Well, then I guess that settles that. A young 24-year old girl with her entire life ahead of her is apparently murdered and her body is left in the woods to rot, and NO ONE here even bothers to put out a few words of condolence or reflection to their family.
I think oceanperch's observation is right on the mark. Many here have been so obsessed with trying to play amateur detective on the Levy murder that they overlook our humanity in the process.
2sheep: You should be ashamed of yourself for using the death of someone's child to offhandedly throw down some scripture. Your self-righteousness and lack of human decency gives Christians a bad name.
Sure, Chandra made some stupid mistakes, as all of us have done in our youth. But this doesn't mean that God has lost sight of her, and does not give you license to dance on her grave, as you have just done.
What you people need here is less scripture-quoting and more human understanding.
P.S.: Oh, and if you think I'm some kind of DU distruptor you can check my profile to see that I have been an FR member longer than most of you probably have.
Well said. This is a terrible, terrible tragedy and our unequivocal prayers and sympathy should flow abundantly to this family.
Ro 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The scripture says that they who do these things -- the things Chandra did -- are worthy only of death, that the wages of sin is death and that they are headed for the lake of fire. In 1 Sam 1-4 the Word clearly shows (and these things are written to us as examples) that God judged Eli's house, killed Eli and his sons who practiced evil.
1Sa 3:13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
It was Baal-worshipping Jezebel who taught and seduced the Lord's servant to commit fornication. God destroyed her, the dogs licked up her bones and her body became as dung on the earth. The Lord is making enormous pictures for all to see...if they will. Click here for the bigger pic in regard to the fall of America: 657
Re 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
No doubt the Lord has his eye on Chandra, but she is not where you think, and she is not receiving blessings from Him for servicing Condit but rather eternal rewards of disobedience, adultery, indolatry, lies. She should have been taught better by her parents. Her father joked with her and was PROUD of her affair with a married congressmen. Her mother named her a name from some East Indian culture or religion. Check your Bible for "proud" and "pride" and "strange gods" and see how it will bless you.
The God-fearing who follow Him in holiness and obedience reap the rewards of His goodness. The God-despising who do anything they want with no regard to consequences are sowing to the wind shall reap the whirlwind of destruction. They are dead men/women walking. To believe otherwise is contrary to scripture. For a person to profess to be a Christian and believe God rewards lasciviousnes, mean that person does not believe the Bible and is therefore an unbeliever, a hypocrite and shall receive a hypocrite's reward.
Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ro 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Re 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
And never posted before....hmmmmm.
On the day they identified her body, there were many posts mentioning condolences for her parents. Maybe you just missed them...?
