[An American In Dairyland]

In the spirit of George W. Bush: may God bless your soul, too.

It's funny how so many supposed Christians miss the message of Jesus Christ, but thankfully our President doesn't. He could even ask God for mercy for the soul of an evil man like Arafat.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

People need to get things right with GOD before they die, not after, need to make amens with GOD before death, the BIBLE says, ( once a man dies, after that, the judgment )
Once a person dies, it's to late for praying for their souls.
It's a waisted prayer to pray for someone whom has died already ( as far as the BIBLE is concerned ).
Yes, GOD can have mercy on anyone before they die, no matter how evil or bad they were, but, that's up to that person to decided.
The Bible tells us, in ROMANS chapter 1, that a person can get so bad off, that GOD eventually let's them go, or gives up on them.
The only people you can pray for is that mans family ( who jumped off the building today ) or Arafat's wife or family, as far a Arafat is concerned ( unless he accepted Jesus Christ in his heart ) he is doomed to hell. It's no use to pray for his soul now, since he died ( that is what the BIBLE tells us, not, what I am telling you, so please ? don't condemn me for saying it, or what the BIBLE says ).
Only religion ( religion is not GODs way to heaven, Jesus Christ is GODs way to heaven ) or religious people pray for those people who have already died , who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour.
I am just telling it like it is, as far as the BIBLE tells us. Jesus Christ said " I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man can come to the father, but, by me " Religion tells us, there are MANY WAYS TO HEAVEN, we have our own way we can get to heaven. As far as the OLD TEST is concerned, if you look at the history of the OLD TEST, GOD was always fighting against MANS WAYS TO GOD, or RELIGION. take care. Don't condemn the messenger, because of his message.
