[Boortz] Do you believe in God’s promise of everlasting life?

Absolutely.

Do you believe that the reward for a life well spent on this earth is a life with God in heaven after you die?

No, because Jesus expressly said otherwise. In John 3:16, 8:24, and 14:6, He stipulated belief in Himself as mankind's only Savior as the prerequisite for salvation.

Boortz's pop theology notwithstanding, I trust Terri has forged that personal connection with her Lord, of Whom the Bible states, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."

How do you know she has any relationship to Christ? I hope she does, but I've never heard a syllable to indicate she's even heard the biblical Gospel, much less believed savingly in Christ. That's one of the reasons I see it as so important that she not die -- she may not be ready to.

It's pure sentimentalistic wish-fulfillment to yarn on (as you are not doing) about how "better off" she'll be once she dies, when we simply don't know. (I blogged on that very theme, which we see so disconcertingly often at FR -- people we don't like go straight to Hell, but people we like [irrespective of any evidence of a relationship to Christ] go straight to Heaven.)

And PS, yes, what you cite from this article is pure, damning heresy.
