James Holmes, the gunman behind the Dark Knight massacre in Colorado last July, has reportedly turned Muslim and prays five times a day.
The killer showed off a lengthy, thick beard during a court appearance earlier this month, and a prison source has claimed it is a symbol of his new-found faith.
The source said Holmes has turned to Islam as a way of justifying his horrific murder spree in an Aurora, Colorado cinema on July 20 which left 12 people dead and 58 people wounded.

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
I guess he wants 72 virgins in the afterlife, since I guess his b/f will be the husband.
I guess the inmates are fine with ISIS beheading kids for eating or watching soccer..or beheading Christians???
>>You don’t know who will be repentant at their last breath, and who will not. The fellow crucified next to Jesus said he had deserved it because of his crimes —— if so, he must have been a really horrible sinner —— but he repented in the end.
I don’t claim to know. But the other fellow crucified next to Jesus did not repent and he is in hell now.

But we won't know about anyone in this life until they, and we, reach reach the other side. That's why Christ, through the teachings of St. Paul, exhorts us to offer prayers for all men.

Why?
Are we going to change God’s mind? (Calvinism)
Are we going to send prayers directly into Holmes’ mind to change him? (Humanism, Buddhism)
Are we petitioning God to reach inside Holmes’ mind to force him to change? (Arminianism)
9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurersand for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me. (1 Tim 1:9-11)
The moral law is of use to unregenerate men, to awaken their consciences, to flee from the wrath to come. (WLC Q.96)
Holmes is facing the law (both civil and Mosaic) right now. Instead of fleeing from the wrath to come by running to Christ, as a person who had the Holy Spirit would do in such a circumstance (i.e. awakening their conscience), he fled into the arms of Satan. I think that by his fruits, you know him. He is a child of Satan.
Good stuff Mrs. Don-O. Thank you! I need to be reminded and rebuked from time to time to keep me on the right path. I admit, as of late, I have shown little love or mercy for others, especially those on the left, politicians or people like that killer. Thank you again and bringing light to what the Lord has said.
I don't have to figure out "why". I don't have to figure out the mind of God. All I know is that we must be obedient to Christ, who, through the teachings of St. Paul, exhorts us to offer prayers for all men.
Think of all the time we wasted bug-tussling about this, when we could have been praying. (Me, too.)
Ill pray for you, too. Why, I don't know. Please do the same for me.
As we say in Tennessee, “Preciate’ja”, Dragonblustar!
In technical terminology . . . he's a loon!

That’s why I’m a horrible Christian. I ask why. Fortunately, Christ died for me too and gave me his sinless life to hold up as my own. Again, I don’t know why. But, I still ask.
Turned to Satan/Allah because he’s evil.
Bad doctrine leads to bad outcomes.
He’d not even make paradise, let alone heaven.
And now that he’s ssentenced to life he can convert more...
How conveeeeeeeeennient
