WOW! As I open up facebook and see all of the posts about how everyone is rejoicing in the death of this man, I am overwhelmed with sickness. Was this country not founded on God? Since when are we as CHRISTians not saddened by the loss of a man into eternal damnation of hell?
We are rejoicing in the same way that those who crucified Jesus on the cross did. You see the difference is that Jesus conquered death and beat hell. He is perfect and sinless and suffered unjustly. Osama was a horrible person and stood for evil. He deserves hell and has no way out...how is this a good thing again?
Ezekiel 18:23 "Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?"
Proverbs 24:17 "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles"
Am I happy that Osama is not longer a threat to America, Yes! I am happy that God is just and righteous and takes care of business, yes! I am not saddened that his followers have lost their evil leader. I am saddened that we as Christians are rejoicing that he is burning in hell.
Why would that make anyone happy????
Have we forgotten about the story or Saul/Paul? He killed people simply for believing in Jesus, yet when He came to know Jesus himself was one of the most successful and devoted followers of Jesus leading countless numbers of souls to Christ?
Have we not wronged others and desired forgiveness and reconciliation with Christ and others?
Osama was an evil man and stood for evil and did horrible things, but did Christ not take care of that sin on the cross as well? Why should we want for anyone to suffer the punishment of hell when Christ himself is not rejoicing?
Yes it was Osama's choice to live a life full of such destruction and terrorism. Yes he is the one who chose to be a martyr for his beliefs. Does that make it right for us to be happy? He chose this for himself, but we should not rejoice when people cause themself suffering. Where is the love of Christ in that?
