And when a child asks?

Before I went to bed, my littlest one was asking,

"So if someone kills someone will they go to hell, "

And wanting to understand what it means to received jesus in your heart who takes away sins, as the man incarnate as god.....

He says so do u have to kill to help people like bank robbers and then its ok cause u feel bad anyway ?

Hard to explain to him, started with 10.commandments that goodness starts with and told him usually u are off the path of goodness when u break they shall not kill, and that shall honor their mother and father,

So if ur a killer, u might be someone who needs to be saved to be a better person so u become completely turned around and ask for foregiveness from that place, and isn't god mercy

Than he asked what is mercy ?

I say mercy is unconditional love, like I love u just because you are part of me....and you will always be a part of me, and I a part of you even if I were not here anymore, if I died....I say maybe when we all go to heaven we are all a part of gods mercy and all connected..

That's enough, ready for bed ,
