Can a Terrorist Go to Heaven?


Can a Terrorist go to Heaven? Imagine a man that hunts down and attacts the innocent. A man that Kills because of a Religious Law. A Man that thinks Christians should have their heads cut off just because they are Christians. This man is a wealthy, educated man. Does this sound a little like radical Islam? Maybe even Osama Bin Ladin? Well actually I was thinking of Saul of Tarsus, or the Apostle known as Paul......yeah the one that wrote the majority of the New Testament.
I heard an evangelist speak about this on a podcast, and he asked if we were praying for Osama?! He said imagine the reaction of the Disciple that got the call to approach Saul.
I believe the disciple was named as Aninias.... look that up.... I'll just call him the disciple. He got the call from God.... He's pumped up ready to serve. God tells the disciple where to meet someone, and the disciple is absolutely Stoked about it.... Then God tells him the name of the one He wants the disciple to meet...... I can just imagine the reaction. It would probably have been like Moses' "take my brother" statement when God called him to service, just more intense! I could hear the disciple say "Whoa..... that's the guy that has been killing Christians!!! and you want me to do what??? But ultimately he proved his faith in the Lord and did as he was told. Pauls heart was then changed forever, and in turn promoted the Kingdom of our Lord.
Paul was doing what he had been trained as being right within his religion....remember he was a Pharisee?!?
So What about Bin Ladin? He is doing the same thing! He is doing what he thinks is right based on a religion that believes that jews and Christians should be killed..... I have the data to back that up too...... (contact me for the reference). So what should we do? Pray! Pray for Bin Ladin, that he too would be contacted as was Saul/Paul. Imagine the witness Bin Ladin would have in the Islamic World! Prayer warriors you know what to do!
Now Let's Change this World!
