The point of the article being missed by some responders is that Kendall shared the Gospel message of Salvation through Jesus with Arafat when given the opportunity.

The Blood of Jesus is sufficient for all.

Period.

To be perfectly honest, this is exactly why I a Christian. To believe in a God that has the love to forgive and accept even people such as Arafat, it really is an awesome thing. That is true power. I will not believe in a lesser god than this. I will never know what was in old Arafat’s heart when he died, but if we were to see him or any other that we perceive as monsters, who are we to judge God on who he allows into Heaven?

No good god would ever let a filty rotten mass murdering terrorist thief into his heaven.

When you get to your “heaven,” RT Kendall, look around.
If you see Arafat there, you’ve made it to the IslamoNazi Hell.

Where anybody who’d make such an asinine, blasphemous statement as yours, belongs, IMHO of course.

May I suggest you get right down on your knees and repent, apologize to the one true God..... immediately, while He’s letting you have a little more time ...

This might actually be tremendous sarcasm on his part. Even the suggestion that Arafat might have converted to Christianity at some point would send his Muslim followers into a froth.

If someone could Photoshop a picture of Arafat praying in a Christian church, Muslims would likely have a collective “dog stroke”.

Rt Kendall probably won’ see Arafat in Heaven. Either way.

How many years ago was this?

Just think of the difference it would have made in history if yassar had made a public declaration of his conversion before he died. it would have caused such disruption in the muzzie world, and might have prevented a whole slew of evils.

But he didn’t.

It would seem that he didn’t even share this marvelous conversion with his immediate family!

But, he didn’t.

Just think of the effect this would have had on the Arab Christian Community, if this so-called pastor had shared this .

But he didn’t.

We hear of wonderful last minute conversions a lot, and let’s face it, the Blood of Jesus is Sufficient for any and all sinners. But if this were true about arafat, I’m am sure we would have heard about it right away.

I’m sorry. I just don’t buy it.

So it was a lousy god that let the Apostle Paul into heaven...Jesus paid the price for 'everyone' who will come to him...

Paul had his famous realization moment on the road to Damascus and proved to be a man of faith. How can we possibly say or assume Arafat ever reformed or chose God over Satsn/Allah/whatever? There’s simply Zero real evidence of any such transformation - none at all - and certainly Arafat did nothing to show any repentance for all his murders in his long terrorist career. I say nothing against God’s salvation power. The issue is not God or Jesus or the cross. The issue is this article speculates in the worst possible manner about a mass murderer Such speculation only serves to “legitimize “ terriorism, hatred, and murders by others — who will read the article and draw the obvious conclusion that their path to salvation can or possibly even should include killing a few thousand innocent human beings and preaching the mass slaughter of millions more of God’s children. ( if the author had any real proof Arafat found God, repented, and atoned as best humanly possible for all the people he butchered — then we could have a different discussion — one all about salvation and God’s love. . But it’s not here, sorry but it’s just not. There has never been any real evidence Arafat ever even regretted a single murdered or mutilated child — not did he even see fit to leave word in his will that he wishes his followers to stop killing Jews , Chrustians or anyone else. Not even a single known atoning line to , hopefully, dissuade his followers and successors from the Satanic course Arafat laid out fir them. God knows, We can’t know for sure, of course , but we can exercise discernment and we certainly can see the poisoned fruit arafat’s tree has left us,

Well, it’s possible. I once started a lively youth group discussion with the question: If Satan repented, could he be admitted back to Heaven? Answer is no - the Bible tells us that Satan and his angel/demons are eternally condemned (I forget where it is but I know it’s in there). Arafat, however, had the opportunity to repent and embrace Jesus - if he did he’s there. Color me skeptical, but it’s possible.
