Sorry it took so long to write ya back. I’ve read almost the entire left behind series, and saw the first movie. (I still have 3 books to read). I agree, if he was serious in all of those postings ....whatever was wrong with his mind, the story of the rapture made it worse. Especially if he indeed thought he could lose his salvation. Such a terrible terrible plight, and a tragic ending.
I had similar fears and traumas in my teens over The Rapture etc.
Occasionally teens would joke about such thoughts and feelings. But it was rarely a joking matter, to me.
Here are some excerpts, w/ me adding hilites:
A post from DyingChild_65, made at 9:33 a.m. Sunday [ie between killings], said he had been a member of the Denver chapter of Youth With a Mission, a member of the occult group Ad Astra Oasis in Denver and a staff member of the missionary group King's Kids Denver.
.......
Murray participated in several camps with King's Kids Denver, which does Christian outreach. The family that runs King's Kids Denver introduced Murray to Youth With a Mission in Denver, said Paul Filidis, a spokesman for Youth With a Mission in Colorado Springs.
"They said he was a special case," Filidis said Tuesday, agreeing to speak after talking with King's Kids Denver director Ronny Morris.
After Youth With a Mission officials refused to send Murray on a mission, the Morris family offered to talk to YWAM officials but Murray asked them not to, said Filidis.
Morris' daughter Veronica said, "We loved Matthew, and we cared for him the best we could."
No doubt, he refused their help and their love, because like everyone else in his life who tried to help him, he could see right through them for the hypocritical Christian liars that they were, always lying to him about wanting to help him.
And I can state that with virtual certainty, because ....... HEY, IF EVEN 10% OF WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE......
