I am not speaking ill of the dead. I'm speaking of what he believed, what I know to be truth and what the word of God says will happen to those who don't obey Him. Simple, ferd.

OG, is it our job to put him in hell?
No, and I didn't.
Question, Ferd: is it your job to know what will send someone to hell? If so, what do you do with that info? If not, I'm skeered!

lets get this part real clear. YOU cant preach ANY Gospel to Mr Falwell. He is dead and YOU are kicking his corps. that is bad form dude. There is no longer a question about mans destiny. but YOU are hacking away at a dead body. for what? do you feel better? Proud of yourself? make you more confident in your salvation?
IT IS A DEAD BODY DUDE!
Again, I am not kicking the corpsE! It was asked was he saved or lost. I answered and gave my two cents about its implications in OUR lives. Simple. No corpsE kicking. The man's dead and gone. I pray his family finds and obeys truth before they are, too!

If all that's been said about his beliefs is true AND he didn't change his views between when he finished breakfast (last time he was seen) and when he died, then he is lost according to God's word.
It blows my mind that some on here who, had they known this man's fate today, would have taken him early this morning, planted him in a chair and preached Acts 2:38 to him lest he go to hell. But, NOW? NOW........they're not so sure he's lost?? How strange!
PLEASE TELL ME -- what happened between you're needing to preach obedience to the Gospel to him yesterday and his death today? Did God change the requirements? Did water baptism in the name of the Lord all of the sudden NOT apply to him? Did the baptism of the Holy Ghost all of the sudden NOT apply to him?
I'm am SOOOO thankful for men who will witness the same truth today as they did yesterday, last week, last year and the first time they saw this truth!
It's not strange to me at all and I've addressed this contradiction over and over and over again.

Suppose you are trying to reach folks who are not very grounded in the word ,and they have just lost a loved one wouldn't it be better to use tact , and try to use wisdom to reach these folks ,in time if they get grounded they'll come to ubderstand things.
It is absolutely best to use God's tact. I call is wisdom, discernment, understanding and knowledge. They all come from the Holy Ghost. I pray for it frequently in dealing with my wife who's brother was killed 10 years ago. I believe him to be lost because he never obeyed the Gospel. If she ever comes to believe and accept this truth, she will also have to admit he is lost. It will take God to do that one, friend! I can only pray to submit to His leading so I don't mess it up royally!

There's one word about the dead I hope you don't use cause if you do I'll get sick.
