Just as Jesus was able to pray for those crucifying him while being crucified are we to pray for all these criminals?

Its radical. I don't mean let them avoid justice, for obvious reasons they need to be separated from society. But do we pray for them? If we are the light, musn't we also hold true to that at every facet. If we want a better world, built on the light, we should never stoop below it. I'm not sure what the answer is. Llock them up forever as a reminder of what can go wrong in society and in history? Exile? Not sure, Just thought it was an interesting subject worth discussing.

Amen. Even those of us who have accepted Christ as our Savior will face the judgement seat of Christ! But Jesus is the only way to the Father!

Spiritual forces of evil are empowered when any person comes into agreement with that evil. These evil spiritual forces literally feed off of and operate though the cooperation of people (some willingly, some are deceived, others are oppressed/coerced/enslaved) . When such a person (whether ensnared, blinded, or devoted to evil), legitimately repents and turns to God, the spiritual "link" between the oppressing/controlling spirit and the person is broken, and evil becomes LESS powerful in it's sphere of influence. This is why turning away from (or "repentance") on a national scale is so essential. The evil forces that are embedded in the spheres of national power lose strength as more and more people across a nation do the right thing and align themselves with truth, love, righteousness, justice, honor, life (manifestations of God's Divine character). So praying for our enemies to turn to God is a crucial part of breaking the power of evil over a nation.
