Thanks for reading my musings
.
It was actually me who was leading the bible study. My answer, for what it's worth, was that God would have forgiven him, and in looking at the rest of the old testament would have relented.
The reason we discussed Grace was that it is down right scandalous. The very worst sinner in the world can be forgiven and made right with God.
What's more scandalous is that we cannot do anything that is good enough, I would far prefer to measure myself against a murderer and say I am better than they are but if I measure myself against Jesus, I realise that I am the worst hypocrite and in need of His grace and mercy.
