Zarqawi's reward in Paradise

Shamelessly swiped from Denny at Grouchy Old Cripple: Wanna know something Z-Man? You got 67 more of them to get through... Heh... Enjoy your time in Gehenna (the islamists spell it as jahannam) Hell could very well be the same place as Heaven -- living in God's love. The Sufi's have the practice of "polishing your heart" so that it reflects the love you have out to the world. To spend an eternity in Heaven, knowing what your ignorance and fear and hatred have caused you to do might well be the supreme torture. I rather like the words of Saint Isaac of Syria (or Nineveh) who wrote:

"... those who find themselves in Hell will be chastised by the scourge of love. How cruel and bitter this torment of love will be! For those who understand that they have sinned against love, undergo greater suffering than those produced by the most fearful tortures. The sorrow which takes hold of the heart, which has sinned against love, is more piercing than any other pain. It is not right to say that the sinners in Hell are deprived of the love of God ... But love acts in two ways, as suffering of the reproved, and as joy in the blessed!"

Sounds like an un-polished heart to me. RIP Z-Man, you are not missed. Posted by DaveH at June 25, 2006 7:59 PM
