What should the Biblical response be to people who blow themselves up along with innocent bystanders?
The new web-based ministry, Adopt a Terrorist for Prayer (ATFP), helps Christians follow Jesus' instructions to love and pray for their enemies, ASSIST News Service reports. While agreeing the military needs to fight terrorism, Dr. Thomas Bruce, the founder of ATFP, advocates prayer as a counter-offensive that is off limits to generals and politicians. Bruce sees the war on terrorism as a spiritual struggle against fear.
"The terrorists are just the highest profile intimidators in Satan's arsenal," he said in a news release. "They think they are serving God." Bruce said he believes terrorists are vulnerable to an authentic word from God and to Jesus' forgiving love.
He referred in the news release to what God says through the prophet Ezekiel, "I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live."
