This is “way” above our pay grade to even consider. When the Bible says, “judge not”, this is what it is talking about. We are in a terrible position to “judge” worthiness for eternity.
I don’t know. Neither do you. It’s not our job.
If not - he’ll burn in Detroit.
It doesn’t matter. Everything, and i mean EVERYTHING, that this guy said, did, and thought became moot with the OJ trial, and has been moot since.
The Negroes are not attempting to ‘stand on his shoulders’, but instead are standing on his buried head.
He’s jamming to Let’s Dance right now.
Why?
As human beings, it is impossible to know. Simply put.
None of my business.
Really?
Why not just lets throw you in the river,weighted and tied to see if you are a witch.
Certainly not my problem or concern.
If he was able to seek the mercy of the Lord in the short time between seeing the flash of the rifle and the impact of the projectile...maybe...but his conduct of life up to that point was certainly not of keeping with the teachings of the One that would be concerned.
So, no matter how many speeches we heard, no matter how many schools bear his name, no matter how many roads or streets were named after him, glorification after the fact will not change anything.
More to the point...I don't have to care...the state of his immortal soul is in the hands of God...and who am I to question that?
If he confessed Jesus as Lord with his mouth and believed in his heart that God raised Him from the dead he was saved. Only God knows for sure if he did that.
We would hope so. That’s between the Lord and him.
And lots of Christians have been fooled by the lure of socialism. He may have been one of them.
“Was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A Saved Man As the Bible Teaches?”
I didn’t know MLK was in the Bible.
There are definitely quotes from the man that would lead an honest person to wonder if he was truly saved.
And then he said stuff like this:
“By opening our lives to God in Christ, we become new creatures. This experience, which Jesus spoke of as the new birth, is essential if we are to be transformed nonconformists ... Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Like the early Christians, we must move into a sometime hostile world armed with the revolutionary gospel of Jesus Christ. With this powerful gospel we shall boldly challenge the status quo.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
“We need to pledge ourselves anew to the cause of Christ. We must capture the spirit of the early church. Wherever the early Christians went, they made a triumphant witness for Christ. Whether on the village streets or in the city jails, they daringly proclaimed the good news of the gospel.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
“In contrast to ethical relativism, Christianity sets forth a system of absolute moral values and affirms that God has placed within the very structure of this universe certain moral principles that are fixed and immutable.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The God whom we worship is not a weak and incompetent God. He is able to beat back gigantic waves of opposition and to bring low prodigious mountains of evil. The ringing testimony of the Christian faith is that God is able.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
Overrated as they come
I could care less
