In both the Yates and Laney child mass murder cases a common denominator is that both were extremely religious and both had pastors who were fanatical about the dipensatioanl arminian rapture nonsense. Yates' pastor roamed the country with his family preaching arminian dispensationalism (the beast is coming) on college campuses, being at first welcome by the colleges, but then asked to leave due to his controversial tactics. Laney's pastor preached that the "anty"christ had arrived, the sunday before Laney stoned her children, preaching "you can see it by the Elizabeth Smart and Lacey Peterson cases as well as many other cases."
The arminian dispensational theology teaches that salvation is in your hands not God's, there is an age of accountability for children and if they die before reaching this age then they will go to heaven (with no scripture to support this), and that the beast and "anty"christ are coming and "indeed here already" and we must "bunker down" and wait for the rapture (again without scriptural support).
I think, before any more parents lovingly "protect their children from satan", that we need to speak out against this sensationalistic nonsense and the preachers who are preaching it. This false theology has seeped through into mainstream Christianity in America and it is literally "killing us!"
Obviously the women were mentally unstable already, but teaching people like this a distorted urgent world-ending message of catastrophic proportions in the name of "Christianity" is ridiculously ill responsible, reckless, and obviously very dangerous.
Yeahhh okkk, they have "the right" I guess to preach this nonsense, but at least Christians can begin speaking and preaching out against it.
I mean preachers bear responsibility for what they are preaching don't they? They are not above reproach, are they? Many of them are "self educated," "self-ordained," and basically unqualified to preach the gospel. But they wrap themselves around the church and scream they are unreproachable because "God sent them!" When in fact, upon a casual reading of the Word of God it appears that God is really against many of them.
I for one want to speak out against them!
I believe our salvation is in God's hands. I believe He will give faith to His elect of whom He has predestined before creation. I believe when He draws His elect to Christ that Christ accepts us as His and never loses us. In other words, I believe God is in control, not us!
I believe that the beast and "anty"christ spoken of in scripture were Rome and it's leaders. I believe that the scriptures teach the gospel and conversions are going to spread over the entire earth and even the Jews will come to Christ. This will result in great improvements over the entire earth in all fields and disciplines and nations as they convert to Christ. In other words, I believe God is in process of making the world better, and has not abandoned the earth to let satan make it worse.
I believe this is the theolgy of the bible, and it gives us great rest and an optimistic biblical worldview of the world. It also gives us encouragement to have and raise godly children to be used by God to bring the world into submission unto Christ, not to kill them to protect them from the "anty"christ!
