That
address by President Obama was generally considered something great in the eyes
of this world. For he spoke as a parent
grieving over the loss of so many who had their whole lives ahead of them.
On
the other hand, in doing so he did something awful. For he made it sound like it was the end of their
existences.
No,
this is not meant to take another shot at him for not really being a “Christian.” For the way he was looking at the [Sandy Hook School massacre] is the way the vast majority of those in the Christian
community look at it.
Yes,
it is a very natural reaction, and the slaughter of innocents is indeed a great
tragedy. Nonetheless, we should be
grieving over those left behind in the aftermath—not over those who no longer
have to face anymore suffering in this world.
It
would be different, of course, if there was a question of whether or not the
souls of those slain children will be welcome to spend all of eternity with our
Heavenly Father in His Kingdom of Heaven as heirs to all that is His in
glory. Be assured that there is not. For our Heavenly Father does not delight in
the eternal damnation of anyone [Ezekiel 18:32], and He is most certainly not
going to reject those who appear to have not fulfilled all of the requirements
of the various churches, which are mostly nothing more than rules made up by
people without any authority to impose them [Matthew 19:14].
No,
it was not only small children who were slain, but again, our Heavenly Father
does not delight in the eternal damnation of anyone. Therefore, we can have complete confidence in
the absolute truth of the matter truly being that everyone who physically dies
has been given plenty of opportunities to truly repent of their sins and accept
Christ Jesus as their own personal Lord and Savior beforehand [Romans 1:18-20].
Alas,
snakes do like to come out from their holes in the wake of great tragedies. For here is the former pastor of a very
prominent Southern Baptist church making it sound like we really can remove the
Lord God Almighty from our schools and prevent Him from reaching the hearts and
minds of our children.
Although,
I must admit that I am in full agreement with Rev. Huckabee on the matter of gun
control legislation. For making it harder
for those who should have a right to bear arms will not keep them out of the
hands of those who should not.
Please
note the distinction between those who should have a right to bear arms and
those who should not. For instead of
seeking to pass a bunch of new laws, we should be doing all that we can to truly
enforce the laws restricting firearm possession that already exist. After all, was it not already illegal for a
mentally-ill person to possess a firearm?
What about felons, and yet, do not hundreds (if not thousands) of them
have a piece stuffed in their waistband at this very minute?
Yeah,
if there were no firearms to even legally possess in this country, no felon could illegally
possess one, but what nation in this world can honestly boast about their not
being any firearms in the hands of the general population within their borders? Besides, where there is a will, there is a
way…
