Mourning the Loss of an Image-Bearer

[Jkdbuck76]

Just reminding everyone that the "vermin" was an image-bearer. He did unspeakable things, that's for sure, but he's no more a vermin than any of us might be.

Be sure you qualify the standard of judgment here.

And I haven't said anywhere that I don't think he needed to be put out of commission.

If I were ever in a position where I had to kill to protect my family, I would do it (I am a gun owner). But it would be the most unfortunate and devastating thing I'd ever done. Even if there is a sense of relief, it's a horrible reality that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Jaigner,
I couldnt say it any better myself

Christ is the standard of judgment here.

Christ is the standard of judgment here.

Yes, it is Rom 3:22-23

I don't think it's God's image that concerns you as much as the fact that an enemy of the U.S. was vanquished.

The Left delights in indicting the U.S., liberty and free enterprise. They wish for its demise, and plot its degeneration into absolute Marxist despotism. They hate her founders and love her enemies.

Your lamentations are just another facet of that mentality. It appears to me that you are simply attempting to build a platform from which to indict the righteous and conservative of this board.

This morning at church, my pastor gave thanks that Osama bin Laden met with human justice and prayed that all terrorists give up their wicked ways and their false religion and turn to Christ. He didn't have a problem with the death of bin Laden.
