Read about the massacre at Virginia Tech, and just felt so angry with the murderer... it was clearly a premeditated mass-murder done in cold blood. Even serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmers do have twinges of conscience over the acts they did, but... cold, deliberate mass murders planned over months???
God, what do we do? I feel so angry... Then was thinking, how does God Himself feel about this? Think, to the best of my knowledge, He too is really angry at how the murderer planned the whole thing, and I think His heart too really burned with anger when He saw how the murderer went in, shooting systematically his victims.
Think some would have asked, "Where was God when all these murders happened? How come he never protected them?" I think that's a reasonable question... and from what I know, He did let it happen, just as He allows other evil things to happen e.g. the Holocaust... but He did promise that He will NOT let those mass murderers go scot-free, not even after they die by their own hand... that He will grant justice to their victims, 'cos He judges the living AND the dead too.
Just feel so angry... 'cos it's something that really... is horribly evil.
Hmm, to be honest, there are other factors e.g. brain damage, traumatised childhood experiences, etc, that will affect a person's state of mind. But the Bible said that God will judge justly, because He not only judges a person's deed, but the heart and intention too...
Feel so angry... especially after reading survivors' accounts of what he did... to be honest, I'm so glad that You will exercise justice for the victims in heaven... because I know You will resurrect the dead, both the righteous and the wicked... to reward or judge them accordingly.
Just recalling Abraham's angry prayer to You in Genesis 18... I just like his frank outburst so much... :)
Then Abraham approached [God] and said:
"Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
What if there are fifty righteous people in the city?
Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it?
Far be it from you to do such a thing — to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
Yeah! That expresses exactly how I feel at this moment... ha, sorry, am ranting right now, but I don't care, 'cos I know You are the Righteous Judge! :D
