Well, durnitall anyway! I can't pop in here much so what that does is leave me a very frustrated thinker and writer as I sit and ponder y'all's takes on this case! Shoot, I'm just here with my jaw dropped down on the desk at so much to reply to and I simply can't git r dun and I'm left nearly speechless.
All that being said, I have been a Christian for many, many years. 58 yrs young, female, and I am the senior pastor's assistant at a very large Bible believing/teaching church where I've been a member for almost 30 years and worked almost 20. It grieves me beyond measure that this has involved churces/ministries and so on. But Jesus didn't have to die if we humans weren't born into sin. I never have to wonder why and how peeps do the things they do because God's word tells me why. 2 Cor. 11:14 says that "even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light" so I don't have to wonder why no one got "vibes" off CC. I think CC has deep anger about his whole religious upbringing and teaching, deep anger at JM and yet needed the job and would've gotten great pleasure in this crime's success - had it turned out that way. Fortunately, his ego and belief in himself was much larger than it should've been! Straight up STUPID! And also, the Holy Spirit may not warn us about every bad thing that comes along and we'll be taken by surprise at evil - BUT our God will not be mocked. I am not a religious fanatic, if some of you may see me as that, but I do love and serve Jesus Christ, as I know some of you here do also. I'm also a mouthy ol hussy! And I just want y'all, straight outta the shoot, to know where I'm coming from in this.
