Ok I am going to say it: How can you rejoice in the DEATH of anyone? I don't care if it is Hitler or Osama or the murderer of your loved one. It is EVIL that controlled the man which led to disaster, every person who has lived on this planet is the son or daughter of God. Evil will not rest because another has passed in its control.
Yes, I am happy for a second that somehow people will be blessed by his death...or will they? This frightens me even more then. What will be of our people and the people we try to protect over there when we killed a "famous" evil leader? Surely his followers will not be thankful that we killed him.
Is it justice we love so much? "Yay, we killed him! He got what was coming to him!" Or is that just spewing back to the enemy what they said about their targeted people. "Yay! We killed those Americans! Allah will be so proud!" I mean, do you get this?
The Lord God has told us through Paul in Romans 2: "You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?"
Ok, I know that because a lot of you have different opinions about all these things I am saying, there might be a lot of frustration at me. Please hold on a minute before you lash out at me..open your Bible. Seek what God thinks.
In the Old Testament, He encourages the death of the wicked, YES. This is true. Yet after Jesus died for ALL of us, He says let Me be the Judge. Let me do with the evil men and women what I decide. But until then, pray. Love. Forgive. Live your lives as lovers and leave the fighting to Me and Evil. Praise God He takes the duty off our backs! Everything we do is in relationship to what God has us do. Ask Him. Don't just do what you want, you are human. We are human. Evil is in our blood but we are saved by the grace of Christ our Lord who reigns forever and ever! Our slate is wiped clean by the Blood, when we say with our mouths and believe with our hearts that Jesus is Lord. So I understand in loving criticizm if I have said something in the wrong wording...it happens. Tell me. But please, please take the time and ask God how you should feel right now. Ask God. He knows the best for you. Amen
