I wouldn’t be surprised if that heretic RT Kendall meets Arafat in the afterlife and the two of them discuss how “heaven” is far, far hotter than they thought it would be.
If somehow Arafat got to heaven, he is probably running around, trying to boink little boy angels.
What doesn’t surprise me is that a proponent of the modern, “feel good”, “no obligations,” “everyone is special,” “God only cares about love” brand of Christianity would say something like this.
If he’s there, send me to Hell.
If he’s right I’m signing up for AdultFriendFinder tomorrow . . .
I’m thinking that if you see Yasser in the afterlife, you are NOT in heaven.
I imagine the only thing he said was “Jaysus Christ, that hurts!”
I have no idea who RT Kendall is nor what “church” he leads but if he thinks an unrepentant terrorist is in heaven, he is not praying to the same God as the rest of us.
On the other hand, I might be surprised to see Mohammad the Prophet there. Just my opinion.
Of course, I will certainly be surprised to see me there, also. I'm not kidding.
Years ago, I attended a service at a Christian & Missionary Alliance church in which some idiotic woman stood and upbraided the congregation for not preraching the Gospel enough to outsiders. She said that a young woman who lived near her had recented died and "now that girl is in Hell!"
She didn't know where that girl was because she was too ignorant to understand that only God knows what is in our hearts and only God is the judge.
Regardless of our contempt for Arafat's actions on earth, God knows if his sins were forgiven through the blood of Jesus or not. What sin is too big for God to forgive?
are we thinking of the same heaven
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 ...
By their fruits shall you know them.
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.
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.
