“There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.”

“And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. And the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another, and every one by his neighbor : the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.”  (Isaiah 3)

 

Another School shooting. This time it was in Florida. Seventeen (17) persons were killed and fourteen (14) persons were injured and taken to the hospital.  The killer was a former student of the school. He was taken to the hospital for medical attention. These shootings seem to be the pathology of young America.

Reader, there is no fear of God or punishment with many of this nation’s children.  The children are taught evolution, natural selection, and the strong survive and the weak are lost to nature.  Psychopaths are born and sociopaths are made…The rejection of absolute right and absolute wrong, the rejection of morals and ethics, the rejection of males being males and females being females, the rejection of God and His Law all lead to this pathology.

Our nation is so lost; God and His Law doesn’t even resonate with persons and families any more.  There is no fear of God, no fear of Hell, no fear of God’s wrath. Many persons today see no reason to be.

The world looks for reasons behind these demonstrations of depravity.  What is the cause they ask. What is the problem?  Why do these things happen? Who are these persons who kill so freely? What are the motives or intents?

*Guns are the problem.   *Video games are the problem.   *Poverty is the problem.  *Poor education is the problem.   *Republicans are the problem.  *Democrats are the problem. *Parenting is the problem.  *Biology is the problem.  *Mental illness is the problem. *Bullying is the problem.  *Violence in movies is the problem.  *The glorification of killers is the problem.  *The culture of me, me, me is the problem.    *The desire for fame or notoriety is to blame.  *Poor role models are to blame.  *Drugs are the problem.  *It’s…  *It’s..    *it’s…  Etc. Etc. Etc.

There is no doubt that the above problems and blames may contribute to the violence we see regularly in our country. However, it seems, to this writer, that the above contributions are symptoms of a deeper germ. In other words the above contributions are not the cause but the effect of something else.

What is the the cause of these effects?  Reader, this might sound “old fashioned,” but the cause, the root, the germ is Sin. Sin is the cause of all the effects above.  Sine is the cause of school shootings.  You might object and say, “No, the effects are the sins.”  Reader let us qualify our terms.  The Bible speaks of sins and the Bible speaks of Sin. Sins are the effect of Sin.  Sin is the disease and sins are the symptoms.  Sin is the cause and sins are the effect.

Sin is mentioned and eyes roll and heads drop and wag.  Sin is an old fashioned idea or concept to persons in and of the world. To many evil is a concept but does not actually exist.  It isn’t evil or sin that causes these mass murders, it’s mental illness (By the way, Joyless Behar accuses Christ-ians that believe God interacts and communes with His saints is a mental illness….Reader, Christ-ian, Brother and Sister the serpent is at the door and soon it will be coiled at your bed side). This world cannot accept that the real and true problem is a spiritual problem.

In this world there is no consideration of the reality of the soul, of the spirit of man, of GOD, of an afterlife, of eternity, or eternal consequences being pinned upon todays sin and sins. This world believes this world is all there is.  Parents, government, and schools speak not of consequences of sin. They go out of their way to avoid the topic of God, sin, Heaven and Hell.  I have a memory of questioning my sixth (6th) or seventh (7th) grade  science teacher about Adam and Eve when she was teaching evolution. I remember some other kids laughing at my question….that was a long time ago and things have gotten far worse.

With the teaching of evolution, the soul and spirit of man is despised or set aside as not relevent.  This was not Darwin’s intent, he speaks of the Creator and the breathe of life in his book, “Origin of the Species.”  Those that have taken his mantle have turned his erronious ideal into science, which cancels out any thought of the soul or spirit. When young persons are inculcated (Teaching by repetitious drilling) with this soul-less and spirit-less lie they absorb it and accept it as the teacher is a proper authority figure. To further this great error, the children’s parents do not bother to attend any kind of church service with their children which could (DV) could off-set the secular and false science and the indoctrination of devils and seducing spirits.  With all this mixed together we get what we have been getting!!!!!!!

When a vacuum is created something will fill it.  In Romans 1, Paul states that mankind had turned from God, creating a vacuum, and then Paul tells us that humanity is now, “Being filled with all unrighteousness.” Paul includes murder and inventors of evil things, maliciousness, covetousness and DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN in his list of deeds that are unrighteous. Know what else Paul says regarding the filling of unrighteousness? Paul says that humanity that is filled with all unrighteousness is

“without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful : Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”  

Paul continues to describe the unrighteouness-filled vacuum of humanity with these demonstrations and manifestations of Sin….fornication, wickedness, envy-filled, contensciousness, deceit, haters of God, despiteful, PROUD, boasters….The school shooter boasted on his site about being a professional school shooter.

Readers, the world looks at the symptoms of all the violence we see and never look to the root, which is SIN.  Nothing will change in this world, their world, the Adamic world unless and until they do as the Jews did in the Old Testament and that is, Cry out to God in the spirit of REPENTANCE, turning their back upon SIN.

Reader, This is the answer…this is the only answer…this is not my answer, but the answer of God…the problem is no one is asking the right question or deducing the real cause of all the violent symptoms our counrty is seeing.

Godspeed.
