however, my personal belief is that we do NOT KNOW
what business God transacts with folks at their moment of death.
I believe that
ALMIGHTY GOD MEANT IT
WHEN HE SAID
HE THAT EARNESTLY GENUINELY SEEKS ME--SHALL FIND ME.
He looks on the heart.
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people.

Love all the people, especially the children!

But to be fair there are areas in the world where Islam is by far the dominant religion and honour killings are unheard of.
I suspect that maybe people use religious teachings to support the cultural concept that serious dishonouring of the family should be punished by death etc..
If that's true then as Islam is an all consuming religion the bounderies between culture and religion are blurred and these killings become accepted and even expected.
But where there wasn't a culture of honour killings local Islamic teachers and customs do not advocate honour killings.
And even in the other religious groups it does seem to be those who have a deep sense of cultural identity who commit these killings.
I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud and could easily be talking complete bollocks.
Everyday in the US, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends.

if everyone in the world did honour killings then this world would be a much better place, because then we wont have to listen to people like lady gaga or paris hilton or any of them for that matter, this group of women have destroyed a generation of children. in 10-20 years you will all discover the impact of the corrupt media

The Old testament stuff involved demon worship that sacrificed babies and children in a fire to the demon god Molech. The culture God ordered wiped-out was horrifically destructive to children. And evidently the insidious demonic infection potential was soooo virulent that God wanted it all wiped out totally to protect the world and the Israeli's.
