First Baptist Church
Sutherland Springs
Texas, USA
A 26-year-old gunman entered the church and killed 26 people whose ages ranged from 18 months to 77 years. Another twenty people were seriously wounded.
And then there was the callous atheist who pointed out that Christians are always praying to go to heaven when they die, and therefore: When those saints of First Baptist Church were murdered yesterday, God wasn’t ignoring their prayers. He was answering them.
Oh, wait a minute...
It wasn't an atheist who said those horrible things; it was a dear sweet Christian! A Lutheran pastor name Hans Fiene who preaches his nonsense in the State of Illinois. Here are the low-lights as they appeared in his article on The Federalist website the day after the murders:
When those saints of First Baptist Church were murdered yesterday, God wasn’t ignoring their prayers. He was answering them.
When a madman with a rifle sought to persecute the faithful at First Baptist Church on Sunday morning, he failed. Just like those who put Christ to death, and just like those who have brought violence to believers in every generation, this man only succeeded in being the means through which God delivered his children from this evil world into an eternity of righteousness and peace.
Although the murderer filled their eyes with terror, God has now filled them with his glory. Although he persecuted them with violence, God seized that violence and has now used it to deliver his faithful into a kingdom of peace. Although this madman brought death to so many, God has used that death to give them the eternal life won for them in the blood of Jesus.
He's not backing down either. People have been ridiculing his attitude and this is how he is responding on his twitter account:
