Let us pray for the victims of the New Zealand shooting
Yes, I know what you all are thinking after reading the thread title: "Did Baz drink a whole bottle of Moscato again? Why would we waste our time praying for a bunch of hellbound heathens?!?"
Well, hear me out. 1. Our prayer will be the cheapest way to express our solidarity with people who were slaughtered in an unlawful mass murder. It is true that the Bible condones mass violence when appropriate (e.g., Deuteronomy 7:2, Deuteronomy 20:13-14, 16-18, 1 Samuel 15:3) however, it also teaches us that we need to follow secular laws (e.g., Titus 3:1, Hebrews 13:17-18, 1 Peter 2:13-14). What that gunman did was contrary to the New Zealand laws (I'm going on a limb here assuming New Zealand does have some laws prohibiting shooting in mosques, otherwise, I don't think their Prime Minister would have acted as surprised as she did), therefore, an injustice has happened, therefore, our prayer is the simplest way to address and alleviate the injustice. 2. Thanks to Pastor Bathfire's excellent essay on the quantum mechanics of prayer, we know that power of prayer can be retroactive, albeit in a rather oblique way. Let's cite the appropriate passage from the aforementioned essay: Quote:
Therefore, I ask again - please do join me in a prayer for the 49 victims of the New Zealand shooting. You'll feel much better about yourself, knowing that you did everything that was necessary to address suffering of fellow human beings. :thumbsup: Quote:

Re: Let us pray for the victims of the New Zealand shooting
This is an interesting prayer request, Sister. I have been considering this event, which apparently some people consider "unfortunate", in the context of Romans 13:1-2.
Now God tells us to obey the government. But whose government? I would assume one's own - otherwise soldiers would be obliged to observe an enemy country's laws in times of war. It seems that at least one of the shooters was from Australia. Does Austrian law have anything to say about shooting people in New Zealand? I suspect not - why would they even care? Also, he had a gun licence so he was okay with the New Zealand government. Quote:

The one thing I really wonder, seriously why would muslims want to live in a town called Christchurch?

I went on vacation to New Zealand once. It's a beautiful place. I picked up a bit of the local lingo while I was there. I would just like to say: I would like to ixpress my sumpathies to the femilies of the vuctums. Es a Chrustian, I uniquvocally condimn thus unlawful ect. I hope end pray thet your grief wull lead to repintance (Sicond Corunthians 7:10) end you wull be deluvered from the clutches of Uslam unto the loving arms of Christ.
I must confess I am conflicted about the whole thing. Normally, I would capitalize on a situation like this by promoting the right to bear arms: If the victims had been armed, they could have fought off the gunman. But I'm not sure we want Muslims to bear arms. It is we who need protection from them. I think the main lesson God wants us to learn from this is that multiculturalism isn't working. It is destabilizing Western societies. It's time to stop mass immigration. However I don't think the New Zealand government will see things this way. If you live Down Under, brace yourselves for the onslaught of "anti-racist" legislation to quell free speech and bring you into submission to your Muslim overlords. #notallwhitemen |

We know that God hates people who have a lisp: Judges 12:5-6 5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; 6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand. Now, if forty two thousand Ephraimites were slain for mispronouncing a single letter in a single word, can you imagine how much God must abhor New Zealanders for mispronouncing every single vowel in every single word?!? :fear2: |

Re: Let us pray for the victims of the New Zealand shooting
As usual with the commie MSM, the fake news has devolved into finding a way to make all this the fault of Trump and the Republicans. We as True Christians™ know that we do not wish this tragedy on anyone unless they deserve it. Our desire is to see that everyone has a chance to find Jesus before they die, thus sparing them from spending an eternity in the Lake of Fire (aka Hell).
You might say that we are the true "Religion of Peace", and anyone with any common sense knows that there is something wrong with the mooselimbs when they value virgins over Jesus. The suspected killer is definitely not a Republican as the nation that he most admires is the Peoples Republic of China. In some ways you do have to admire the commie chinks as they at least are trying to find a solution to their mooselimb "problem". They have recently rounded up millions of them into "camps" to try and "educate" them to be more "peaceful". It's possible they may be able to turn them into commie drone zombies and put them into factories assembling hot air fryers that we can all buy at Walmart - but I'm not holding my breath here. Likewise, the "new" commie pope has outsourced the cathylick church in China to the commie chinks in hopes that they can do something about the homer problem, but we haven't heard much about homerism in China - which might be a good thing. In the mean time, the suspected killer is not going to be getting the Nobel Peace prize anytime soon. In order of priorities, Obama needs to have his prize revoked before any more are awarded. Quote:

Re: Let us pray for the victims of the New Zealand shooting
I’m sorry but I feel as my prayers on Muslim terrorists would be futile. Would it not be more appropriate to pray for law abiding gun owners in New Zealand?

I will pray for the victims of the New Zealand shooting for extra hot fires in Hell! Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. |
Re: Let us pray for the victims of the New Zealand shooting
Whenever these islamic terrorists massacre innocent Christians, the left always says it has "nothing to do with islam" etc and "not all muslims".
But this lone wolf killer happened to be a white supremacist, and suddenly all white supremacists are crazy mass murderers? And it's the fault of white supremacy as a whole? Only a tiny percentage of white supremacists ever use violence, most of them are just peacefully expressing their opinions and beliefs on Stormfront and voting for President Trump without hurting anyone, ever! #notallwhitesupremacists |

The Maori were definitely not the original inhabitants as recent research has uncovered. Indeed, there is some evidence to suggest that there were white Europeans there prior to them. More than likely the Maori were a bunch of socialists that banded together to steal the wealth of the white people they found there then wholesale slaughtered the peace-loving original inhabitants of New Zealand.

Prayers can be said either (i) to request God to prevent the massacre by turning back time (He can stop time, (Jos:10:12-13) so turning it back is no problem) or (ii) to bring the dead back to life. Quote:

We can be here arguing and telling each other we are infidels, that we will go to hell, but at the end of the day we are all sons of Adam, followers of Abraham alaihi salam, and believers in the Lord of the Universe. The atheists, the Jus, and Satan are all agaisnt us and they dont care if we are Muslim or True Christian they hate us for believing in God. May God guide us all and protect us from terrorists of any faith or creed |

Ultimately, the blame for this shooting rests firmly on your shoulders and those of your fellow devil-worshipping sand people infidels. |
