I have never understood the attitude that wants people dead. Ok I
know you can get deeply fed and sickened by others but bottom line is
God loved the world so much he gave his only-begotten son, in order that
everyone excercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have
everlasting life." (John 3:16)
And Jesus taught that God wants MERCY not sacrifice. He came to call sinners not righteous people. (Matthew 9:13)
I
remember sitting with another publisher and looking out on a lot of
people. The publisher told me they looked forward to seeing all these
people die at Armageddon. I was horrified to hear someone express such a
callous view and I said so. I wondered what motivated them to go out on
the ministry.
After all if you were the parent of a wreckless
son or daughter and that one die because of their own folly, even
though you never apporved their lifestyle, you, as the parent would
never want them dead. But you would yearn for them to stop behaving in a
way that was putting them in danger.
Oh well, I got disfellowshipped in the end.
