<p>David,</p>
<p>I was just reading the new posts and of course I had to re read yours after Charles post. I have a great memory, it's just short and getting shorter.</p>
<p>I thought popped into my head. Can you imagine the response we would get if we told someone who was obviously lying," You are no better that the Boston Bomber". We would never say that, but your right, sin is sin. I would imagine the response would be just short of fisticuffs.</p>

<p>I wish Pastors would preach more on sin. Our's does at times, but usually not in your face kind of sermon. I would think a sermon on sin and that all of us are as guilty as the bombers would be a humbling experience.</p>
<p>Blessings my friends. It's gunna be 70 degrees today and sunny in Wisconsin so off to church and then a day in the sun.</p>

Some children mature faster than others and even younger than 8 year old children have reached an age of accountability. But I guess we can only speculate. He was a believer. That's as much of his life's testimony that I'm aware of based on news stories.

<p>I agree that we should be praying for this young man, because he does have a soul. I think sometimes people forget that we all did bad things,and everyone needs redemption.God has a purpose for his life, and I think God wants us to pray for him. For after all God does not want anyone to perish.As the word of God says in 2 Peter 3: 9- The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think.

<p>I would only like to add that the Lord mightily convicted me of what you are speaking of when He answered Peter's question of 'how many times must we forgive, seven times'( obviously not an exact quote but you know what I am refering to.) When Jesus answered him "not seven but seventy times seven) He brought much conviction on me and my 'right' to bear a grudge. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Lord was showing me that in light of His grace I have no 'right ' to EVER not forgive someone. It was like the Lord saying to me "How dare you ever even think of not forgiving after what I have forgiven you for!!"</p>
<p>That was a time when the Lord showed me no quarter (as well He should not have). I was having a struggle in not forgiving and He brought a very abrupt end to my self righteous pity party and I will praise His name forever for His mercy and grace for this revelation.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about the martyr question. I wonder just how much an eight year old really understands. I would think if he truly has an understanding then yes.</p>
<p>Talks as to being better prepared are always in the works. The problem is funding. As we continue to cut back on Gov't spending so it goes on preparedness. Money doesn't cure everything, but in an age where people are less likely to lend a hand or step up, you need to rely on paid responders more and more. </p>

<p>Attacks to increase. Yes. The muslim brotherhood in the United States in alive and well. I would suspect attacks to increase over the coming years.</p>
<p>Religious persecution? I don't know. Maybe. I guess I see these attacks as just pure evil. What I do see though, is every time we see an act of terrorism or evil we do lose some of our freedoms. The freedoms we have are God given, but men are always wanting to remove them and will use security as the excuse. As we lose our freedom to security concerns we also lose are freedom to worship. How? By people lumping all religions together and therefor looking at Christianity the same as islam.</p>
<p>There are many who think that Christians are as radical as muslims.</p>
<p>So now that I look at it......persecution...yes.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">What that statement reveals is that the person saying it has not realized how horrendous their sin is before our God. We look at the obvious sins, such as, drunkenness, adultery, rape, murder, as sins deserving of hell, and of course they are, but since many measure their "goodness" / "righteousness" by comparing themselves to others, we find reason to think and state such things. Selfishness, arrogance, vanity, self- righteousness, pride, are just as horrendous.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Our standard is God. He is perfect and compare to his holiness and perfection, even our “good works” are like filthy rags. He knows the intent and motive of the heart. In a fallen or redeemed state, even our “good works” which are not of a pure heart seeking to honor and bring God glory are like filthy rags.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">So much grace has been given to us, so we can have plenty to give. May our Lord change the heart of that young man.</span></p>

I am wondering that, since martyr is defined as somebody who suffers persecution and death for refusing to renounce, or accept, a belief or cause, usually religious, then would the eight year old child killed in Boston, who was being raised as a Christian who advocated for peace and no more hurting of people, be a Christian martyr?<br/>

Also, Gary, in your profession are there current talks of how first responders can better prepare for this type of attack? Do you see that the possibility for such attacks to increase is very possible? I don't see how we can categorize such attacks as anything less than religious persecution. In that case to call these attacks as God's judgments on unbelievers is very mistaken since the attacks are coming from those who reject Christ.
