"People have got a seriously messed up idea of the doctrine of Forgiveness of late and quite frankly it's beginning to piss me off.

"

That's OK. I forgive you.

[franky]

Our Pastor used the Lancaster example of good marriages and children in his homily this AM. Also, we prayed for them.

[It's me]

Since the gunman's last sin was suicide, he never had the chance to repent and is therefore damned.

Ah, but you see, you will never know what he thought in the instant between pulling the trigger and death. So, you will never know whether or not God forgave him.

[It's me]

especially when there has been no repentance.

That you know of....

This event is a watershed in American history. This is different. This is the story of the new century.

But the mainstream media does not care. They continue to incessantly pump perversion into our homes. Foley. Foley. Foley. An utterly insignificant matter which will be long forgotten even 5 years from now.

Meanwhile a demonstration of the values of Christ, the values of what underpins the blessings of God that is America, is happening in Pennsylvania. I hope the entire world can see the goodness of this nation, vs. the heartless, graceless, remorseless, evil that is Islam.

Their strength of faith should be a beacon to other Christians, in my opinion, and an inspiration to non-Christians.

I hope the lost souls in America who tragically find Islam in their despair can be ministered to by this story and come back to the Bible. We must hope they allow the grace of Christ into their heart, rather than submit themselves as slaves to the ruthless subjugation of Islam.
