"???"

Hm.. Four names yet only three question marks.

I knew a Renée from Shady Side and those are the names of her ‘rents and sibs'. I figured if you were that Renée you’d reply with: !!!!

Never mind, lol.

I just think that blaming the president in office, whether democrat or republican, for a nut job’s killing spree, is insanely silly. And you call ME a fool.

Dittoes on the ‘60s floodgates.

The ‘60s screwed us up BIG time.

(Even our dogs got worse after that! Not kidding!)

"WHAT are you talking about? I believe once saved, always saved. Except if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Just because a man went crazy, you’re jumping on all of us? You’re not to judge when it comes to heaven and hell and I think this is not the place to have this brought up."

The article says the guy chickened out previously and he is on record saying, "At least that is what I was told. Eternal life does NOT depend on works."

If he had not been taught "Once Saved, Always Saved" and instead believed he would go to hell for killing a bunch of people, I doubt he would have done it. Now, he probably sits in hell knowing he was lied to.

His actions are the result of being taught "Once Saved, Always Saved". A devilish doctrine with devilish results, as we can clearly see.

So, was he saved or not and how do you know?

His actions were the result of his being mentally ill. You can’t see that?

His actions were the result of his belief in the "Once Saved, Always Saved" doctrine that someone taught him.

The article says the guy chickened out previously and he is on record saying, "Maybe soon, I will see God and Jesus. At least that is what I was told. Eternal life does NOT depend on works."

If he had been taught the truth; that he would go to hell for murdering a bunch of people, I'm betting he wouldn't have done it.

Of course you aren't going to admit the consequences of that belief. You'll make the usual excuse that 'he wasn't really saved', he was mentally-ill.

It's always a post-hoc philosophical rationalization with "Once Saved, Always Saved".

Sheesh. So, you don’t see that he was mentally ill and you want to blame it on a religious belief? You can’t see that he was mentally ill? That’s a problem for you to work out. Not me.

Sheesh. So, you don't see that he was mentally ill and committed this heinous act because he held a false belief? You can't see that he was lied to? That's a problem for you to work out. Not me.

>>When I was a kid I used to hear the old farts say “that never hapenned in my day.”

Well, I’ll tell you what...THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN MT DAY!
<<

Way back late 1940’s a man named Jesse Uhruh killed 13 people in one afternoon.
He kept of a list of his neighbors he thought had slighted him and he labeled them ‘Germans’.

1965 was a banner year for mass shootings.

In 1984 there was James Oliver Huberty who walked into a MacDonald's hamburger joint and shot dead 21 men, women and children including one baby.
