Sanctity Of Life In Mass Shootings

Great Essays
The sanctity of life begins when a person is in the womb because God created people in
His own image and he created life. Jeremiah 1:5 states, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, And before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” People abuse the sanctity of life in mass shootings because they are murdering innocent people that God created. Murder is wrong because we should not kill according to the 10 Commandments.
In Genesis 4 the Bible explains the story of Cain and Abel when Cain murdered his brother Abel because Cain was jealous of Abel after God favored Abel's obedience. In today’s era we see on the news and social media that people kill other people because of jealousy.

    Valerie Strauss' article discusses how mass school shootings affect the education of students who survive, on the Washington Post. Apparently, ever since the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, the amount of students who experienced mass shootings increased, according to a Washington post analysis. In addition, there is very little research on the psychological effects of the survivors of a school shooting. Unfortunately, there seems to be more research on the motivations behind the perpetrators.…

    Hi Professor Caffrey, I believed in the sanctity of life because God created each life in His own image, therefore each life should be treated with a valve as much as any other whether it is considered a foetus or an adult. Life is a gift that has been given to human by God and that therefore it is sacred and cannot be altered by anyone other than God. God had sanctified life when He came to earth and become human where he suffered and without any attempt to end His suffering demonstrates that life should not end unless or excepted when the decision is God’s.…

    Following recent events (involving multiple mass shootings and attacks) many people think that the laws on guns in the United States of America need to be much tighter. I am one of these people. At the moment, as soon as you cross the US border, you have the legal right to purchase yourself a fire arm for personal protection, sport and (apparently, in some unfortunate cases) carrying out an unreasoned mass shooting. This document serves to explain some of the holes in the American legal system. While my foremost problem is not with guns themselves, it is a fact that they are, in the first place, an inherent danger and owning them, in the first instance, causes more trouble than they’re worth.…

    Mass Shootings The anti-gun crowd would like us to believe that with more guns, comes more gun violence, but since more and more states have allowed people to carry a side arm, crime has declined. Can these things be a mere coincidence? Perhaps, but even if that’s true, it still proves that allowing law abiding citizens to be armed does not increase crime, and suggest that it contributes to lowering it instead (Federal Bureau of Investigation, n.d.). Something else to ponder is where do mass shootings occur?…

Legal abortion today states that human life starts at birth, but when a baby is born, it grows and develops into a teenager, then a mature adult, until it finally becomes old and dies. Humans are made to develop and change, so a human becomes a human during conception.…

    The Church explains that all life, even the lives of unborn babies, is sacred and should be respected and loved. In scripture, it even says that God created mankind in his image. So if we would not go against God, then why would we have the right to kill each other? The church also says that life should be protected in any stage or condition it is in. When we help the sick and elderly with everyday tasks, we are demonstrating that teaching.…

    In Genesis, Cain resents his brother Abel because of the favor he has received with God. Because of his jealousy, Cain lures Abel out into the field and “[w]hen they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him” (Gen. 4.8). In the Book of Genesis, the animosity Cain has for his brother Abel arises out of envy towards him. The Iroquois use the right-handed and left-handed twins to demonstrate how their gods bring order and balance to the world through their opposition. Genesis, however, focuses on how Adam and Eve’s original violation of God’s trust compound with each generation, even to the point of murder because of…

    I believe that in the US Constitution when it gives citizens the right to bear arms, it means that anyone of age, so anyone 18 and over can carry a gun. I do believe there should be gun control, but to an extent. I believe if you are 18 year or older and have no criminal record you should be able to carry a gun, but at the same time I think that if everyday citizens didn’t have these guns there would be less deaths per year. If you have a criminal record before the age of 18, I think there should be a certain amount of time, or if the crime was bad enough, you should lose the privilege to own a gun. I do think overall though, citizen should not be able to carry guns.…
