But GOD gave us free will. Only if the sinner repents will they get redemption. I think if they go to hell and do not repent they are in for eternal suffering. That's my interpretation. If you are talking about capital punishment, then yes, I think they should be kept alive in prison for their natural lives. But remember, these traitors are to be made examples to prevent this happening in the near future.  Can you give me sauce on the sermon in hell. I am not familiar with that and would be interested in reading it.
