Cheering the Death of Osama Bin Laden?

Yea you must be right. Everything is fake except for what you say. :laugh:

It must be tough always being right and dealing with everyone else always being wrong.

 

I think it is biblical to be happy with the death of this monster!

Just read the Imprecatory Psalms! For instance Ps. 69 or Ps. 109!

 

Well there are pros and cons to this.

Pros is that justice has been served. As it has been told, when you take out the leader, it makes a group weaker. And hopefully that it will bring back some comfort and justice with those that lost lives and their families.

We need to applaud our troops for doing their jobs. And that they sacrifice so much. So that we can live and breathe. How their own families are sacrificing and so giving as well. To let them do this.

Cons is that sadly, his death won't bring back over 3K people who died in a tragic, and heinous way nearly ten years ago. And also the war on terror is far from finished. We have a long way to go. But hopefully this will send a message to those that want to try to hurt any innocent civilian wherever they may be whether it be USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, South America, etc!

But hopefully real healing will take place. And that we can lean on the Lord for guidance and strength.

 

Here's an interesting take on celebrating Bin Laden's death. It's from a man who lost his son in the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

1st, if you are a christian than "that guy" is your brother.

2ndly....He made some very excellant points in his blog post.

PARTICULARLY the scriptures he posted.

Did you read that far?...

God clearly does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked.

That clearly means that cheering happily, and basically having a party in the streets because of the death of Osama is inappropiate.

 

Yes, first, he is my brother. Second, you are stating your opinion as to his apporiate use of scripture. I disagree with your opinion. And, thank you for trying to serve as my conscious but I already have one and it works pretty good without your help.

 

Proverbs 24, 17-18...

 

See THIS Robert.

Nuff said! :smilewinkgrin:

That's funny and I actually laughed out loud when I read it. ... The first thing this Pastor thought when I read your post is that some Christians evidently don't have enough time on their hands to think through important things like what we look like to the world and if our actions reflect Christ to the world.

Wow, another insult. I must be doing pretty good. Fact is, I don't think many Christians take joy in the death of anyone. Celebrating a military victory is not wrong but taking scripture out of context is.

 

What Alive in Christ said.

 

Compared to the total number of Christians in the US the number of wackos cheering outside the prison walls at an execution is minimal. And, those who took a morbid joy at Osama's death are also minimal.
