Nah...it wasn't a robbery. It was just some hate filled individual that needed to kill somebody. He found two victims that were as easy and unarmed.

He's a typical thug, coward that needs to be hunted down and ........ punished. I'm sure he'll have a novel defense strategy.

The way I see it is that mankind will discuss religion until their last days on earth. Healthy debate is interesting as long as everyone keeps it on an intellectual level and refrains from calling names. Heck, that's what FR is for.

I leave Jesus Christ, the Son of God to judge us all when that day comes.

And I'm really glad that your grandmother had someone help her when she needed help. That's what we're all here for.

THE END ;-)

Get off it idjit, a young man is dead and another is in critical shape. Don't need your type of crap, go preach it on the corner somewhere else.

"Please don't start that here."

I don't know what was wrong with saying welcome. You should maybe deal with your stress in another way.
Can't you call someone and find out if you knew the victim? I know that being on FR would be one of the last places I would be if I thought someone I knew was killed or injured.

Actually, the New Testament requires Christians to point out false teachers and false teaching with rigor. We are not "even to share a meal with such". Stating Mormon facts is not bias, it's something that the Lord and Paul and Peter etc., require of me.

But perhaps I need to forgive all the Mormons I have known for their passionate ignorance and desire to deceive as they tried to proselytize me.

It was a deep wound that helped me in the long run to be scrupulous where Christian doctrine is concerned.

wow, that pride thing is a toughie, ain't it?... and Charity to a young man that died doing what??? Just trying to find his way towards the Lord.

But of course since you're the final word on who the "false teachers" are then by all means pass judgment on these evil false teachers. By all means let us not forget that you suffered a "deep wound" that now allows you to scrupulously defend the Christian doctrine by putting down others. That's what Jesus did... and Paul.... and I guess Peter.

From what I can tell, most of us are just trying to muddle through the best we can in hope that the Lord will somehow through his grace let our pathetic lives reflect well on his sacrifice for us.

I think anytime you think you're a "better Christian" than somebody else....... you need to take a hard look in the mirror brother.

Pride.... it's a mother..... I know, I've got it in spades.

WTH is your problem? I have lived around and worked with Mormons for decades, over all they are as fine a people as one could ask for.

They ride bikes out here. Two by two.

I hope they find the creep and extract his lungs and brains, if any, through his nose.

Gee I don't have a problem. Just stating a fact. Is that wrong?

C.S. Lewis wrote a chapter in Mere Christianity on pride. It's book three chapter 8, called The Great Sin. It's a great read.

You're pushing your luck.

No one knows yet a name because it hasn't been released yet. The family will be the first to find out.

I learned about this on FR. I got a call about midnight.

Primary indications are that the people I personally know were serving in other areas but we can't be 100% sure until later.

Now if I want to be online until 5am so be it.

This is such a trajedy. My little sister is serving in this mission and actually just left this area before Christmas. She always would talk about how dangerous it is there. I just cant imagine if this would have happened to my sister. And to all of you who are using this as a cheap excuse to bash guys who are giving two years to something they believe in, I hope you get a life. I doubt any of you are devoted enough to your own religion to go out and do this for two years. I bet you wouldnt last more than a month.

...and you think that this type of post under an article descirbing the murder of a mormon will draw people to Christianity how?

You my friend, seem awfully confused. I don't remember Christ showing the insensitivity that you are showing.
