What if Osama should one day repent...

[Hishandmaiden]

and profess his faith in Christ?

Will he, then be saved?
Will you call him your brother?
Will the Christians in USA welcome his convertion?

Will he, still pay for his crime by execution, for the lives he kill?
Or will you think it will be better to make him an evangelist,
to minister to his past comrades?

Will you forget and forgives what he done, and welcome him?

Wow that's a hard but good question. I can for certain say I dunno???

Will he, then be saved? Yes
Will you call him your brother? Yes
Will the Christians in USA welcome his convertion? Fake Christians, no. Real Christians, there probably would be.
Will he, still pay for his crime by execution, for the lives he kill? Yes.
Or will you think it will be better to make him an evangelist,
to minister to his past comrades? He should do this, while on death row.

Will you forget and forgives what he done, and welcome him? Forgive, yes. Welcome him, yes.

Any christian who does such a crime should be man enough to face the consequences of his action and without a fight. The only fight he should put up is to fight that others he knows comes to christ.

Nothing could possibly make me happier than if Osama bin Laden would repent and come to Christ for forgiveness!

I would rejoice and happily accept him as a Brother-in-Christ.

But remember that he has broken man's laws, not just God's laws, so he would probably face execution for his crimes, since in the US we still have the death penalty. I do not agree with or support the death penalty in anyway, and I'd love to see him be able to evangelize his followers, but governments don't usually have the mechanism to just forgive him for the terrible things he has done. There has to be justice, not only from God, but also for the international laws he broke and for the murders he committed.

The best that could be hoped for would be that the US suddenly understands that even Osama bin Laden's life is human, and humans are not disposable, even if they did something bad. Then OBL could evangelize from his prison cell.

I am glad you will rejoice in his salvation.
So will I.
For me, I will even rejoice if through him,
the Muslim community will be reached.
Yes.... it is my desire that the Muslims will come to know God.

 

[juiblex]

technically, the Muslims already know god, and the same god as you. They just work out of a different text-book.

And reject Christ and thus salvation, so that can be a problem.

and you dont follow Ramadan and pray five times a day facing the Mecca. so that too, could be just as much of a problem.

Not according to Muhammad. That's just the way a devout Muslim should act, not really the road to salvation.

besides, it doesn't matter, he's just one of many false prophets Christ said would come.

Amen to every word of that, brother!
