I don’t think we should rejoice, especially if the soul is headed to Hell. In that case, we should almost mourn…not for the physical body but for the loss of one to the Kingdom that wasn’t able to be harvested. Yet, ultimately it is God who knows whether a person is saved or not; albeit “they will be known by their fruit”. The more Biblical path would be to rejoice not in the death of a force rather for the ones whom were freed or otherwise a step closer to being so due to the absence or reduction in force.

Not to rejoice over a persons death. Maybe about the end of evil

I think you can do both. I think you can rejoice over a force for evil going away while also recognizing that some of those forces are still human and could still be redeemed. The fact that anybody, even the most evil person, would ever spend a literal eternity being destroyed without perishing is a terrifying concept to think about regardless of whether or not that eternal destruction and separation is self-inflicted. Moreover, one can still find salvation in the final seconds of their life if God wills it. The thing is, we ultimately don't know a person's salvation. Ours is the only one that can be believed in confidently, but I'm certain that Christ has revealed Himself to many on their deathbed.

does God rejoice over someone's death? there's your answer. evil will always exist in this world and the deaths of those promoting it change nothing. if we shot all the pedophiles in the world would that be the end of it? no, within the next generation some sick bastards would engage in that again.

Rejoice with rejoicers and weep with weepers / be all things to all men. I.e. careful, change comes from the bottom, death at the top is always wonderful but isn't gonna change a thing.

Seem to be pretty clear?! Praising God =/= rejoicing Also your last sentence does not follow Didn't your mother ever teach you logic?

Stop forcing your understanding of God into the frame of your personal preferences

How about: Rejoice in the end of the force Rejoice in the temporary reprieve from suffering Don't think about the damned soul but if you do, be sober about it Oh also using "whom" doesn't make it more holy sounding.

It is good to rejoice when good overcomes evil. It is good to rejoice when justice finds the evil doer. One should mourn when an unrepentant person dies without being reconciled to God. 2 Peter 3:9 (NASB) "The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."

My understanding of God dictates how I view the entire world, so... no?

Preferences-->God-->God's character-->everything else Basically idolatry God's word-->God's character-->everything else including preferences If you've ever said "I couldn't love a God who {insert uncomfortable Scripture} then you're guilty

I've never said that, though. Nothing even close to that.

"I'm certain that Cx has revealed himself to many on their deathbed" Misplaced certainty

Did I say that's in the Bible? No, it's an opinion based off of knowledge that the Bible says God doesn't want anyone to perish. I didn't say everyone was SAVED on their deathbed.

Don't be a liar. Blocked.
