God's heart was his remorseful nature. Great is His Mercy! 33 Likes 1 Share |

U did the right thing. Jungle justice is wrong and should not be encouraged or condoned. You saved a man's life and in so doing did not aid murder. No matter what he did, those people have no right to kill him. You are now wondering if you should have aided murder instead of lying OP, u did the right thing 52 Likes 3 Shares |

You sure sey nor be your partner? But on a more serious note if what you typed really happened, you did the right thing but what i seriously doubt is the fact that you probably didn't hand him over to the police. That would make you an accomplice and worse still your furnace in hell would be made double hot Nebuchadnezzar style. 2 Likes |

An act of "Good" you call it? Being nice to a thief to the detriment of those he has deprived of some valuables? You call that an "act of good"? As far as I am concerned you are an accomplice..And In the court of law, you know what this means. lucky you were not caught hiding the thief. If you were, same jungle justice wld have applied to you. Just pray for forgiveness cos the thief might be worse than shekau but thought it wise to tell you a story to save his life @ that moment. 5 Likes |

My friend, I hope you handed the thief over to the appropriate authority? Cos that's the most important thing here. As for going to heaven or hell, stop deceiving yourself cos if there's really a hell according to biblical standards, we are all going there so don't worry, you won't be alone and it will be a very fun place, I bet people in heaven will plead to be sent to hell, when they see how much fun we will be having there. Btw OP, this your story sounds made up. 2 Likes |

Zenzu01:The problem with this question is the lack of understanding of who God is, at least in the Christian sense. GOD isnt a tyrant who seats on an heavenly throne looking for excuses to throw people into hell, far from it. Matthew 7:11 Isaiah 49:15 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! Those two verses will show you a little of who God is, if your sinful earthly Dad wont purnish you over such, how much more a loving God?? 2 Likes |
