Teddy12B;
can you show me reliable news reports (besides some left-wingnut hack) that says the shooter was a "pro-lifer"? Last I heard, they could only trace his past to some para-military groups and several felonies, including bomb-making ( like Wm Ayers) from some years in the past.

Don't know who the "theologian" is that you posted from, but I must respectfully disagree. I think the guy is interpreting toward an agenda. First he makes this claim;
Job 3:3, 10-11, 16
That last verse, Job 13:16 tells us very much about how Job saw the matter of being a fetus. He saw it as “not having being,” or as we would say, “not having existence.” That is exactly what the text says and that is what any common sense person would accept as the teaching of Job.
My KJV Bible says no such thing in Job 13:16..so, correcting his mistake, I went to Job 3:16 which says " Or as an hidden, untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light".
It sure seems as if the term "as infants which never saw light", would rather back up the belief in conscious being of pre-born boys & girls, doesn't it. Don't know where in Job the author wrested his ideas from, but let's look in a couple places to see what God thinks of such a situation. (Psalm139:15-17) or (proverbs 31:

...much clearer than that Job game someone is trying to play..No ?

You cite (Matt 26:52) as being "from the man" ! It says; " Then said Jesus , Put up again the sword into his place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword". Excellent !! TM...Precisely what many here have been saying..a scalpel can be a nice little sword for dispatching little boys & girls; so he met his fate as predicted..

One more thing, said by God himself " Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction."
(Proverbs 31:

preceeding the verses 10-31, which outlines the qualities of a "virtuous woman"..

Better send old Askelm back to Bible school and tell him not to try to force fit the Bible as Cinderella's ugly step-sisters tried to force fit the dainty slipper.
