Boudi can you provide me with a verse where Christ tells us to lock a person up in a cage until they die? Silly really. I don't believe Christ's message of love is the love you preach. Were God's chosen people violating love when they followed God's instructions and went to war? Were they in violation when they followed God demand to kill all the inhabitants? No of course not. God's love is not the hippie love of the 1960's. Osama was a killer. He was infact planning more attacks. He was killed. He died in terror hiding behing his wife. He died the way he dcided to make others die. God will not be hanging blame on those Navy Seals, Jimmy Carter, America, Obama nor Osama's daddy, for the manner he was taken out nor for the evil Osama did. God will judge Osama and Osama will answer. Christ did not confront the money changers with hippie love. He confronted them in a violent manner all the while being true to the message of love. Christ's behavior so scared them they fled the temple. Point is, your notion of Christ's love is not what He showed us. You have a different love an unrealistic one. Christ was being real, he was true to His message of love when he sent the tables flying and the merchants fleeing.
mclarkie, if America is totally to blame like you insist it is, then what on earth would give you or me or anybody the right to stop further attacks planned by Osama? After all America is TOTALLY to blame. What would give us the right to catch him and send him to a celll for the rest of his life if America is totally to blame as you insist?
You haven't provided me with any evidence from scripture that Christ approves of violence....and your case pretty much falls down. The sense of elation you feel at the death of a man is contrary to the letter and spirit of Christ's message, something you are not willing to face, but try to evade. Your whole case seems to depend upon Jesus losing it with some tables. You may as well say Christ approves of
****, wife beating and pub brawls! ( I don't think he did btw)
