My answer by Billy Graham question do you think god can forgive a person who killed another person in an automobile Accident l. Answer while the Bible says plainly in exodus thou shall not murder using the hebrew word mistakenly translated the Bible also acknowledges that human life is sometimes taken accidentally. In fact in ancient Israel there were sly cities called cities of Refuge to which a person who had accidentally killed another person could flee Joshua i know that in the Case of something like an automobile Accident there May be no Way the Accident could have been prevented. On the other hand there Are Many cases when a Driver is responsible for what happened for example if he had too much to drink. Whatever the circumstance the important thing is that god does forgive every sin that is brought to him in confession and repentance. Jesus Christ came to forgive us and by his death on the Cross he took away our sins. As far As the East is from the West so far hath he removed our transgressions from us psalm when we put our Faith and Trust in him he brings us Pardon and cleansing.
