The Old Testament is also part of the Christian religion, whatever the moderating effect of the New Testament may have been. Ultimately, no code should be needed to determine whether or not 'forgiveness' is on the table for those who commit the worst crimes. A better way to settle that is by balancing the claims of the victims and their families against the claims of the 'We didn't Know Any Better" crowd. If not 'knowing' (i.e. unless you are told by something ubiquitously called 'Science' that seeing that you've injured and destroyed people by performing your 'job' is a matter you should be concerned about) is their sole defense, perhaps they are all morally and intellectually bankrupt?
I agree that a simplistic approach to 'forgiveness' using Christianity as a basis, is turning God into a simpleton. True repentance would see a miracle happen - all the black skullduggery would be replaced with genuine humanistic and creative impulses. We will not live to see that ever happen as long as the Dollar rules the psyche, so the best we can hope for is to see some genuine punishments meted out to the main players - don't hold your breath for that though - Evil has become so profitable the billionaire-money-and-power junkies can't stop shooting up.
I have found this informative video that explains why there will never be 'contrition' - the whole world is wrapped up in this spider-web of greed and vested interests - i.e. Vanguard could not thrive if ordinary people didn't hold shares etc - but everyone is forced into super and the stock market if they don't want to starve in retirement. https://www.bitchute.com/video/qQc2K92poC6w/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
