She did not only lose her son, she lost her husband of over 20 years, friends, family, and a myriad of other possessions. She pretty much did lose everything. A lot more than many other people. Things she will never be able to get back, not just her son.
If she lost those things due to this, it was due to choices she made. You can't complain when you have to lie in the bed you made. But the bottom line is that only in a very materialistic, self-centered culture, is that "losing everything." I don't want to be to blunt about it, but let's face it: Christianity is a lifestyle of losing everything. So I am not greatly concerned when people lose everything.
Who are you or anyone else to judge her salvation? That is between her and God.
Actually I haven't judged her. But we are commanded to judge people's salvation for different purposes like church membership etc. All I pointed out was that I have seen no evidence of salvation, and the biblical presumption is that people are not saved since that is how they are born.
We have no right to belittle her for her pain and grief and question her salvation.
I haven't done that and don't recommend it.
Sadam was not the only tyrannical murderous dictator at the time, nor was he the worse by far.
But he was one, and life is precious. So I don't think lives lost in pursuit of freedom and life are wasted. Perhaps we disagree on that. I think God doesn't value life based on the country in which someone lives. Therefore, live in Iraq is just as important as life in America. And I am not even saying we should have to war. I am simply saying that their lives weren't wasted.
I could list others we should have something about first, not to mention the fact that our main objective should have been OBL given he actually attacked our country and caused great devastation and loss of lives.
We didn't quit chasing OBL and the fact that "other people are mean too" is hardly a justification. Again, I am not saying we should or shouldn't have gone to war. I am addressing only the fact that the lives weren't wasted. To say that they were is to spit on the graves.
So don't give me that baloney about my christian values and viewpoints, of which you really have no clue.
I commentd only on what you said. I would think that your words here would give us a clue about your Christian values and viewpoints. Surely you are not speaking for someone else are you? I may not have much of a clue, but I do have your words that you have spoken. Assuming that they are your words, they give us insight into your Christian values and viewpoints.
