"As we forgive those who trespass against us,"

Can we forgive them, but STILL shoot them? Hope so. The terrorists need to be cleansed from the earth, and God helps them that help themselves.

I have a great deal of trouble with the forgiveness thing. Ironically, the Sunday before 9/11, the local pastor gave a message about forgiveness. He said that Christians get really messed up about the forgiveness thing. Forgiveness is not saying, "That's OK. No problem. I don't mind that you just murdered my wife." Forgiveness is Christian responsibility. We are responsible for each other. We must hold each other responsible. Our responsibility is to pray for others. We hold each other accountable for actions in this life. If you commit a crime, you must pay the consequences. No free tickets. We have the right to hold criminals liable for Earthly crimes. We have no right to judge their souls. As someone said, that's above our paygrade. so the short answer at my church is "Yes." We can blow them to Hell. God will decide residency.
