RE: [TruthTalk] Arafat is gone

I do not have deaf ears. I understand every one of your concern plus many others. It all goes back to the original source of the disagreement that causes Judy to be temporarily speechless... How are we to react to those who have an obvious humanity problem? Do we become like them and hate or do we take the higher road? Do we continue to hope that the Spirit of Redemption can push away the dark clouds of hate and the chains of blindness, or are we fall to the base elements of humanity and hope and pray for their destruction, both in this life and the life to come? The obvious truth is that we should hope all come to embrace the God of Israel. (Slade) Slade, of course we all hope that all will embrace God.  And we know that isn’t going to happen—especially with the wickedest of the wicked.  My point is that we should not get weird and act like it’s so sad that the scum of the earth died.  It is ridiculous pretense. Surely you aren’t taking Piousity 101 at seminary. Even the Bible says that when the wicked dies there is glad shouting. Give us a break. Izzy
