A splendid response to the question of how Christians should react to the death of Osama bin Laden
As usual, Rev. William Cwirla hits the nail right on the head.
We all need to repent of any tendency to rejoice at what we assume to be bin Laden's damnation. On the other hand, we have no business whatsoever doing anything but rejoice that justice has been done.
Pr. Cwirla magnificently refutes both the un-Christian tendency on the Right to give in to our fallen desire for vengence on one hand, and the sappy and equally un-Christian tendency among those on the Left to confuse the Two Kingdoms by suggesting that there is anything less merciful and proper than for those whom God has given the office of the sword to refrain from wielding it out of a desure to be "nice."
One of the differences between Christianity and Islam on one hand, and Christianity and brain death on the other.
