I actually thought the whole "multi-religious" thing, although seemingly appropriate on a public campus, defeated any real comfort or salvation that could've come out of it. Hopefully, some were still truly saved.<BR/><BR/>I personally don't even know if I think a Christian clergyman should participate in that type of thing. No one wants to be confrontational in such a tragic situation, and therefore the appearance is given that Christians are content to equate Christianity with the other religions of the world. One must avoid that. Try to squeeze in "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" or something with Psalm 23 and the like.Kingdom Advancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599920276578327720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34421675.post-55960592390029341412007-05-07T21:03:00.000-04:002007-05-07T21:03:00.000-04:00Silly me, I forgot the actual comment!

I also am officially a member of Austin's "Beginnings..." but that blog is almost dead it appears (the last post was mine in January about the Dakota Fanning movie). <BR/>Everything else I do on the blogosphere basically consists of commenting on other people's blogs. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, even on my main blog, posts are being made less frequently than they used to be.

I was ...Thank you for this post, Kingdom Advancer. I was hoping to find an essay on one or more Christian blogs countering what that murderer said.<BR/><BR/>People who do not know Christ as Savior often have the habit of using the name of Jesus Christ as a swear word. Cho made the choice to go even further with his blasphemy...claiming that he "died" like Jesus did.<BR/><BR/>Your excellent, biblical analysis exposes Cho's ignorant and false claim.<BR/><BR/>This reminds me of when Jesus stood before Pilot and Pilot asked, "What is truth?" Jesus didn't answer him. How ironic it was that Truth was standing right in front of him and Pilot missed seeing, seeking and thus knowing the Truth. Jesus' forgiveness, mercy and saving grace was available to him; yet he (Pilot) chose to ignore this fact.<BR/><BR/>Pilot was a leader in the Roman empire. He experienced all the pride, recognition, wealth, attention, and fulfillment of fleshly desires that a person of "privilege" could have. Yet, we know that he missed the huge significance of the most important Person to ever walk the earth.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, a simple thief on the cross next to Jesus came to his senses, realized that he was condemned already because of his sinful deeds, and simply asked Jesus to "remember him when He enters His Kingdom." That simple act of repentance, belief, and faith in Jesus while he was suffering and sprawled out on a cross next to our Lord allowed him entrance into Jesus' Kingdom. Jesus responded, "This day, you will be with me in paradise."<BR/><BR/>Cho, unfortunately, was similar to the other thief on the cross next to Jesus. That thief mocked our Lord and disparaged Him for not "saving Himself and us too" from the cross. Little did that thief know that Jesus could have called down legions of angels to "save" Him from dying on the cross that day. But if He did, Jesus would have returned to heaven, alone and we would not have the hope of heaven through our Savior.<BR/><BR/>Not knowing God's Word can cause anyone to miss the real purpose of, <I>and in</I>, this life. We are each like those two theives on the crosses next to Jesus. We can either confess and repent of our sins, and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, or, like the mocker (and Cho), go to our physical deaths with our own sins upon our own souls. This results in spiritual death; being separated from our God, our Creator, for all eternity. That's a long time...<BR/><BR/>I pray that this terrible tragedy makes people sit up and take notice that our only hope is in Jesus Christ. We each need to answer his question, "Who do you say that I am?"<BR/><BR/>Pilot, the second thief on the cross next to Jesus, Cho, and millions of people who have already died ignoring the salvation offered through Christ each got the answer to that question wrong. Dear readers, don't be one of them.Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.com
