The Dark Night in Denver—Groping for Answers
Bible Prophecy Blog ^ | 7/20/2012 | Dr. Albert Mohler

The news hit the airwaves like a sudden onslaught, and the truth began to sink in. It has happened again. This time, 50 people shot while attending the midnight premier of the last in the Batman sequence, “The Dark Knight Rises.” According to press reports, a 24-year-old man burst into the crowded theater, wearing a gas mask and carrying an arsenal. After deploying what is believed to be tear gas, he opened fire with a shotgun, a rifle, and two handguns. At least 12 people are dead, and dozens are injured, many critically.

Over 100 police officers responded to the scene in Aurora, just a few miles from Columbine High School, where in 1999 two high school students killed 12 fellow students and one teacher in a rampage that also injured 21 other students. That school massacre became a milestone in the nation’s legacy of violence. Now, yet another Denver suburb joins that tragic list.

The inevitable media swarm focuses on the data first—the who, what, when, and where questions. Then they, along with the public at large, begin to ask the why question. That is always the hard one.

Evil doesn’t have a specific face as it doesn’t want you know what it looks like, so it can deceive you.

The answer is this: someone is either evil, or he is whacked. It’s no different than a hurricane, a tornado, or an earthquake, or for that matter, a mad dog. Leave God out of it. He gives us freedom, in exchange for which we, as inhabitants of our bodies, are subject to the exigencies of life within the physical cosmos.

Used to be we put the ‘whacked’ into homes away from the public. But apparently failure of proper oversight doomed the general population to having the ‘whacked’ walk among us. And at times our compassion comes back and bites us. Guns have nothing to do with it.

The subject’s a little too raw for lame pun headlines.

Here’s the answer, there is bad seed in this world, and there’s nothing you can do to avoid having bad seed. The best parenting in the world, censoring movies and music, will not avoid bad seed being among us.

You’re telling me now this is a face of evil? You should have told the world yesterday. Heck, you, or somebody who knows these things so much better than the rest of us oughta tell the world which faces among the 6 billion are the faces of evil before bad things happen and not after, because what’s the use? And on the face of it, the face you’re showing in the photo appears to be a face of goodness, Mr Fetus, if that is your real name.

Right answer. satan himself can appear as an angel of light.

People open the gateways for demonic possession and influence thru drug use (see “pharmakeia” and “pharmakyos” in a Greek dictionary) and various other sinful behavior...

When you hand the key to your body over, more powerful entities take charge. Spiritual Rule #1.

The answer is Jesus Christ.

There is no other possible answer.

He either lives within you, or something else will.

The answer is Jesus and all that’s good in this world.

Jesus the Lion and the Lamb.

WOW! Slow down, will you? I did not say it was the face of evil, I asked if this is the face of evil. Big difference. I've never claimed to "know these things so much better than the rest". What's wrong with you? Why did my post touch such a sensitive spot?

That the face "appears to be a face of goodness" doesn't have prevent it from being a face of evil.

Finally, I am not Mr. Fetus, the fact that I am posting in FR is proof that I am a former fetus. Why don't you take a cool shower and go to bed? Tired children are always cranky!

Or handing your brain over to evil by allowing wrong thinking into it. Don’t take junk in/i.e.,media, don’t listen to liars because they are hell bent on making you think ‘their way’.

Off topic (I think) Why did you add that tag now and it’s not in your first post on this thread?

Agree. In my humble opinion, “Truth” and values originate with God (The Judeo-Christian one). Without that, there is no such thing as right and wrong, only relativism.

From that foundation, you can easily discern the wrong sources.

Amen. Truth comes from God as He is ALL Truth!

Comment #1 never has a tagline, on any thread.
