Isaiah 32:
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry; and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

And yet there is this Proverbs 24: 17-18:
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles ; 18 Or the LORD will see it and be displeased , And turn His anger away from him.

Helen Thomas is not on the same level of evil as Hitler and Stalin. Agreed. I won't say anything negative about the dead, so I'll just leave it at:

Helen Thomas is not on the same level of evil as Hitler and Stalin As sinners, we are all on the same level. God abhors all sin and despises it in equal measure. Were it not so, God would not have sent us a Savior to die to redeem all of it.
I didn't care for Helen Thomas. I don't care for Harry Reid or Barack Obama. But since God is not willing that any should perish, I will not condemn their sin as worse than any of my own.

Proverbs 11:10 - When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, And when the wicked perish, there is glad shouting. This could also be interpreted as a simple statement of fact, not a recommendation. The propriety of a celebration would depend on the circumstances.

Absolutely no apologies or soft-peddling. Forgot to mention LBJ, Tip O’Neil and Teddy Kennedy. I’ll think of more later.

Exactly. Peter Jennings and Helen Thomas may have had major faults, but they are not mass murderers. There is no comparison.
To: MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
Since Jesus came He told us to love our neighbors as ourselves. I don’t think these prayers are correct for us to pray...but sometimes one can’t help being relieved when we see justice served. Death means that soul will never have another chance to make things right with their Maker. It is sad.

"When the Bible speaks, it's God talking."Debate open...
Can we start here? How many translations from Greek to Latin, some Aramaic thrown in, then on to German, French and English after 2 millenia. I don't disparage faith but my status as a self-identified agnostic causes me to question it.

Peter Jennings and Helen ThomasBoth of them were advocates for some VERY evil people. Helen Thomas was in particular. No retraction. What has been said has been said.

Should have included Barney Frank, Fidel Castro, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Farrakhan. Will think of more later.

Helen Thomas is (was?) not on the same level of evil as Hitler and StalinOh yes she was (she better be dead). ArrogantBustard put it correctly:
Her legacy: 49 years of lying, dissembling, carrying water for the demonicRAT party and pushing socialism, sodomy, abortion and gun-control. She was a whore for tyranny.

Believing what’s in the scriptures is obviously based on faith, although the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls have shown there have been virtually no changes since the over the past 2 thousand years.

There are sheep and there are sheepdogs. Sheepdogs hate all wolves equally.
Death to tyrants.
