In the end, Hitler has chosen his reward. Only God knows where his soul is. If we were to wish the death upon someone, even if we were Christian/Catholic don't even bother praying the Our Father. "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." That is what being Christian/Catholic is all about. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Love one another as Jesus loves us. For God loves everyone the same. It is not in His will that we wish the death of someone, but it is His will that we pray for their souls and for God's mercy to shine upon them.[/quote] It would be different if we were not all going to die in the end. I see no problem with some evil person dying sooner and that their death would save many other people. I have no wish for Obama to die however, because then Joe would be in charge.

Wishing for someone's death, in my worldview, is wrong. By the way, comparing Hiter to Obama is a bit much, don't you think?

elizabeth09 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 We need to pray for him, not for his death. Yes, his wife will become a widow and no, his cchildren will not become orphans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHisLove726 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 What a horrible thing to say! I may not like the guy, but I'd never wish death on him. He's got a wife and a family! Why not pray for his conversion? That's certainly an admirable step and much more decent than wishing he were dead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BCatholic139 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Well, I'm not comparing people, but the scandal that is going on. Infantcide and genocide IS NO WAY ACCEPTABLE. That is what is happening in this country and in the world! What I mean by genocide in this country is the slaying of all these babies and targeting certain race groups through planned parenthood because "there are too many of them!" It is disgusting to hear politicians say "There are too many of them!" It is true. It was just said recently. I'm not sure who said it. Sorry. Wake up dead people look around you. You let your soul sell out on God! I'm just saying. Don't be fooled by wolves who are dressed up as sheep. Fight the good fight of faith! Keep praying for the conversion of sinners. Keep praying for our priests, especially our Holy Father! Edited July 17, 2009 by Proud2BCatholic139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selah Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I will pray they turn their life around, but I shall never pray for another's death. No matter how evil they are. It is not our place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertwoman Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 1 Timothy 2: 1 - 4. "I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men: For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Romans 13: 1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. You don't like him, fine. Pray for him and it goes for all leaders in the world. It is easy to curse and condem, but it is hard to love and pray for. Let God do his thing. This man is a false teacher and God will hold him accordingly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His heroic virture and his devotion to the Blessed Virgin. I'd much rather die a martyr for the sake of God's kingdom than wishing to save my life and wishing damnation on another. For I know I am not made for this world, but for Heaven. I'll be forever happy in Heaven than on earth. The day of my death will be the most beautiful day of my life. And if I were to wish and pray for someone's death what would my meeting with Jesus be like. I know He is going to mention this incident. What am I going to tell Him? Remember, we are not for this world but to be with God for all eternity! We will be forever happy in Heaven than on earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
