They chose evil. And that in itself is sad. I just simply can't judge the souls of these men and say that they should rot in hell. I don't wish hell on anyone and I don't believe that anyone understanding the eternalness of it should either.
To tell the truth, I prayed for Hussein and his sons. I prayed that somewhere in the darkness that they were living in that they may see the Light and receive Him, Jesus. I pray that the Palestinians will do the same. I pray for the man who murdered my dearest cousin and who is on death row. I pray for his salvation. Yes, that there is a need for justice to be served; I agree. The justice given here is temporal and never TRULY satisfies nor does it undo the pain and hurt caused by the person who inflicted misery, but the Justice given after we leave is final and eternal.
Yes, while Free Will was given by our Creator.
