I was recently contacted by THIS Army Reserve Chaplain and asked whether Landover Baptist church might want to join in the effort to Pray for Islamofascists. I'd like to see what some of the other Pastors and the True Christian™ Brothers think about his Godly proposal. Here's the story:
I'll be interested in hearing what others think about this. I personally have mixed feelings. His point about converting mudslime scum over to our side is a valid one, but there are also many scriptures to consider.
Proverbs 6
[16] These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
[17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
[18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
[19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Mudslimes clearly fall into every category listed above among things that God hates. God doesn't say to pray for them.
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.--Luke 19:27
And as Revelation 19:2 makes clear, those who rejoice at the demise of God's enemies are impelled by a desire to uphold the righteous judgment of God. That is, they're more concerned with God's justice and righteousness than they are with the welfare of wicked individuals. They are careful not to reverse the order of the first and the second great commandments: loving God with all of one's heart and then loving one's neighbor as oneself.
It seems to me at first blush that praying for sand nigras could get Him pretty angry at us....What do you think?
Ministry Launches 'Adopt a Terrorist' Prayer Campaign
(RNS) An Army Reserve chaplain has decided to do his individual part in the war on terror: He's co-founded an Internet ministry to pray for terrorists.
"Adopt a Terrorist for Prayer" was launched in March and features a catalog of photos of people designated by the FBI or the State Department as participants in or sponsors of terrorism.
"In a sense, it's a spiritual conflict and we're not using spiritual resources," said Thomas Bruce, a co-founder and spokesman for the ministry at www.myatfp.com. "I felt that the church of Jesus Christ was not engaged."
Bruce, whose ministry is based in Colorado Springs, Colo., said he was inspired to start the effort after attending a conference of Christian military ministries last year. Soon, he will have to leave the work to other co-founders -- who include a retired school administrator and a retired Coast Guard officer -- when he is deployed to Iraq.
Bruce's voice is on the two-minute YouTube video that promotes the idea of praying for terrorists:
"If they start converting, as did the Apostle Paul, then terrorism as a strategy for advancing militant Islam will fail and the whole world will know something spectacular about the one true God," he says in the video.
The Web site encourages readers to choose from a catalog of dozens of photos of people labeled as "at-large" or "captured" terrorists or terrorism sponsors. Each photo includes a link to more information, such as an FBI poster.
"Select and pray daily for a change in the heart of your chosen terrorist!" the site recommends. "Enlist others to join this initiative!"
Bruce said he has received mostly positive reactions to the project.
"Some people are very enthusiastic and can't wait to participate," he said. "No one has told me that it's stupid or wrong, but some have told me it won't be for them."
