MS: Transgender shooter in Tennessee shows that professing Christians are not safe


COGwriter

There is more violence in the USA as a 28 year old female who wanted to be identified as he/him shot and killed people at a Protestant school in Tennessee:

Nashville school shooting was apparently a targeted attack, police say

March 28, 2023

A shooter opened fire at a private Christian grade school in Nashville Monday, killing three children and three adults, officials said. The shooter was fatally shot by police at The Covenant School in the city’s affluent Green Hills neighborhood, authorities said.

Nashville Police Chief John Drake said the preliminary investigation indicated the shooting was targeted.

“We have a manifesto, we have some writings that we’re going over that pertain to this date, the actual incident,” he told reporters. “We have a map drawn out of how this was all going to take place.”

The probe suggested that the shooter was a student at the school, though Drake didn’t know when.

He told NBS News detectives believe the shooter had “some resentment for having to go to that school.” …

Female mass-shooter at Nashville Christian school reportedly identified as ‘he/him’

6 people dead, including three 9-year-old children

Audrey Hale, the 28-year-old biological female who allegedly shot three children and three adults to death Monday at a Nashville Christian elementary school where she was was once a student, reportedly identified as “he/him” on social media, according to online citizen journalists.

Nashville police later revealed that Hale, who was gunned down by police, identified as “transgender.” …

Fox News reported, “The shooter was identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a Nashville resident, who identified as transgender. Investigators were investigating a home connected to her. Nashville police Chief John Drake said Hale possibly prepared for the shooting.” Hale was shot dead by police.

Fox reported that Drake said Hale had written a manifesto and possibly prepared for the shooting. Just the News reported that Nashville police are “investigating whether Hale’s transgender identity played into the shooting plot.” 03/27/23 https://www.wnd.com/2023/03/female-mass-shooter-nashville-christian-school-reportedly-identified/

Another terrible shooting.

After the Parkland school shooting in 2018, there were several ‘solutions’ proposed to stop future shootings. Related to many of them, the Continuing Church of God produced the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel titled: High School Shootings: 7 Failed Solutions.

Shootings have continued.

The problem is moral decline and lack of proper fear of God.

This has impacted pretty much all of American society.

The Bible shows that God is against violence and that destruction will come because of it:

23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality…30…violent, proud, boasters,…31…unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:28-32)

8 … And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. ( Habakkuk 2:8)

Consider also the following prophecy for the last days:

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, (2 Timothy 3:1-4).

We are in “the last days.” We are in what Jesus referred to in Matthew 24:4-8 as the “beginning of sorrows.”

The USA is decaying from within as it more and more moves away from biblical values. As far as some national and other values go, a reader sent me a link to the Wall Street Journal with the following:

America Pulls Back From Values That Once Defined It, WSJ-NORC Poll Finds

Patriotism, religion and hard work hold less importance

March 27, 2023

Patriotism, religious faith, having children and other priorities that helped define the national character for generations are receding in importance to Americans, a new Wall Street Journal-NORC poll finds.

The survey, conducted with NORC at the University of Chicago, a nonpartisan research organization, also finds the country sharply divided by political party over social trends such as the push for racial diversity in businesses and the use of gender-neutral pronouns.

Some 38% of respondents said patriotism was very important to them, and 39% said religion was very important. That was down sharply from when the Journal first asked the question in 1998, when 70% deemed patriotism to be very important, and 62% said so of religion. …

Three quarters of Republicans said society had gone too far in accepting people who are transgender, while 56% of Democrats said society hadn’t gone far enough. …

Half of people in the survey said they didn’t like the practice of being asked to use gender-neutral pronouns, such as “they’’ or “them,’’ when addressing another person, compared with 18% who viewed it favorably. Some 30% of respondents under age 35 viewed the practice favorably, compared with 9% of seniors.

The Journal-NORC survey polled 1,019 people from March 1-13, mostly online. https://www.wsj.com/articles/americans-pull-back-from-values-that-once-defined-u-s-wsj-norc-poll-finds-df8534cd?mod=djemalertNEWS

Notice also:

America’s ruling elites drool over Marxist ideologies, our border is purposely left wide open so millions of illegals can invade our country, our elections are rigged, and our government promotes maniacally deranged policies on every front while busily turning citizens against each other. They prosecute conservative Christians as criminals and terrorists, while excusing and encouraging actual crime and terrorism. They sexualize, corrupt and brainwash our precious children with toxic ideologies and groom them into undergoing double mastectomies and castration in a desperate and impossible effort to “change genders.” …

As a direct result of all this, suicide and depression have skyrocketed in the U.S.A. and – believe it or not – a staggering 130 million Americans have come to depend on mind-altering substances just to get through life. 03/27/23 https://www.wnd.com/2023/03/new-snapping-american-mind-illuminates-orwellian-takeover-u-s/

Why?

Well much of the above can be explained by the fact “they did not like to retain God in their knowledge” (Romans 1:28).

The same reader who sent the Wall Street Journal link, also sent me a link to the following written by Michael Snyder:

Every Christian in America Is a Target Now

March 28, 2023

This is what happens when you systematically suck all of the values out of a society.  There is utter lawlessness in the streets, and violence can literally erupt anywhere.  On Monday, a mass shooter ruthlessly gunned down six Christians at a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee.

The shooter once attended the school, but after leaving the school the shooter developed a deep hatred for the Christian values promoted there.  Unfortunately, this incident is a microcosm of what is going on in our society as a whole.  Countless voices are stirring up great hatred for the Christian faith, and all of that hate was inevitably going to result in great violence.

When I was growing up, I never imagined that someone would come in to a Christian gathering and start shooting. But now every Christian in America is a potential target.

If you are a Christian, you will need to be on guard whenever you attend any type of a Christian event from this point forward. I wish that this wasn’t true, but ignoring the reality of the world that we live in now could get you killed. …

Nashville police chief confirms Audrey Hale identifies as transgender, suggests her trans identify motivated the killings

The corporate media is always trying to convince us that political violence from the right is such a threat, but the numbers tell us that political violence is far, far more likely to come from the left.  …

People often wonder why I talk about “values” so much. This is why. Our country is decaying from within, and most people don’t seem to care. https://discernreport.com/every-christian-in-america-is-a-target-now/

As far as persecution of real Christians, that will soon get worse according to scriptures (e.g. Daniel 11:30-36; see also Persecutions by Church and State).

A worse time of ‘tribulation‘ is coming (Matthew 24;21-22) and is getting closer.

But, ultimately, there will be good news. Jesus will return and the millennial Kingdom of God will be established, and violent crime will be stopped.

The families of those affected by this shooting are in my prayers.
