By now all of you know that Dr. Gene Scott has passed, but guess what? All of US are going to pass away also. It is appointed unto man once to die AND AFTER THAT THE JUDGMENT! Heb. 9:27 The righteous are REQUIRED to tell the wicked they are going to die. Eze. 3:18 The Christian is better off dead because he is with Christ and no longer concerned about possibly failing and denying Christ here on earth. Phillipians 1:23. So you claim..proof. The bible is not proof Al! A book can say anything. The non-Christian needs to be greatly concerned about dying before accepting Christ for there is NO OTHER WAY to the Father in heaven. John 14:6, KJV, "Jesus saith unto him, I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." So you claim, I'm not really worried, I'll just be worm food, like you. You probably aren't going anywhere...except into the ground. Some of you rejoice at the death of Dr. Gene Scott. Many Christians rejoice with you for, if he was truly a Christian (only God knows the heart), he is far better off than he ever was here. ... Even before he got prostate cancer. See Phil. 1:23. I thought he was amusing. Most all the other preachers are slimeballs at best, so I'm not rejoicing he's dead, but I don't think there's any reason to be happy about it...and prostate cancer can be a bad way to go... Right here I could interject the same word you used above. Proof. How do you know its a bad way to go? You gone that way? No. You know someone who has? Maybe yes. The same could be said for Dr. Scott. If you ever knew any Christians, you would see their serenity in their leaving this world. Ask the doctors. They can tell you that Christians on the whole have more of a grip on death than those who dont know God. They can tell you the horror on the faces of those who die not knowing what will happen to them after they are gone. So throwing that word "proof" around shouldnt make you feel as smug as you think you are. B Smug?? No, just realistic. I knew two people that had prostate cancer, one is still alive, having had to be castrated, and then radiated and chemoed to the point he almost died from it alone. But somehow, he made it. Tough guy. The other guy had no signs of any problems, then started having pain when standing up. He was loaded with cancer that had spread to his spine. The cancer was so widespread they didn't even try to do chemo, he was too far gone. He spent his last 3 weeks or so in bed, hooked to a morphine drip that never put out enough to really stop the pain. He was a christian, and he wasn't "serene" in the least. Maybe he had doubts.. Other christians may be more serene, but the placebo effect can account for that. If you believe in something strong enough, it can do "wonders". But the most "serene" person I ever saw that was dying was a friend's dad, who was an atheist from a young age, like myself. He was ok with it, "Hey, 80 isn't that bad, longer than I ever expected!" He just kind of faded away. Boy, would he have been ****ed if he knew his sisters got together and had a minister do a memorial service before the "real" one. The after funeral "wake" was about as tense as I have ever seen, one of the sister's kids blabbed the whole deal as the real service ended. It was entertaining. BDK To dismiss changed lives as a result of the teachings of the Bible is smugness. You don't know most peoples testimonies. And it is their testimony. You cant deny it. You don't have to believe it, but that doesn't make you right. After all, they are the ones claiming a changed live. If you don't believe it, fine, go your way, but you don't need to be putting them down. You don't have the authority to speak for them. B Neither do you.... BDK Actually I do. B |
