Buried face down?

I usually have to explain similar comments to my wife, but she replied with 'Eeewwww, gross' almost immediately.

And any person of faith should pray for her in hopes that she repented before she died.

Agreed. But understand that hers is a particularly heinous set of circumstances. Her individual issues are one thing. But by taking the high profile position on this issue of morality that she has, she has led others to serious sin.

She is a banner carrier for scandal. Bad situation to be in.

But once dead, it is entirely appropriate for the people of God to assess the life lived.

Even the apostles condemned Judas after his death.

" Burn in hell, Edith. Yes, burn in Hell."

Luke 16

23 "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."

24 "And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."

In this teaching from YESHUA, the person in torment is a man but women are not exempt from justice.

As bad as this Bible verse sounds, it is not Hell. Hell comes after the White Throne Judgement.

Holy Scripture says it is not the will of God our Father that anyone should perish, but that all might be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.

Actually, 2 Peter 3:9 says that all repent.

But I agree with your point otherwise.

Such a shame God didn’t smite her down at 18, but then Satan rules the world, so I guess it is to be expected. We deserve what we get when we lose our morals and allow evil like this lady to prosper.

Amen.

The tollhouses assist in that process. It can take a long time.

It is too late to pray for her. Once you die your fate is sealed - heaven or hell.

I am a lady. I seriously doubt that this female was a lady.

You are right: once you die, your fate is sealed, heaven or hell.

The damned are beyond help. They spend their time in hell eternally hatefully choosing hell.

Concerning the forgiven sinners-— whose blessed eternal destiny is also unchangeable -— some may be undergoing a process of purification, which St. Paul referred to as being “saved, and yet as though through fire.” Not exactly a place, but a state or process: some call it purgatory.

They are forgiven, they are heaven-bound, but they need to be freed from all the attachments, the residues and stains of their (forgiven) sins: perfected, like gold.

We can, and do, help them by our prayers.

No joke -—indeed a very bad situation to be in. A horrifying, hellish situation. All we can hope is that at the last minute she had the grace to cry out sincere repentance and grasp the saving Hand.

A fragment of poetry — I think this is how it goes:

Between the stirrup and the ground,
Mercy was sought, and Mercy found.

Unfortunately the evidence indicates that this sodomite is now burning in Hell for the sin of being an unrepentant homosexual. What is even worse is that she encouraged others to be fags, leading them to Hell with her.

Wake up homos! Why do you think God created AIDS?
