“Bloodshed toucheth bloodshed"
GOD'S WORD and the VA TECH MASSACRE (Hosea 4:2 and Hosea 4:6)
By Steve Lefemine
April 18, 2007
Blacksburg, Virginia - On Monday morning April 16, 2007, a 23-year-old male student armed with two pistols and multiple clips of ammunition, murdered at least 30 people locked inside a Virginia Tech academic building, before taking his own life. The VA Tech senior is also suspected of killing two other students earlier in a coed dormitory building, for a total of 33 dead in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. The mass on-campus killings are immediately, eerily, sadly, and tragically reminiscent of the Columbine High shootings on April 20, 1999, which killed 15, including the two teen male student shooters.
What is the cause ? What is the solution ? Why the violence in schools across America ? President George Bush said on Monday, "Schools should be places of safety and sanctuary and learning. When that sanctuary is violated, the impact is felt in every American classroom and every American community." What about the violation of the "safety" and "sanctuary" of a mother's womb by abortion, and that impact, Mr. Bush ? Over 47 Million have been murdered by surgical abortion alone in America since 1973 ! (http://www.ldi.org/). At VA Tech's polytheistic ecumenical convocation Tuesday, President Bush said, "It's impossible to make sense of such violence and suffering." Wrong, Mr. Bush. If you will search the Scriptures you referred to in your remarks at VA Tech, perhaps you will see God's commandment of obedience to Him, for a nation to enjoy peace and security (e.g., Lev. 26:5,6).
ABORTION, which is violence against children while in the wombs of their mothers, is the root cause of the violence that we see coming out of this generation of youth. The Bible says, “Bloodshed toucheth bloodshed" (Hosea 4:2), or bloodshed follows bloodshed. Innocent bloodshed in the womb is being followed by innocent bloodshed around our nation. The 33 killed Monday at VA Tech is 1/100th of the estimated 3300 murdered daily by surgical abortion alone on American soil in America's approx. 740 child-murder-by-abortion domestic terror centers (www.ldi.org).
There are spiritual principles of corporate bloodguilt and blood recompensation revealed in the Bible which apply when innocent blood is shed upon a land, as in the case today of government-protected child-murder-in-the-womb.We adults should not be surprised that a generation of youth is resorting to violent murder to resolve their problems with others, even when it ends in the taking of their own lives. The Bible says that God is not mocked, that we reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7). For the last 34-plus years, we have sown violence into the next generation by murdering children in the womb. God spoke through His servant the prophet Hosea over 2700 years ago, to the people of Israel:
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,
I will also reject thee,... seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget
thy children." Hosea 4:6, KJB
It is time for the adults of America to repent. We have sinned grievously and wickedly against the next generation. We have killed one-third of the post-Roe generation by surgical abortion alone, and probably two to three times that number chemically with abortifacient birth control, e.g., birth control pills, Depo-Provera, Norplant, IUD, etc. We have taught the next generation that it is OK to fornicate, and if necessary, it is OK to "choose" to kill those pre-birth human beings in the womb who are unwanted. Now (e.g., Columbine, VA Tech) we are reaping the bad fruit of what we have sown. We have sown VIOLENCE in the womb (abortion), and now we are reaping VIOLENCE in schools, on the streets, in homes, and around the nation. These shootings are a sign and a judgment from God Himself.
Virginia delegate George Mason said in the 1787 Constitutional Convention, "By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes nation sins by national calamities." Child-murder-by-abortion is a national sin. Columbine, 9-11, Katrina, and VA Tech have all been national calamities. More and greater divine judgment is coming upon America, even destruction, unless we repent of the national sin of abortion.
REPENT AMERICA !

