In the Name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit - One God now & forever. Amen.
May the peace of Christ be with you!
Quote:You would rather they die while they are committing crimes or oppressing others? I have also be perplexed by how many (not all) christians think that anyone dying is a tradgedy. Everyone will die. I would much rather die innocent in an explosion than an evil sinner in my nursing home.
Generally, I don't have issues with death... especially considering Jesus Christ fully conquered it. The Crucifixion is a symbol of victory not humiliation.
I do have issues with people (regardless of creed) who don't value life as a gift from God & take it upon themselves to end their life as well as the lives of innocent human beings without consent.
I pray that nobody dies in a state of mortal sin, Dan - whether it be in a nursing home or in an explosion.
Lord have mercy.
