cant beleive what i just saw on the news
earlier we were talking about all the bad things you see in this age of 24 hour news..well i was flipping through the channels, and saw a CNN report where yesterday this 11 year old boy shot this pregant woman to death. I am not surewhere it happened but now he is in the county jail facing murder charges. What is happening to our society?? There is also the story of the boy who killed his father not sure how old he was but i do know he was younger then 15..It just totally blows my mind that these things are going on? I guess if you beleive in what the Bible teaches, the book of Revalition is coming true!!!
That is so sick beyond words. Wow...
Gosh thats horrible did they say why... maybe he was an abused child.
Well, what did we expect. The bible tells us what would happen. I guess we did not take it seriously. We took God out of schools, took a parents right to parent away, took God out of the government, look what a mess that is! Well, now we are paying the piper! Makes ya wonder what the next 20 will look like.:(
Amen teko..you are so right...thank God i am a christain...thats the one plkace i can find comfort because the world just keeps getting crazier
jollyman, I have a book you might want to read. It's called "Storming Towards Armagedon, Essays in Apocalypse" by Texe Marrs, Tim Layhaye, David Breese and David A. Lewis. It might be hard to find because it's about 15 or 16 years old but I read it right after I came back to God and it sent chills down my spine. I couldn't put the book down and it's a thick book! It talks about the prophesies in Revelations, Daniel and others and those that came true and how they relate to today. It's a good book!
But you are correct. We've been seeing prophesies being fulfilled in our generation and it seems to be happening faster and faster.
The Bible does say that a child will turn against his parents and the parents against the child and that natural love will grow cold. Read this scripture and tell me this doesn't relate to this generation more than any other in history:
"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them." 2 Timothy 3:1-9

I agree. The things I have seen change in my life time is unreal. My aunt that raised me would be pretty old over 100 if living. I told my children if she could come back right now, she would think she was on Mars or someplace other than Earth.She was a young person and they were using the horse and buggy, raised in the country.Her dad was a farmer.People from back then would first have thrown out the tv, then thrown the people running the school system that removed God.There would be no naked females with the strip up the butt walking on a beach.When I came up there was a lot of respect taught and you sure did not want to come home with a note from the teacher. It is just unreal. We never locked our doors when we left home, or during the day. It was serious business when you got your butt whipped for misbehaving, so you would not care to come back for seconds. Those whippings never hurt us, it taught us. Now, the kids call the law if they don't like your tone of voice.Give me back the good ole days. I have said before, If I were God looking down at Earth, I would be crying. He has given us everything and look what we have done on this Earth.Jesus said, the world hated me and they will hate you. How true.Jesus is a word that drives people to some very bad reactions. There is a lot of power in his name after all the years that have passed.
I don`t recall who invented TV and video games but that`s where it all started in my opinion. How can schools and churches hold up against the permanent drizzle of senseless information and infiltration coming from those boxes. Generations of parents have spent decades glued to the TV and kids know nothing but virtual reality anymore. It is so easy to sprinkle some virtual violence and wicked values into their world - and suddenly some monsters come to life. I have no hope that the Bible will be strong enough to avoid doomsday for societies.
We have been living terrible times since long before we were born. War, hatred, murder and envy have always existed. Nations became powerful through war and barbarism. Nations such as Rome and Greece conquered rich countries known to the world by killing husbands and brothers and sons…
One thing I sometimes think of is, when the Bible refers to the last days as being the most terrible of human kind, is God referring to the days that came after Jesus died?

times have not been as bad as they are today crimew is running rampant world wide....the disreespect people have for each other...everything is just getting totally out of control..and as the Bible says it will happen in the blink of an eye...and i beleive it is heading that way so fast
WWI and WWII took place after the death of Jesus. What other major, defining event happened after that? I know there have been other happenings that have swayed much of how the world functions nowadays……but I get brain dead after 11:00 pm lol.
Again, one thing I sometimes think of is, when the Bible refers to the last days as being the most terrible of human kind, is God referring to the days that came after Jesus died?
I also ignore if there is a way to know if rape, suicide, killing, murder, etc are happening more nowadays, or is it that back in the day there was no television or communication means and nobody could keep record of such occurrences. I only have the Bible to support my belief that these days are worse than ever. Do we possess another source?

PK, the last days is the time right before Jesus returns for his people. This will be the time of the anti-christ and one world government. Things are supposed to get worse and worse, not just with mankind but also nature. It's already heading that way. Just look around you. Europe started it with a one currency. Just wait and watch, you'll see it happen.
Your comments were so right on. I heard/read something yesterday that I believe also contributes to how our children and adults react. There was a poll taken on who people thought of as their hero. Jesus Christ was listed as #2. If Christ was #1 in our lives the world would be alot different place to live. April, I am really impressed with your knowledge of the Bible. Thank you for sharing the name of that book. Will try to locate it. Church library may have it.
Don't be too impressed Stubby, lol, I have to look stuff up. I can't just recite stuff off the top of my head.
That's sad. Jesus is #2? You are so right. He should be #1. You know what else makes me sad? That Santa has taken over Christmas and most kids don't even realize it's the celebration of the birth of Christ. Not that I'm veering off topic here, lol. Sorry about that!
I wonder if Amazon would have the book? It's probably not in circulation anymore. I don't know. I'll have to do some checking and see if I can find it. It is good, though!

