There has been alot of talk about the U.S. killing Osama bin Laden and how Americans are celebrating in our country. We have been in a war on terror for many years now, and yet I find people disgusted at the fact that the U.S. seals killed a man who killed thousands of people. How is it wrong to celebrate the justice that your fathers, mothers, friends, children, or boyfriend or girlfriend have deserved for years?
Alot of people try to say that taking away human life is wrong, and that God is against it. Yes, God clearly states in the Ten Commandments that "Thou shall not murder," but there are plenty of times when He found death the acceptable answer to a problem.
Hebrews 10:29- 31 states:
"29How much worse punishment do you suppose he will be judged to deserve who has spurned and trampled underfoot the Son of God, and who has considered the covenant blood by which he was consecrated common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)?(A)
30For we know Him Who said, Vengeance is Mine I will repay says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge and determine and solve and settle the cause and the cases of His people.(B)
31It is a fearful thing to incur the divine penalties and be cast into the hands of the living God!"
The fact that people are saying a human is a human and killing them is morally wrong, is out of their jurisdiction. When something is evil and unrighteous, GOD will handle it. He isn't and has NEVER solely been a peaceful God who solved all of the problems in the world through peace. For example, Judges 4: 23 says "On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites. And the hand of the Israelites pressed harder against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him."
Jabin was a king who God had given the Israelites to because they had sinned against him. I'm not saying that this is the reason why Osama bin Laden was oppressing people, but hear me out. After a while the Israelites called out to God and He helped them to destroy Jabin. If it is the Lord's bidding to rid people of an evil man, how is it wrong? You cannot truly love God and say He was wrong about anything that has happened in this world. No matter how bad it seems, God will NEVER stop being perfect.
I won't make this blog post super long, but to make myself more clear, God rid the earth years and years ago of every single human being except Noah, his family, and animals through a flood. Those people who drowned worldwide were humans. God struck plagues on the people of Egypt when they would not let the Hebrews go, and he left the Israelites in the desert for many of them to die for 40 years. All of them were humans, not one superior to the other. Don't try to tell me that since we shot a terrorist, we don't have morals. God has morals. He invented the good ones.
I would say sorry if this blog offends anyone, but in all honesty, I don't care. Everything I said comes from His word and I wouldn't have it any other way. bin Laden was a terrorist who hurt many people and would have hurt many more. As it says in the Galatians, "You reap what you sow." We could never begin to comprehend the mind of God, His logic and the decisions he makes in our everyday lives, but we can begin to thank Him for the protection He gives us daily. Even King David celebrated after defeating his enemies.
Eph 2:8: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God"
To all of you guys who got something from this post tonight , I love you, and to all of you who didn't, I still love you all the same.
