General Discussion / Re: Many blacks support murderer of white woman on Charlotte train (JTF video)
« Last post by Chaim Ben Pesach on September 11, 2025, 11:40:34 PM »In the Torah law for Gentiles, there are four levels of intention for causing a person's death. There is a fundamental difference between a person's liability to punishment in a court of law, and his power to cleanse his soul from liability in the eyes of God. God certainly accepts sincere repentance regardless of the murderer's intention.

There is a difference between repentance (tshuva in Hebrew) and atonement (kipur). An intentional murderer cannot escape his punishment by saying he's sorry. There are many examples of this in both the Torah and the Tanach. For example, after the sin of the spies who did not want to enter the land of Israel, the Jews repented but G-d refused to cancel their punishment - they were forced to die in the desert and could not enter the land. Even Moses and Aaron were not allowed to enter the land when their punishment was not forgiven despite sincere repentance. In the Bible, in the book of Kings, the Jews of Judah repented after the sins of King Menasheh, but G-d refused to cancel their punishment of exile and destruction of the First Temple because Menasheh spilled a lot of innocent blood. There are numerous other examples. Repentance is not atonement.
