Bad Theology of a Killer: George Sodini

-

From George Sodini's Notes


Current Event


Warning language and some violent and random thoughts. I saw this on a news outlet and read and what was curious to me wasn't so much the hatred and anger but the Christian influence and bad theology he got.

Thoughts like:

1. Religion is a waste.

2. Committing Mass Murder is ok, and you still can goto heaven.

3. Mentions a Certain Church.

4. Talks about the hyprocrites he sees.

5. "Religion has a certain stink to it of guilt, shame, fear, and that moral standard that always contradicts the natural tendencies and desires of a person. Therin lies the conflict" WOW - alot in that. Reminds me of the Apostle Paul's sinful nature versus that of the Spirit.

6. What is it like to be Dead? Seems to want to know about death.

7. Thinks Sex is a solution.

8. Picked on in High School.

9. "I can just start being self-righteous and say I live a good, clean life"

10. "Maybe soon, I will see God and Jesus. At least that is what I was told. Eternal life does NOT depend on works. If it did, we will all be in hell. Christ paid for EVERY sin, so how can I or you be judged BY GOD for a sin when the penalty was ALREADY paid. People judge but that does not matter. I was reading the Bible and The Integrity of God beginning yesterday, because soon I will see them."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above concern me. As a Church leader; as a husband, father, and most important as a Christian.

Hindsight is 20-20. I think we should pray for ALL the families here. Those who lost their lives and the SAD situation. It seems to me that someone, anyone could of set, been the EXAMPLE of a Christian to George.

Helped him with a Healthy Biblical view of

1. Women.

2. Sex.

3. Sin

4. Christians.

5. Grace and Forgiveness.

6. Responsibility for one's actions.

7. Death. It is our enemy.

8. Role model. Imagine if some mentor, youth worker would of spoke into his life in High school?

9. Being self-righteous doesn't earn your way into heaven.

So much here as a Current Event to use for Small Groups etc.

I Hate David Crowder

I hate David Crowder. Okay,maybe hate is such a strong word, maybe its dislike. I have nothing against David Crowder himself; just that so many in the worship ministry aspect want to attempt to be well like David Crowder or the next Matt Redman or Chris Tomlin of worship ministry. Don't be like David. (Or even like Mike for that matter). What God is doing through DCB is great. But be who you are, and God created you to be. Isn’t worship a daily thing? Isn’t worship about a lifestyle of living and breathing? I’m seeing more Church Worship teams, both youth and adult, trying to impersonate David Crowder. Please … there are only so many songs that can be sung like David Crowder. Sometimes it saddens me to see Lead Worshippers in churches trying to sing, act, and even look like Crowder. Follow Jesus, not David Crowder. I think that's the way David would liked it. Pointing all things to God's Glory that we may Love God through all of our actions both in songs and in deeds/ We d

My Search for the Black Rock Hotel.

I'm fascinated by History. From my office I am at the foothills of South Mountain and can view Black Rock. (I want to take a picture the opposite way from there to my office - how cool would that be?) In talking to some church members, they gave me some history. One is a man whose father, built a log cabin from the lumber of South Mountain. He generously gave me these two pictures to scan. (I haven't found any others online and just some scarce history about the ole Black Rock Hotel) "Black Rock is located just over the crest of the Mountain, over looking Washington County and Hagerstown to the west. About 20 years after Reason’s return visit to Wolfsville the Black Rock Road was built across the mountain toward Hagerstown, passing to the northside of Black Rock. This was in 1876 while Wolfsville’sDaniel Biser was a County Commissioner.About four years later Jacob Drill Wolfe built a hotel at Black Rock Spring. Both this hotel andthe second “Black Rock House” built a

Just a line to say I'm Living.

Just a line to say I'm living, Just a line to say I'm living, That I'm not among the dead. Though I'm getting more forgetful, ... And mixed up in my head. I've got used to my arthritis, To my dentures I'm resigned. I can manage my bifocals, But, oh my!! I miss my mind. For sometimes I can't remember When I stand at the foot of the stairs, If I must go up for something Or, I've just come down from there. And before the refrigerator so often, My poor mind is filled with doubt. Have I just put food away, or Have I come to take some out? And there's times when it is dark, With my nightcap on my head. I don't know if I'm retiring, Or just got out of bed. (Wes Bush, "Just a line to Say I'm Living) Found in the book: Holmon Old Testament Commentary Joshua. General Editors: Maz Anders. Author: Kenneth O. Gangel. B&H Publishing 2002 pg. 302 Saw this poem as I'm getting ready to finish up my series on Joshua
