Ezekiel 18:23 NKJV - "Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?" says the Lord GOD, "[and] not that he should turn from his ways and live?
Ezekiel 18:24 NKJV - "But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked [man] does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.
"A 32-year-old Norwegian [Breivik] was detained and charged with terrorism, but police have not officially released his name. Local media have identified the man as Breivik, who has been described as a right-wing Christian fundamentalist."
I possess a book: When Religion Becomes Evils: 5 Warning Signs, by Charles Kimball. After a bad experience with another ministry before New Light, it was cathartic. It helped me heal and move on to New Light, be active and productive in the Kingdom of God.
The five warning signs are:
1. Absolute Truth Claims
2. Blind Obedience
3. Establishing the "Ideal Time"
4. The End Justifies Any Means
5. Declaring Holy War
Before you "typecast": the author points out all religions are susceptible to these five signs - a Buddhist Doomsday Cult is almost as much a contradiction-in-terms as right-wing Christian Fundamentalist ("in the world; not OF the world").
Breivik had a company of 739 employees. In the agricultural business, purchasing large amounts of fertilizer probably didn't alert anyone...until this.
Pray for the people of Norway. There is no distance in the Spirit.
Pray, if you can, for Breivik. He's been misguided by ideologues from the faith he may have once correctly embraced.
Galatians 1:6 NKJV - I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Galatians 1:7 NKJV - which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
We'll see what this persona-non-Grata has to say for himself Monday, and how many of these warning signs he exhibits...
