[I waited 45 seconds and actually posted something substantial--Ed.]
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — At least four people were shot outside of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, but it was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away, authorities said.
New Life Church was also a signatory on the letter sent to President Bush last week urging a two state solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
This may have nothing to do with anything - just looking for connections.
I posted above that WYAM is a connection to both locations, Arvada and New Life Church.
YOU
ARE
ASSUMING
That I’m screaming
instead
of
raising my eyebrows;
raising my tone half a note;
looking more intently with my eyes.
This arbitrary and artificial PRESUMPTION that CAPS ALWAYS equals screaming is childish nonsense, imho.
Why support such a restricted straight-jacket on textual communication just because some idiot early on in the internet decided that’s what it ALWAYS MEANT and
ALWAYS HAD TO MEAN.
Sheesh.
The net gestapo rides again.
Dunno, Quix.
I just heard the FOX news report a few minutes ago.
Wellll ... maybe once.
What I am saying: God’s nature is not to commit murder; He is incapable of committing evil atrocities. He will allow things to happen not of His own doing. But these things happen either as “natural” consequences to people’s actions or satan’s interference in people’s lives (choices people have made through their free will....even to the point of making evil choices to commit murder). God cannot interfere with everything everyone does every time, otherwise, there would be no such thing as “free will.”
OTOH, as He has in times past, He will and does intervene oftentimes and sends protection to His people.
Ultimately, He will put an end to all the evilness going on in this world once for all. Tat will certainly entail a Holy War; however, it is not waged for the purpose of evil intent, as is the case we had today in these church shootings.
I guess I’m not making myself clear. *sigh*
Interesting.
Thanks.
Thanks.
our big TV has been set out in the carport for some months and off many months before that.
Sounds like a good practice, especially if the entrance is away from the main part of the church where others are gathered.
But you SEEM to be implying that the sharpshooter had to be operating out of
evil intent
instead of out of the Righteous God Mandated censure of Evil at Holy Spirit’s bidding.
I believe she operated as God’s agent in God’s way in this situation.
God . . . as Almighty God . . . definer and creator of all that is . . .
also . . . defines what MURDER is vs a righteous execution.
You’re right - they didn’t mention it in this last press conference that I can recall.
Here are some links were person in custory is mentioned:

Rev. 22:15 may point out how this perpetrator has sealed his fate, just before his death, with no chance for repentence in the body. (Heb. 9:27)
With this perp's heart, God apparently deems it wouldn't have been right that he would be dressed in white robes on that Last Day, able to say, "Don't taze' on me, bro. God saved me by having the gun jam!"

No, I have not said anything about the sharp shooter except that God sent her to protect His people from greater harm.
Where’d you get it in your head that I ever said the shart shooter was evil???
News.au.com tombstoned me.
They even deleted my posts thanking Australia for helping us in Afghanistan.
News.Au.com Has it out for us. I sent them several nastygrams after spending a lot of time trying to be pragmatic. Seems the folks in OZ think we are mad with the blood lust.
bloody hell..
God also notes in Scripture that the authorities are set up BY HIM
to execute judgement and punishment on evil doers.
Of course . . . when the authorities become evil . . . that’s a whole ‘nother kettle of fish.
I’m sorry but I gotta laugh! Saw that coming. Oh well, at least you made your point.
Perhaps so. Thanks for your kind words.
What happened between the perp and God AT THE POINT OF DEATH
is beyond fruitful for me to speculate much about. I’ll leave emphatic pontifications about that to God.
SEEMS LIKE the odds are he won’t be inside the pearly gates.
Didn’t mean to say that you’d said that, per se.
Just that your statements seemed to imply, infer that or that your perspective would end logically in that position in at least the minds of some.
I gave it a go.
On the bright side I saw a few “diggers” on the page, though they was censored as well
