>>Obviously, God has chosen to keep this hell-bent murderer alive to the present day. Our Savior is not through with him....God is certainly still calling him.

Not necessarily. If we were kept alive until we accepted Christ, then some people would be hundreds of years old. Was Hitler kept alive until he repented? We have our life and it is over when it is over. That is no indication of whether God was through with us or not.

>>In fact, Jesus died for James Holmes. He died for him, and we don’t even pray for him?

His work on the cross is sufficient for all, but efficient for the elect. Holmes chose Satan with his prison conversion to islam. This fallen world has unrepentant evil too.

"If we were kept alive until we accepted Christ, then some people would be hundreds of years old"

I didn't say that or imply it. My point, however, is that it would be blasphemy to say Jesus cannot save even a person who has done a damnable thing. He must repent. We must pray for him. Hope in God consists in a firm confidence in His power and will to save.

Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

We should be praying on this promise for the murderer's sake: not repeating ad nauseam, "It ain't gonna happen."

Jesus came for the LOST sheep. Hard to imagine anyone more lost than James Holmes. Is it impossible for him to be saved? For God, nothing is impossible.
