Newtown, CT School Shooting Caused by Lack of School Prayer!

[Faith_Machine]

I couldn't have said it better, Brother Fischer!

And my own experience echos his. When he says, "Back when I was in elementary school, we had prayer in school and we didn't need guns," he is describing exactly what my childhood was like.

My kindergarten teacher began every day by leading us in prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, and you know what? Not one of us were packing heat, and it didn't matter, because no gunman ever came into our classroom!

Jesus makes it abundantly clear that He supports your Second Amendment right to protect your home in the following verse:

Luke 11:21

21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

But He also makes it very clear that He expects there to be unceasing prayer in school and everywhere else:

1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

It is abundantly clear to me that those little children in Connecticut died because they weren't praying. I don't blame them, though. I blame their parents and the school district and the teachers. The gunman may be dead, but it's the parents, teachers, school administrators, and lawmakers who need to be brought up on charges. They're the real killers.

Amen Brother FM, a beautiful post, so close to my heart!

Fischer has a hole in one there. You pray in your home, with your kids, and nobody massacres you. You don't pray in school and you get massacred.

How many school massacres have there been outside of a school? None.

I am pleased I watched that display of Christian critical thinking skills. I hope the president sees that - it will make him think!

AMEN!

And let's not forget who is the real victim here... Jesus Christ.

I cannot imagine the discomfort to be put in the position of having to send those little faces straight to Hell for never knowing and loving Him.

Poor, sweet Jesus.

Re: Newtown, CT School Shooting Caused by Lack of School Prayer!

Those families are so fortunate to have had God work His miracles through young Adam (A Biblcal name, isn't it lovely) Lanza.
Judges 11:30-40
30 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
32 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his hands.
33 And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back.
36 And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
37 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year

Isn't it a shame Adams mother never was able to live out her dream?
2 Kings 6:28-29
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

I do hope Adam was considering this:
Exodus 21:15
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

Finally, here is a prayer for all the dead little children to think long and hard about as they are tossed into the fires of Hell:
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Hopefully, some of thier parents will get solace from being actual Christians. I know Free Market Fred will be sending a contracting company to Ct. to do discount rumpus rooms for those households with sudden extra space.

And what does our president do about this? He goes on TV and cries like a little girl, probably because he was upset that there might be one or two less Teacher's Union members in this world.

Naming your town after Isaac Newton didn't help.

Well, the real killer is really the gunman, so the gunman made've still wanted to kill even with prayers.

and most of america prays anyway(at home).

For someone who identifies as a lover of Christ, you seem to have little faith in prayer.

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Matthew 17:20

Uhm, I don't have any idea what that means. Are you from America, because you don't seem like you are, unless you're stupid I mean.

The answer is simple: More Christians carrying guns.

[Levi Jones]

Re: Newtown, CT School Shooting Caused by Lack of School Prayer!

This would never have happened if all those students were packing guns! It's this liberal nanny state that only wants to allow criminals to carry guns that is to blame here.

That and the lack of prayer and Ten Commandments being posted in schools and courthouses across America.

THOU SHALT NOT MURDER!

[Rev. Jamar D. Dodson]

Re: Newtown, CT School Shooting Caused by Lack of School Prayer!

How easily so-called "christians" forget that Jesus's unlimited and unconditional love is conveyed on the condition that He is regularly flattered with prayers. There is nothing the schools can do to stop a child from praying. They can't be charged at adults by whatever anti-God laws Obama has put in place. These kids practically mocked God by not praying.

"And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them" -- 2 Kings 2:23-24

42 children slaughtered by the Lord. And that was just for mocking a man's baldness. Jesus is actually showing alot of restraint in this case. But this nation must heed these warnings before Jesus turns up the heat.

Re: Newtown, CT School Shooting Caused by Lack of School Prayer!

Godly Pastor and Fox News contributor Mike Huckabee notes that without God in the schools students no longer have the fear of God and His righteous Judgment instilled in them. The fear of eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire would stop these things from happening.

Praise Jesus!

You are so right, Brother Levi. Think of how much better the outcome of this story would have been if the children had each had a gun and had been given target practice during recess every week.

The first child would have been hit, then the shooter taken out immediately. Many lives saved.

I hope this wakes up American to the necessity of carrying weapons at all times.
