[WayneS]

Yes. Yes we should.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Those Muzzies really want to meet Allah and receive their 72 virgins. It’s up to us to arrange the meeting for them!

[SeekAndFind]

[cripplecreek]

Yes

[tet68]

Exterminate first, pray for them later.

[arthurus]

Both are prayers for the end of ISIS and prayers for Conversion are more appropriate.

[dalereed]

the only good muslim is a ded one, kill them all, 100%!!!!

[arthurus]

Imagine the disappointment when the martyred jihadis find raisins where their virgins were expected to be.

[vladimir998]

Yeah, but white raisins are rally, really tasty.

God’s Grace and God’s Government.

God’s Grace allows a repentant murderer, salvation.

God’s Government allows the execution of said murderer.

I'm sure if I was faced with a life or death situation that required immediate action, and I was armed, God would not have to forgive me for protecting myself ... in spite of what some may use to chastise that decision ... (pray for those that persecute you ... turn the other cheek .. etc.)

God has given us plenty of direction for our thought processes (come, let us reason together) and has blessed us with free will ... and I refuse to accept that God would want me to acquiesce to a murderer, thereby eliminating any effectiveness I may have for HIM.

As a born again Christian ... I go through this mental gymnastic three or four times a year in my (I try to) daily reading and prayer with Him.

I'm comfortable with killing an enemy that refuses to hear truth

[Vendome]

I would pray for their death.

It’s more humane and quicker...

[arthurus]

I didn’t say you don’t shoot your enemy who is attacking. The question was how should we pray.

[BigCinBigD]

“Pray” for their conversion to blood splatter. Kill every last one.

[Arthur McGowan]

We should be exterminating them with napalm, millions of rounds of ammunition, and perhaps tactical nukes, praying for their conversion during quiet moments.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

How about sinners?

[Secret Agent Man]

Both.

Yes!

Another way to put it is that Christians have the choice to turn their own cheeks if they are convinced it is a gospel witness; but they have no call or right to make anyone else turn theirs. They can perfectly well defend their neighbors (whether or not believing) against marauders.
