Those who seek to terrorize others by killing innocent people will not reach Heaven. Among those in the Sacred Scriptures who committed suicide is Judas. And through the Word of God we know he lost his soul: “And Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve” (Luke 22:3). And we also know that for all eternity he will suffer the pains of Hell, for the death of a good person is not described like the death of Judas: “Men, brethren, the scripture must be fulfilled....concerning Judas....Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged (Judas hung himself), burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out....So that the same field was called....’The field of blood‘” (Acts 1:16-19).
When God revealed: “Thou shalt not kill” He did not simply request us not to kill, but He Commanded us not to kill - not only ourselves, but also our brothers and sisters. Suicide bombers are cowards who lack a true faith in God. They place their faith in their interpretations of the opinions of men rather than the Word of God, and are therefore disobedient, selfish, and misguided fanatics who use religion to justify their goal of destroying human life. They do not earn the respect of truly religious people, and unlike a true soldier, they will never be remembered as heroic. Their life is wasted, and they are placed among the criminals of society, rather than among those who have benefited society. A truly religious person loves God, and loves his neighbor, no matter who that “neighbor” may be. A religious fanatic only loves himself, and will even kill innocent children to further his “cause.” But Almighty God will severely judge him, and that coward will pay for the harm he has done to society, and the corruption he has done to his soul.
In the end, good always triumphs over evil, and the day will come when Iraq will be truly free. Free from the madness of evil men & women who, like fools, believe destruction will help accomplish their goals. The long-suffering people of Iraq will finally be free to openly practice their Faith without threats from spiritually immature, religious fanatics. And the result will be the building of a society that will enrich all of mankind.

Since these people are not Christian, isn't this a no-brainer????
"SUICIDE BOMBERS WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN"
'Course they won't. The Marines will keep
'em out. Third verse of the Marine hymn:
Here's health to you and to our Corps, which we are proud to serve.
In many a strife we've fought for life and never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes,
they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.
(I have not served. My tagline honors my son and
my cousin.)
Duh!
I like your tagline. I am the proud mother-in-law of a Marine.

Thank you for your comment. I'll pass it on to my son and my cousin.
The topic is entering Heaven and at the risk of offending some people, there is only One way and that is through Jesus Christ; the Way the Truth and the Life.
If you are tempted to get into that argument, save your breath. I'm not in the mood.
You are but one small step away from the very evil you claim to resist.
I have no doubts about the nature of God, and what is good and what is evil.
I have serious doubts about your being on the same side of the good vs evil battle with me, and God.
So save your own breath.
But do carry on. You seem to be very caught up in your "good, evil and the nature of God" speech.
I stand by what I said and it DOES relate to the thread topic. Jesus is the only way, no matter how much you want to claim about your doubts or absence thereof. If you don't know this truth, you have much to learn.
Muslim countries deny the people that could help them best cure terrorism, they are the Missionaries!
The people bound up in Islam need to be set free!
Jesus can help them. Jesus can give them a new life.
I don't believe Catholics are the problem.