OPERATION SAVE AMERICA - WHY KIDS ARE KILLING KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL
This morning another horrific shooting has taken place at one of our high schools. At Santana High School in Santee, California, there are two confirmed dead and thirteen wounded. The shooter is a fellow classmate at Santana High. Operation Save America Director, Rev. Flip Benham has made the following statement:
Blood is coursing down the corridors of a high school in Littleton, Colorado and the blood shed in those hallways is on our hands. We have no one to blame but ourselves. In high schools across this country (Edinboro, Pennsylvania; Pearl, Mississippi; West Peducah, Kentucky; Jonesboro, Arkansas; Eugene, Oregon), it has become increasingly obvious that government schools have become the very gates of hell. Violence of every sort is overwhelming our public schools in spite of the vehement protestations of school officials and the Department of Education. These people have refused to face reality for years.
Why has the public school become, apart from the local abortion mill, the most dangerous place for a young person to be? Why are our kids, who have been given everything money can buy, killing their friends in school? Why have our schools become veritable jungles where "survival of the fittest" has become a reality?
The answer is simple. Violence was done in the hearts of our children long before it murderously manifested itself in the hallways of our schools.
God was violently expelled from school by a Supreme Court decision in 1962 (Engle vs. Vitale). He was banished from the schoolyard and His Commandments removed from the school wall in two other Supreme Court decisions (Abbington vs. Schemp, 1963 and Stone vs. Graham 1977). He has been replaced with police guards, metal detectors, drugs, condoms, gangs, assault, rape, murder and violence of unprecedented order.
We have violently robbed our children of purpose and destiny by allowing God to be removed from their education. Gen. 6:11-13 tells us that violence filled the earth because the people God created chose to remove Him from their minds and hearts. When God is removed, violence always fills the void.
We fathers have violently removed God from our children by abdicating our responsibility to live Godly lives before them. Mothers have violently removed God from our children by denying them divine maternal love and dropping them off at day care centers. We have all done violence to our children by allowing the smallest and weakest to be slaughtered at abortion mills. Government schools have done violence to our children by removing the knowledge of God from them.
"Do not be deceived America! God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." That's what the Bible says! We in America have sown violence into the hearts of our kids, and we are reaping a whirlwind of violence in our schools. We have removed every vestige of the knowledge of God from our children and should not be surprised at the manifestations of senseless brutality and violence that replaced Him.
We are today raising a nation of predators! We have kids who don't give a rip about God, their neighbor, or themselves. They will rob, kill and destroy simply to get what they want when they want it. We are raising kids without a conscience who kill at a whim. Then we look at each other with awkward amazement and wonder what in the world happened. We have purposely removed God from the hearts and minds of our children and are suffering the horrible consequences of our foolish arrogance.
To restore peace in the classroom, we must first corporately and publicly repent of our sin – the removal of God from the lives of our kids. We must acknowledge the fact that we are not smarter than He is, and invite Him back - Ten Commandments and all! We must bring God back to school! He promises to return if we will humble ourselves and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14).
What will it be, America? Another godless million-dollar program sponsored by the Department of Education that will never touch the cancer of violence destroying our kids? Or, will we have the courage to call on the Great Physician Himself, and ask Him to perform the surgery that will completely remove the cancer forever!

Could Greater Gun Rights Have Limited Virginia Shooting?

Could Greater Gun Rights Have Limited Virginia Shooting?
By Nathan Burchfiel
CNSNews.com Staff WriterApril 18, 2007(CNSNews.com) - As students and faculty at Virginia Tech continue to grapple with the aftermath of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, some are wondering whether broader gun rights could have helped protect the campus.
Cho Seung-hui, a 23-year-old Virginia Tech student, killed 32 people and himself in a shooting spree Monday on the Blacksburg, Va., campus. Cho used two legally purchased handguns to carry out the attack, according to authorities.In spite of Virginia's simple process for obtaining a permit to carry a concealed firearm and the commonwealth's tolerance for open-carry of firearms, Virginia Tech forbids "unauthorized possession, storage or control of firearms and weapons on university property."
The policy was criticized in the wake of an earlier shooting incident on the campus -- on Aug. 21, 2006, the first day of class. William Morva, an inmate who had escaped from a local hospital, made his way to the campus, where he killed a sheriff's deputy before being apprehended.

Montana Joins Idaho in Asking Congress to Block the North American Union by Withdrawing the U.S. from the Security and Prosperity Partnership
Montana Joins Idaho in Asking Congress to Block the North American Union by Withdrawing the U.S. from the Security and Prosperity Partnership
Today the Montana Senate passed, by a vote of 32 to 18, H.J.R. 25, a resolution urging "the President and the Congress of the United States to withdraw the United States from any further participation in the Security and Prosperity Partnership, any efforts to implement a trinational political, governmental entity among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, or any other efforts used to accomplish any form of a North American Union." The resolution also urged "the President and the Congress of the United States not to engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement Superhighway System."
Since the Montana House had already adopted H.J.R. 25 by a vote of 94 to 5, today's Senate vote means that Montana is the second state to pass an anti-NAU resolution in both houses. On March 22 Idaho was the first state to do this. Earlier this year the Utah House had also passed an anti-NAU resolution.
Congratulations to the members of The John Birch Society in Montana for making passage of the anti-NAU resolution possible.
At least 14 other states have already introduced resolutions against the North American Union/Security and Prosperity Partnership. Click here for more information about the campaign to block the North American Union, including a copy of a model NAU resolution for state legislatures.

