I have met Jimmy When we R born again we R new creatures N Christ No longer the person we once were We all have made mistakes Some that R worse than others But Thank God we R not the people we once were Thank God Jimmy is not the person he once was He has done great things 4 the Lord's kingdom God has used him mightily for HIS Glory Look at Paul in the bible he was killing the jews but God changed his heart & used him greatly I am not trying to justify, just making a point

@1Godschoosen Just because someone calls themselves a Christian doesn't mean he doesn't have to pay for the crimes he committed. Let me tell you he told me face to face that he didn't care who died, or who was killed, he threatened me, and has his followers hassling me, the daughter of the man he murdered. He doesn't act like he's repented, at all.

That to me, doesn't sound too Christ-like. A person trying to be Christ-like would hold himself accountable, like Paul did, but Jimmy fails to do so.

my dad knows Jimmy he is all ways nice i know he was a hit man but he made a deal with the goverment i dont know what the deal was. he even had a bounty for his head for not killing some one.

[desertfae]

@2x4noah dude, I hate to tell you this, but Jimmy isn't as 'nice' as you think. Also, the 'deal' he made depended on him telling the truth, which he didn't. Just because one is Christian doesn't mean they don't have to get in trouble for crimes they commited.

Hey, I saw you like Tobymac... what do you think of Michael Tait joining the Newsboys??

God is about forgiveness and 'I think she should learn how to forgive mr. jimmy and be at peace with yourself. You don't gain anything by putting anyone in jail, he has made ammend with God and that is what counts!He is not threat to anyone he has done a lot of good therefore he shouldn't be in jail.

[desertfae]

Being a Christian, if that's truly what Jimmy is, does not mean you get away with crime, especially in America.

Also, if he's not a threat, why did he threaten ME?

As far I go, you probably should judge yourself before you start judging me.

Not all Church-going, God praying people are automatically considered good people.

See: Hitler, Adolf.

Imagine having the gall to tell the daughter of the man you murdered that her father's killing was none of her business. I am completely baffled at those of you who are so willing to believe anything that anyone says as long as they call themselves a Christian. Jimmy Hughes is a scumbag and a murderer. Those of you making excuses because he's now a "Christian" are idiots. You're sheep, and you've been fleeced by a slick, calculating con man.

@1Godschoosen @1Godschoosen R you retarded? R you stupid? Hughes needs to pay 4 his crimes, and he hasn't. I'm sure he wants to forget his past... But until he confesses his sins not just to God, but to those whose lives he ruined, God ain't gonna be too impressed with the creep. And god hates people who try to write about serious topics with words like "R" and "4". Thanks for the upload, tell your worthless friend Jimmy that his ministry is a sham and he will rot forever.

If God has forgiven him, who are to say who or who is not be forgiven. I assume that if you do not forgive, why God should forgive you too?

lol 0:42 ''Bobe Hop'' !!!!

Silly kooky Christians Get what they deserve

Gotta love it; first 32 seconds the TV station mentions itself 4 times.

[Icemario87]

@Icemario87 Instead of focusing on the people who are currently killing people, you want to take out the leader of a disaster relief, food distribution and general poverty relief ministry in an oppressed region who hasn't done so in 28 years? (and did so for the benefit of our leaders)

Makes pragmatic sense to me. Here's a hint: prosecute the leaders, get the CURRENTLY misbehaving people off the streets.

[Icemario87]

I knew Jimmy Hughes once, he preached at my old church on a few occasions. Great guy. I'm an atheist now, but i believe everyone's good inside. When government and money and political interests and guns intersect, good people usually end up being the pawns who kill and die. His ministry now feeds and financially supports large groups of families in the honduras, why put him in jail now? what does it prove?

Besides, U.S. tax dollars will go to feeding and holding him. waste of money.

[1Godschoosen]

@desertfae: yes you are correct We R still held accountable for any decisions or actions we have made & we as christians R not perfect as everyone thinks we should be & have you maybe thought it could B someone else who is acting on their own behalf hassling you? I know I have responded n ways that r not christian like & was sorry but again we R trying to B "Christ-Like"  I hope U will B able allow God heal your heart Bcuz HE will B the only 1 who can
