I wonder if the so-called “most trusted man in America” trusted in the Lord Jesus.

I hope so. When death comes, that is all that matters.

>> When death comes, that is all that matters.

Death has a way of putting men — even famous men — in their proper place in God’s creation. All of the pride and vanity of life vanishes like a vapor. And then...

“it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment...” (Heb. 9:27)

F*ck him! His betrayal of the American soldiers, whom he claimed to be a friend of, beginning with declaring the Vietnam war lost while we were winning a stunning military victory in the Tet Offensive, emboldened the Viet Cong and the NVA and lead to the unnecessary death of many thousands of GIs.

..’scuse me- I could be wrong, but...
Isn’t this the “most trusted man in America” who witnessed, with his own eyes, American and So Vietnamese troops kick the s#$@ out of the Viet Cong during Tet’68 and THEN return to the States to announce that the war was “unwinnable”?

The wall to wall coverage, even on Fox, amounts to another Jackson love-fest for a man who isn’t worth it.

No, it is Faith in Jupiter that matters.

Or is it Faith in Woden...

Or is it Faith in Buddha...

Or is it Faith in the invisible pink unicorn?

I agree. Shame we will hear nothing but this all weekend long, unless some other event takes it over.

It is faith in Jesus Christ, and what he did for you on the cross, that matters.

Sorry, I regret that since you have no faith in Jupiter,(aka Zeus Pater) you will be roasted for all eternity in Tarterus. Whereas great heroes such as I will enjoy as the fruit of my virtue, the Elysian Fields.
