Thank you Mr. Miller for your comments. You hit the nail on the head. President George H.W. Bush was, however, not techneckly one of the 'fallen', he went the way of 'all flesh'. Just as most humans, he died at a ripe old age; with his family gathered around him. This was a lot like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Job... President Bush did not die in battle as a fallen mighty young warrior (Like Saul and Jonathan), but as an accomplished old man, not yet called to real salvation. It was an outstanding national funeral. The comment "Hatred corrodes the container it is carried in!"; that, and many other such comments, reflect the grace of God that will yet come to bless so many, in a very awesome way, in God's scheduled time. Again, thank you.
This is a fine article. However, we are not the judge. God is. The ones we are to be more discerning about are those who are supposed to be Christians, and are clearly, busy bodies disrupting the church and 'preying' on others; That what Paul was referring to
(2 Thessalonians 3: 10-15). Even then it is better to err on the side of mercy rather than in an attitude of harshness (Matthew 25: 41-46). Very good point - twocents
Thank you Lena!!! You nailed it! But only God can open the eyes of the willing. If you are honest, and you ask Him truthfully, and humbly, he will open your eyes, so you can see. Remember also Matthew 10:28. That same 'soul' will be DESTROYED (fully perished) in Gehenna (the burning garbage dump - figurative, but 'literal' lake of fire), as you have so clearly noted!!
