Alexis, How does the Bible give scriptural justification for suicide bombing? As someone who has read it through several times, I can’t even begin to fathom how one could read that into the letter and spirit of the Book.

Call me an Alexis Apologist.

A little John 15:13 taken out of context.

John 15:13

Greater Love Hath No Man Than To Lay Down His Life For His Brothers

John 15:13 in context:

12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

14You are my friends if you do what I command.

15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

17This is my command: Love each other.
