WBC-
I am a straight, white, male attending University at the Colorado School of Mines to study computer science and biological engineering and life sciences. I am very educated and knowledgeable about the world around me. I hate, quite similar to what I understand about your beliefs, excessive partying, where people find excuses to behave immorally. However, a few days ago, my state was struck by a tragedy that has become known as the “Aurora Shooting”. Twelve people were murdered, and many more were injured.
Days after the shooting, I had learned that, among the victims, was [full name withheld], who was known as “AJ” by his friends. AJ was attending the opening night premier of the Dark Knight Rises with his high school sweetheart (a woman), who he planned to marry. How can you justify that this is the work of god? How can you believe that such an innocent person, who stands against none of the core values that your church holds, could be “rightfully” murdered?
The shooter is a deranged murderer. I do not understand how you could possibly hold the views that you do. Why would you simply accept that the world is coming to an end instead of trying to change, and believing that mankind is inherently good and capable of changing? What GOOD are you doing in the world by spreading the message of hate and pessimism? It is people like your church members, not “god”, that inspire the evil inside of mankind and cause things like this disaster to occur.
Prove me wrong. F***ing explain to me what is going on inside of your heads. Make me understand……

Good Evening, Kolten:
You’ve gone to some great and unnecessary lengths to garner a response. Neither the expression of similarity in morals to what you perceive ours to be, nor the juvenile cursing fit were necessary. If you want the ambassadors of the King of Eternity to clarify a position we bring from His Majesty, all you need to do is articulate a question that provides us opportunity to sing His praises, and we will dance over the mountain tops to bring you a response. Although your questions are by no means original, and although we’ve substantively answered them on our websites and blogs in numerous times and ways — your asking the questions in connection with that glorious work of God of last Friday makes it ripe for answering again. Thank you for the opportunity.
The question a person who presents himself as educated should be asking is “how can you justify that the slaughter of twelve Colorado rebels is anything but a glorious work of God?” Here’s what Scripture says about it:
Amos 3:6-7 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
I trust they taught you at the Colorado School of Mines — or at some institution of learning before that — how to read the English language. Two things are plainly stated in that passage … and they don’t need interpretation. First, when an evil occurs in a city, terrifying the citizenry like a trumpet of alarm terrifies, the LORD did that thing! Second, the Lord GOD reveals His works to his servants the prophets … so they can declare His glories in it!
Aurora, Colorado experienced a great “evil” last Friday morning. That word “evil” is the Hebrew word pronounced “ra’ah”, and means “wickedness, mischief, hurt, trouble, affliction, adversity, grievous work”. You can look up the word, just like I can look up the word. No particularly advanced skill set required that a fancy “computer science and biological engineering and life sciences” student can’t figure out. God did it! More precisely — indicated by the nomination “LORD” in the text — it is the “Lord of Hosts” that did it. God, in His character of Captain of the Host, a military title, the God of War! That God did it. That God is at war with Aurora, Colorado and He showed it by sending this “evil” into that city.
It is a sad testimony to the Bible-deprived and Bible-illiterate nature of your generation that you would not know better than to declare “AJ” an “innocent person”, even while you boast of his life of fornication. There are no “innocent” persons in the human race, Kolten. If you parents had not deprived you of Bible truth, you would know that every human is conceived in the sin of Adam and therefore guilty and deserving of eternal hell fire. Furthermore, you testify against your generation that you have to make a point to distinguish AJ’s fornications with “(a woman)”. This generation of perverts are so far past any interest in leaving off your pursuit of lusts, you have to categorize them and qualify them by some stupid human-conceived rating. AJ is in hell for unrepentant fornication whether it be with a man or with a woman, Kolten.
The shooter is not “a deranged murderer”, Kolten. He is your deranged murderer! A special gift to a generation that has broken every semblance of a moral compass and swims daily in a sea of fag lies, calling it “love” and “tolerance”. You have not read the record, or you would not only understand what happened in Aurora, Colorado … but you would have eyes to see what is coming soon, according to the blessed Savior:
Luke 12:51-53 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Christ is referring to the condition of things in the days immediately preceding His return in power and glory. Your rage is against your Creator, Kolten. Your vain threats of how you will fight against He who holds your very breath in his hands, He who will shortly return with His mighty angels “in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thessalonians 1:8) is the picture of this:
Psalm 2:2-4 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
God and His servants at WBC laugh at you, Kolten. We laugh at all you smart fools, from President Obama to the janitor at the theatre where God sent the shooter last Friday. We serve the only true and living God and would not dare to anger Him by giving His glory to any creature.
I appreciate your super “legitimate” self for inquiring, though.
