I found this response by Ken Cook online and decided to share which correlates my opinion regarding the death of Osama Bin Laden.I have given my conclusion at the end.
“Most if not all of us have heard about the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden. The question is how should the Christian respond to this event?At some level I think that all of us who are Americans feel some sort of relief, some sort of satisfaction that, as President Obama said, ” Justice has been done.”
Here’s the problem I have, by all of the knowledge we have, Osama Bin Laden will be headed for the Lake of Fire. How can I rejoice about that? How can any person who considers themselves a Justified and Washed in the Blood of the Lamb, think in their heart that this is a good thing? Ezekiel tells us in chapters 18 and 33 that God doesn’t get any pleasure from the death of the wicked. If God doesn’t delight in the death of evil men, how can I? How can I rejoice that a rebel sinner has died in his sin, given that he will now never see the mercy of our great God and Savior.
At the same time, we see a consistent testimony throughout Scripture that God is Just, and commands his people to love justice. I don’t think it is any stretch of the text, to say that we are to love justice as God does. I believe that if a man has ordered the death of 1000′s it is proper to say that he no longer deserves to live; in other words, he has earned death. Taking his life was just.
In Conclusion, I think that the Christian perspective is one of mourning a sinner who failed to repent, but a satisfaction that justice has been served.
“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles.” (Proverbs 24:17)
Conclusion :
Osama Bin Laden is the Antisemite and incurred the curse by having hatred towards Israel and also towards God's children according to
Genesis 12:3“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me," declares the LORD.
Eventhough God is not happy over the death of Binladden as per the standards of His eternal love eventhough Jesus died for the Osama Bin laden but Bin Laden's misdeeds and terrorist activities has to be stopped as per the standards of God’s Righteousness and Justice other wise many innocent lives will be at stake on the name of terrorism.
The death of Osama is a warning to the raising Antisemitism and also to the Iranian President Mohammed Ahmadinejad who gave a call to wipe out Israel from the Globe.
Pakistan should take heed of this incident and should take serious steps to destroy all the terrorism sponsored activities and terrorist camps which indeed resulting in the killings of innocent Indian civilians.Though majority view is that one of the mastermind have been killed, but there are many others around both inside and outside the country. The need is to bring back all these religious based fundamentalists people using terrorism and attacking innocent civilians through violence into main stream of society and stop these radical thinking. Our society in each country should avoid any development of rising of these small group which later become bigger threat to country/world. These group are becoming tech savvy and using different ways to attack, one such is fake currency, attacking on the religious minorities. I believe it should be each country priority to stop such development from their land. Other wise country like pakistan would surface as most notorious with people living in too much of stress.
All these countries, primarily pakistan should understand that by only achieving a smaller goal of destructing neighbor country would bigger clash within nation where every citizen have a gun and swords.Bin Landen gone or not one thing is clear now that Pakistan was hosting him at a safe place.
The Place ABOTTABAD is only 30 km from their capital ISLAMABAD, and a mere 800 meters from a Military Camp where many senior military people reside. Now it is time world recognise this and ISOLATE the HUB OF TERRORISM - PAKISTAN from all activities. Obviously the Pakistan Govt was fully knowing the whereabouts of Laden and was fooling the world and USA all the time.Other wise another or more 9-11 will come on the world if PAKISTAN is not punished by the UNO.
Yesterday I had the privilege of sharing on the God’s protection to His Children from psalms 121 of the Bible
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
