Columbine Videos released...

[Christy4Christ]

I realize this is considered sort of old news but today with the new videos being released, I think we should take a moment to say a special prayer for the families.

My son brought something to my attention today that sort of blew my mind. First, we all know that this was a sort of martyr story for some in that some of the kids were killed after professing their faith. Apparently when they were asked if they believe, they remained firm and said yes even with the knowledge that they would be killed. I do not know for sure if it was one or two or three that this happened to, I only know it did happen.

Secondly, has anyone ever stopped to think of the irony that there were 12 students and 1 teacher who were killed?


Give that a little thought...12 students and 1 teacher...

Very sad story. I pray the families have found peace in knowing their kids are with Jesus.

PEACE IN CHRIST!!

Actually, this has been refuted. Researchers find after more interviews of witnesses, no one was singled out for religious belief.

But still, it is a sad tragedy, and we should pray for all those involved.

Really? I hadn't heard that part. The last I heard was that someone was singled out for religious beliefs...oops

That's the last I heard, too. I also got the impression, however, that people in the secular world really didn't want it to be true...

I pray for the peace of all of the survivors.

I remember when that happened . . . oh, so very sad day! I earnestly pray for their families to find peace--especially those of the two boys that did the massacre. I cannot imagine the guilt of losing your son to suicide much less knowing that he took the lives of so many others before that of his own. My heart just breaks for all involved.

I'll keep them in prayers as well. Such a tragedy.

I think they were really asked but if they would have denied the Lord I don't think it would have made any difference, they still would have been killed. I think the murderers were just trying to be funny, trying to make a mockery out what we recognize as good. But in any event, what a grace God gave them, to be able to profess that they do believe. They were given the grace to be like Jesus.

Yes, I agree...
