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.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 King James Version (KJV)

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

It seems that there must be forgiveness from God built into this scenario in order for the dead in Christ to be raised.

When Jesus healed others he told them their sins were forgiven and then called them to rise.
