After reading these comments, I have only one thing to add: I did not read anywhere in the article that Hugo implored his God and Savior for forgiveness. He only said (according to heresay), “I don’t want to die.”
The usual plea of a penitent sinner is “Jesus, forgive me” or some other such type of remorse. Chavez’s only final remarks were, “I don’t want to die.” He does not sound like a believer in any Being other than his own inflated ego.
I’m surprised his last words weren’t ... is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?
lol
Well we have no idea what we said, thought or did over the last several months. One cannot rule out a fullblown conversion. From his previous statements and actions it seems unlikely. But none of us really knows who goes to heaven or hell.
Also even if one goes to heaven does not preclude them for being held accoutable for their life as mentioned in the Bible. So there are unknown consequences of sin even for those saved. One cannot fully game the system, live like hitler, confess at the end and have zero consequences. I don’t see support in the scripture for such a “gaming the system” model.
