Not "Christian"

PLEASE SHARE THIS on facebook or email, simply to debunk the false media broadcast that a "CHRISTIAN" caused such a horror in Norway. What this man did in Norway is categorized as a sin in the Christian Bible, therefore it makes no sense to even attempt to categorize him as a CHRISTIAN. Just as O'Reilly states in this video: "(he)..is not a Christian, that's impossible, no one believing in Jesus commits mass murder. The man might have called himself a 'Christian' on the net, but he is certainly not of that faith." Even Andreas - a CHRISTIAN NORWEGIAN - saw our city's paper (New York Times) headlines which was trying to call this man a "Christian" and with disappointment Andreas said, "Come on..." So come on people, let's debunk these false statements and snuff out this lie.

mercy, grace, justice.

My letter to Norway family:

I have been trying to post things on Facebook to let people know to pray.

Andreas is listening to Norwegian news through internet. It is very sad and frustrating that all this is happening there in Norway. (reference to: The bombing and shooting in Oslo, Norway.)

One family member in Norway posted the other day:

"Mercy: not getting what we deserve ♥ Grace: getting good things that we don`t deserve ♥ "

That crossed my mind as I prayed earlier today as I thought about grace, mercy, justice. I was pondering how such evil attacks can happen all over the world in attempt to cause fear and done with such hate. Sometimes it seems like an endless, hopeless situation when you think about how many countries and lives are affected. The thought almost crossed my mind of,

"God, how can this still continue to happen without justice?"

Then I felt God saying that,

"The people who act out in these ways, their justice is coming."

And I as I thought I realized in the smaller picture here on earth when the situations are so close, we feel there is no justice for those who do evil and only attack other people for "no reason". BUT in the BIG picture God will take his vengeance and justice. AND HIS VENGEANCE & JUSTICE is a greater punishment than the pain/evil which a human being has caused in their sin. I would not want to be on the receiving end of God's justice.... It is not up to human beings to bring God's vengeance, in Romans it says "vengeance is mine". People who take "vengeance" in God's name are - unfortunately - off their rocker, and although it's hard to not be discouraged we have to know: God's justice to them is coming. (People acting in self-protection/defense is different, from people taking "vengeance" into their own hands.)

I think it makes God very disappointed in humanity, when people are attacked, especially when the purpose is maybe to only cause fear and done with such hate. (Neither fear nor hate is of God.) To people who attack with evil purpose in their hearts, I can actually understand why God would "once upon a time" flood the entire earth. Imagine the entire world filled with those type of people.... How GRACE-FULL God is to promise not to flood the entire earth again.

I think while on this earth, I can only take complete peace in that God is Lord, and he is Righteous even when everything else seems evil. That He will comfort those who need it and without doubt one day He will bring justice to those who act unjust.

Pray for God's justice in this world. Pray for Norway. Pray even for yourself, that you will be reminded not to be put in the category of people who act in hate and fear. Pray this scripture over the world, countries/people attacked, and yourself

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