There has been no mention of child abuse or as to the reason why the child shot the woman as yet.
All I have seen or heard so far is, Jordan Brown (aged 11) was charged as an adult in the shooting death of Kenzie Marie Houk, who was eight months pregnant.
James is the son of Houk's live-in boyfriend, was charged with criminal homicide and criminal homicide of an unborn child.
The womans 4 year old daughter found her first and the other daughter who is 7 phoned the police.
Who knows why a child of 11 would do such a thing....these days anything and any so called reason is possible.....

Thank you for answering my question, I hadnt seen that news its pretty grusome a child of that age would do that, if they keep guns in the house maybe they should use those Gun lock boxes,they must have left the gun laying around .
your right about locking guns up...i was raised in western maryland which is up in the mounatins of matyland my dad hunted and taught me and my brothers to hunt...but his guns and when we got old enough our guns were under lock and key and till we got old enough we didnt touch them with out his supervision.
in todays world God only knows why an 11 yr old would do such a thing..maybe she told him to do something he didnt want too..but like one of ask about abuse so many times when something like this happens that is what has happened the child has benn abused

Jolly, respectfully, while the news stories you recounted are absolutely heinous, I would counter that these type of stories have been happening since the dawn of man. A few searches through history prove it. People will always do awful things to one another, but another always, is that they will always also do wonderful things for each other. So much more good happens every single day, than do bad things regarding people. Trouble is, the media doesn't report that stuff. If you could see it, you'd be astounded at the good one man does for another. It happens every single day.
that is true jacqui they have been happening since Cain and Able...but it is happening in to days world more and more at an alarminmg rate.. you are also right the news media wont or dont report the good that man does for one another..this 24 hour news cycle of a world we live in they justr want to report the bad news for shck value i guess..we would be alot better off if they would report the good things that happen
This is one of the very reasons I don't watch the news. That doesn't make me ignorant either btw, lol, I just spend my time watching other things than that...anyway, I know alot of people think things are happening at a more alarming rate than ever before, but I would counter by just saying, that there are more people in the world today..in fact, every day. I think that, for example and sake of the argument, let's say there are two crimes for every twenty people. Now the populace has increased to sixty people. The old-timers that were alive back when there were only twenty will see an increase in crime, but only superficially. The rate of crime itself is not necessarily increasing, rather, the populace is. Obviously, technology helps this, and I would even be willing to concede to you SLIGHTLY, lol, because of the increase in the populace, there are more people living together in cities and spaces, etc. So sometimes, where a crime might have taken 10 lives previously, it may now take 40 because of more people there, ie a bomb on a bus or public square. Either way, I think we're all horrified at all of the violence...it's a trick to manage your life in such a way as to be aware of it, yet also to not let it hinder your enjoyment of life...what a balance.
Jacqui these days acheiving that balance is a BIG trick thats for sure
Only God knows when Armageddon or Judgement Day will come. I know that's in the Bible but can't remember where. Would leaving God in the schools have prevented what happened? I don't know.
In the ghetto where I live, two young men were shot and killed and they were both from parochial schools where religion is taught. Drugs were involved so the shooting got less media coverage than a convenience store robbery.
The event Jollyman described made me wonder - are murderers, drug dealers, criminals, etc. children of God? This is a question not an attempt to put down anyone's religious beliefs.

I was actually watching this story yesterday, it said he shot her execution style, she was days away from delivering the baby and he did it because he was jealous. His dad was married to the women and she was pregnant with his dad's child. His dad apparantly paid more attention to the new wife than his son.. so sad.
From what I read, family members of the slain woman said he had threatened her before and he placed a blanket over the end of the rifle before he shot her. It was definitely premeditated. They are trying him as an adult because in PA where he lives there is no way to charge a minor with premeditated murder in the juvenile court system. They will have to keep him away from the general population. So scary to think of a child doing something like this, but yes, the bible states these things will happen in the last days! But, it's so sad!
Teko: Very well said, as usual!
So sad,
Janet

helpinutah- I heard that about the jail thing too. I also heard that he's facing life in prison.. Life in prison is a LOOOONNNG time for an 11 year old, Imagine how crazy that's going to make him.
and I also heard the thing about keeping him away from general population, he will have to shower alone and stuff. I can't believe a child that young could even think of something like that.
