Some Horrible News and A Question
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:47 pm
I just heard part of what happened there fore I do not have a location.
A 19 year old boy went in to a mall and opened fire. Not sure how many died but he did kill himself in the end.
He has a pending court date, and left a suicide note saying he was going out in style.
I have not Idea of his beliefs, but is very possible he could have been a believer in Christ and His sacrifice for us here on this earth.
If he was a Christian with very serious issues, then is he awaiting judgment before he goes to heaven, or does he fall short of entering in heaven?
I know we are not here to judge, but we do have opinions and we do wonder about things like this.
I would like to open this for discussion.
Not only should we have faith in the Lord, accept Christ as our savior, but we should attempt to life as good as a life as possible. To live in a Christ like fashion. This is what we need to strive for.
Now the last thing some one does is take out other innocent lives, then commit suicide, I take issue with this.
If he met all the criteria, being baptized, accepting Christ as his savior etc.. He should be accepted into heaven by the Grace of God. But I do not like it.
All people will meet The Lord on his Great White Thrown for Judgment before entering in to Heaven. This I believe, that is a motivator to being as good a possible even though we will be accepted by the Grace of God and not through good works. (Though I do forget it at times)
I won't argue anything that is said, I may question why you believe what you do; so that I may better understand. But not argue it saying you are wrong.
Any other opinion?
