Mahatma Gandhi led a revolutionary non violent protest against the British Occupation to liberate India. His legacy is remembered throughout history.
His death was revered nationwide. Being a good man that he is, his death like so many other famous good people of this world could do nothing to pay off the judgement against the sins of other. His death is unto his own and He'll definitely need to answer for his own life's action.
Every part of the world, whether it's tribal law or state law, justice demands that all crimes are vindicated through some form of punishment or sentences. On the extreme end, heavy crime required death sentences as punishment.
Criminals caught are trialled in judicial court of law and sentences are carried out by the judge in authority. These are but man created human laws which are imperfect and really depends on situations and changes as time goes.
God's justice is not of this world and the perfect requirement for punishment for sin is death. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned; we have all committed evil acts
QUOTE
(Romans 3:10-18).
There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good, not even one.” “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.” “The poison of vipers is on their lips.”“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
“Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

As a result of our sin, we deserve God's anger and judgement. The only just punishment for sins is an infinite punishment.

(Revelation 20:11-15).
The Dead Are Judged
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

We were given enough time to try for ourselves to atone our own sin through our own effort for salvation since Genesis. That's why the 10 commandments were given.
Thou Shall Not...
Thou Shall Not...
The best of Old testament had Moses, Elijah, Solomon, etc even David, a Man after God's own heart failed to adhere God's commandment perfectly.
Why then did God hand out the 10 commandments if He already knew? In his grace and patience, it's not for Him to know but so that we would know after so many generations, ages and time, we cannot.
God moves in the rhythm of time and in progression to reveal step by step a way out.
Understand that God is a God of Justice, whatever He says, he does not go back on his words to reverse out. When he decree the punishment for Sin is death, there must be punishment. no exception.
We all know about Jesus on the cross.
All of God's indignation, His Wrath fell upon Jesus, stroke after stroke of punishment were lashed out on his body. It was a ghastly sight, after watching The Passion of Christ, one can only imagine how is it like on that day, the torture tool used by the soldiers.
After reading the passage, Romans 5:6-8 below, now I truly understand and appreciate the undeserving act of His divine death.
QUOTE
Romans 5:6-8
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

I pray to the Father that so should all of you. Remember his death which He died out of love for you during Good Friday and this coming Sunday Easter. And remember to rejoice in victory in His resurrection.
God Bless.

enlighten me..
. Nobody was saying that we don't talk to that person. Only by the principle of Matthew, we just have to treat him as if he is an unbeliever, that's all, from the fellowship of the church. As much, that brother, in eternity, is already saved and is our brother in God's life and nature. And yes, we are all saved sinners. But it is more for the testimony of the golden lampstand.
He is making me lose money to help ppl.
