“Christians should only reflect sorrow when a defiant one has entered eternity separated from Christ forever.....”

I think God would not necessarily agree with your statement.

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

THAT is God’s wrath. Are you God?

I agree with Guenevere, I’m not going to go all self-righteous. Hitchens made a choice and it was a sad one.

[Guenevere]

I'm not disagreeing with your verse...

..but surely you agree folks can mourn for those who are unrepentant and defy God to the end....

..many Christians have brothers, sisters, moms and dads, etc. who are not believers...

..surely you would mourn for them if they entered eternal Hell.

My point is we are not to be gleeful or smug when a Hitchens enters eternity, knowing full well what angry and distorting words he thought and wrote about our Savior.

I truly hope the man had a deathbed confession.

'It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of an angry God.'

The scriptures says that God is not willing that any would perish.

I believe that God's heart broken when He is rejected.