Why You Should Own a Gun
Written by Alan Caruba
Tuesday, 17 April 2007
The murders on the Virginia Tech campus, the worst such rampage in our history, might have been mitigated if just one member of the faculty or a student had the means to return fire.
I have owned guns for decades. On rare occasions, I have had to "show" one of my guns to people with bad intentions. Not surprisingly, they changed their plans to take my money and do me some harm. The Virginia Tech murders confirm the value of empowering ordinary citizens to carry a concealed weapon.
On March 9 I learned of a ruling in the case of Parker v. District of Columbia in which Senior Judge Lawrence H. Silberman wrote an opinion, with Judge Thomas B. Griffith concurring, that restored the Second Amendment to the citizens of the District and, by extension, to every citizen of these United States. Not since 1976, had residents of the District had the right to defend themselves with force of arms.
Judge Silberman wrote, "In sum, the phrase 'the right of the people', when read intratextually and in light of Supreme Court precedent, leads us to conclude that the right in question is individual."
As Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, noted succinctly, "The right of self-preservation was understood as the right to defend oneself against attacks by lawless individuals, or, if absolutely necessary, to resist and throw off a tyrannical government."
Christians Reviving America's Values (CRAVE) Who We Are
Written by Don Swarthout
Monday, 16 April 2007
WASHINGTON, April 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- Christians Reviving America's ValuEs is a national organization also known by the name CRAVE, because we CRAVE revival in our churches and the restoration of Godly principles in America.
Every year we write more than 1,000,000 letters to Christians in America. We want to educate them about the War on Christianity. We tell them about the role played by Christianity, The Ten Commandments and morality of our Founding Fathers in establishing our great nation. We remind people that honesty, integrity, moral character and our national freedoms are still important in America today.
The President of CRAVE, Don Swarthout, attended the United States Supreme Court hearings on the public display of the Ten Commandments. CRAVE is also involved in Exposing the ACLU and requested a Congressional Investigation into their activities. We are also very concerned about the lack of truthfulness of American prosecutors in the trials like the Duke Rape Case and the trials of Border Patrol Agents Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos.
Too many Christians today don't think we should be involved in politics, but we should involve our Christianity in absolutely everything in our lives.
April is Child Abuse Awareness Month.
Written by Robert Littlejohn
Monday, 16 April 2007
April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. We all have read stories about all kinds of child abuse that would make the very hairs on our head curl. We abhor all forms of extreme punishment and deviant behavior toward children of all races. We even keep our children away from those who are convicted sex offenders. These actions are right, and we should not shy away from them in the name of "protecting our children." Even those who are child sex offenders will themselves say that they will commit such acts again if they are not castrated.
Yes, there is true child abuse, and we should not excuse it; but there is another story that gets lost in the shuffle - A STORY THAT THE CHILD PROTECTION AGENCIES OF THIS COUNTRY DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT! It is so important for you to know this that it may change your mind about how we go about identifying who is a true child abuser and who is not! It will make the difference between keeping families together and splitting them apart - FOREVER! I AM SPEAKING ABOUT FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT! It is documented by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that 75% of the cases reported to the Child Protection Agency ARE FALSE. That means that approximately 3/4ths of the cases are falsely reported. There are reasons for this, and it stems from the Child Protection Agency receiving $100,000 in federal funds for each new child brought into the system. In an effort to keep the money flowing in each year, they must show to the U.S. Government that they are following up on ongoing cases - NO CASES, NO MONEY! IF THE CASE IS DETERMINED TO BE UNFOUNDED, THE CASE IS ENDED - AND SO IS THE FEDERAL MONEY!
Why are these children dying?
Written by Suncana Sesic
Saturday, 14 April 2007
They are the stories no one wants to hear -- children, abused and neglected, some to the point of death. Many of them must leave their families to go into shelters or foster care. Often these children leave their homes with only a garbage bag to hold their clothes and favorite toys, the most are routinely tossed from one temporary placement to another, often ten or twenty times during their most formative, vulnerable years. This is the continuing saga of crimes against Foster children. Children are dying, inside and out...
This page is in memory of children who died of neglect or abuse while under the care of the social service agencies!
Many died suspiciously or from neglect. Most of their lives and deaths went unnoticed, until now. But you likely never heard of them. The deaths of these children -- and what government agencies did or didn't do to save their lives -- Even when they die, their stories are rarely told. Those Children Were Failed by the System !
Please, don't wait for new name on this page.
