General: Heart attack killed a suffering Chavez ("I don't want to die" his last words)
My Way News (AP) ^ | Mar 7, 5:35 AM (ET) | FABIOLA SANCHEZ

President Hugo Chavez died of a massive heart attack after great suffering and inaudibly mouthed his desire to live, the head of Venezuela's presidential guard said late Wednesday.

"He couldn't speak but he said it with his lips ...

'I don't want to die. Please don't let me die,' because he loved his country, he sacrificed himself for his country," Gen. Jose Ornella told The Associated Press.

No doubt, and true repentance necessarily contains the desire to do penance. Without that desire, the repentance is not authentic.

You have me at a disadvantage. I can find the word repentance in the my Bible so I can understand its meaning as pertaining to things of the spirit, but I can not find the word penance. Could you use another word that might enlighten me?

His suffering is over. The suffering of Venezuela due to his policies continues.

Stalin died shaking his fist at an invisible presence waiting for him

Maybe now Hugo is with him

“No quiero morirme! No me dejen morir!!”

It’s said that the dying Stalin saw the gates of Hell opening up before him and that he frantically pointed at them just before he croaked. Hope Chavez saw the same.

Sic semper tyrannis!

You miss my point. Once you accept Christ, you may not know all the things you can learn from studying the Bible about how God works and how to wait on the Lord, etc.

Quite right. Until you accept Christ, your knowledge is the same as any atheist who has studied the Bible. Once you accept, spiritual understanding of what you are studying takes it to a whole other level.

The most important, and first, component of penance is contrition.

But, I would suppose you consider THAT a "filthy rag."

I wouldn’t want to die, either, if I knew I was going to Hell.

Well, I don’t anyway, but I’m ready to meet the Lord.

How does the saying go? “Heaven’s my home, but I ain’t homesick”.

I’m sure he’s singing God’s praises right next to Hitler, Stalin, and Che, all of whom probably had last minute conversisons.

Not that it couldn’t happen, it could. But the smart money bets otherwise.

'I don't want to die. Please don't let me die,'

Perhaps a near death experience allowed him to view the other side and it was not a pretty sight.

As for death bed conversions, a life-long reprobate rarely changes.

Jesus paid the price. But they have to accept His sacrifice. Having believed otherwise their entire lives, it is unlikely that they changed their minds at the last minute.

Could have happened, though, and if so he is now in Glory with God. However, I’m not expecting to see him when I get to Heaven.

If I do, I can only rejoice that God brought another sinner home. Whichever it is, though, he has decided his own eternal fate for himself.

I’m waiting on the Lord to show me that he has delegated you the judge of Hugo Chavez’a eternal destiny.

Sounds to me like you haven’t repented at all, in that case.

Think God can be fooled just like a parole board?

You bring up an interesting point.

Do animals also experience life after death? I’ve read preachers and theologians argue both ways.

I do not know. I tend to think not, but would be happy to be wrong and see my pets again.

Do you have any thoughts?
