God bless and comfort these good people.
Christ was present and welcomed home his children during this tragedy.
Pass it around
Prayers for the families & community.
Pass it around
Thank you for that. It is appreciated.
Yes. Very much so.
Our failure, and challenge, is that Americans such as those murdered there aren’t hoodwinked in to supporting the Ivy League leftists.
Ben Hur, The Robe, The Ten Commandments, that generation of Hollywood is over. The 60s brought horrific changes and they have eaten at the country ever since, with the exception of the Reagan years.
Do you see yourself as Christ?
Do you believe you died for my sins?
Is it your place to forgive me?
The answer to these questions should be no.
You very well could be proof my assumption was correct.
“One after the other they asked for God to have mercy on his soul-some even forgave him.”
Yea, Just like Reginald Denny, only the media will milk
this for all it’s worth.
God is telling these Christians if you want to heal, you must forgive.
We, the audience, really have no place in this conservation. We are more like gossips mixing in their private business. Of course, we do that all the time and with TV and the net we can see how destructive it becomes.
But, for the people properly involved who have a right to speak, this is useful to them.
You hit that nail square on the head.
Good going. The only thing I have question for is,
in this case could it be the mental health of these
Christians or a tactical move by activists?
Donna, this whole thread is made up of people’s personal thoughts on what took place.
Some folks think it was great. I don’t.
If someone murders my family member, you stick a mic in front of me and I’m going to address the best aspects of them I can. I’m going to tell the public how much they meant to me and how much I am going to miss them. I am not going to waste one moment talking about an evil person who stole my loved one from my, my family, and my community’s presence.
Thank you for your comments.
“this is how God turns evil to Good.”
But it will be used by men to portray the Good as evil.
I would suspect it was well meaning Christians.
Well meaning Christians do lots of things I would elect not to.
It doesn’t necessarily make them wrong. I just don’t agree with them.
Do you see yourself as Christ?
Answer: No, I see myself as a child of God; due the inheritance of His kingdom... Christ asked us to emulate Him... including pray and forgive those who persecute us....
Do you believe you died for my sins?
Answer: No, put I see no way how this influences why Christians should not forgive their those who hurt them... especially if directed by the One who did....
Is it your place to forgive me?
Answer: Yes... if I am wronged Christ asked us to do such.. in addition to praying for you.
The answer to these questions should be no.
Answer: absolutely not....
You very well could be proof my assumption was correct.
It would happen to you, too, unless you decided to rebel.
Supporting scripture...
“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ 44”But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.…
Matthew 5:33-34
And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11:25
...and of course there is the Lords Prayers... forgeive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us....
Donna, it is called surrendering all to Him... including your will... toughest thing in this world to do... but if we do He promises blessings in abundence... and that would mean a peace that surpasses all human understanding...
I have felt that peace... and still do to some degree today... it has changed my life...
Did you see the video of what the families said at post 44?
