Gee Whiz…

From the SAME news station:

https://fox11online.com/news/local/man-accused-of-setting-dead-mans-waupaca-county-home-on-fire-now-faces-more-charges-steven-eggert-town-of-harrison-arson-murder-for-hire-stolen-valor

“– A man who allegedly set a dead man’s home on fire, rather than reporting his death to the authorities, was charged Wednesday for allegedly trying to hire another jail inmate to kill a witness in the arson case. And, Steven Eggert was also charged for allegedly lying about serving in the military.”

“The complaint also includes a count of ‘false statement regarding military service,’ which alleges Eggert “did knowingly and with the intent to receive a tangible benefit falsely claim that he was a service member in the military.”
One of the witnesses told police she was afraid of Eggert because of Eggert’s claims he had served with Special Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, and had been shot in the chest while in the service.

That is sad, ninja.
I do not want to be standing next to them at the Last Judgement. Jesus spoke directly to that :

[Matthew 18:10 NASB95] 10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

[Luke 17:2 NASB95] “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.”

Other verses come to mind. In the end, their damnation is sure and terrible.

One of the biggest phonies I know, who claims all sorts of HS/LD sniper stuff, discovered Jesus a few years back and is now making a comfortable living preaching the Word.

A lot of posers use God as a defense when called out as well. Claim you as a Christian should not harass them, etc. This is after they have threatened you, claimed you are the poser and so forth. Keith “Big Turd” Keeton was a classic example.

Religion has a tendency to be the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Looks like preacherman will have a new flock to minister to. Bubba, Thor, Julio, and “Tiny” will enjoy bringing him the manna from the deli.

He’s about one handsome SOB, can’t imagine why the spouse was looking for Somebody To Love.

There are better reasons to kill someone than infidelity. I won’t even ask where his holiness has been realizing the fullness of his faith.
