It is my understanding that Senator Byrd has professed with his mouth in prayer meetings within the United States Senate that Jesus is indeed His Lord, and I note his Memorial Day Commentary (which is quite good) especially this passage:

"As our [emphasis mine, mkj] Lord Jesus Christ said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
...This Memorial Day, let us give thanks for the servicemen and women who stand in harm’s way all around the globe.
...Like the four Chaplains, these brave Americans are ready to sacrifice their lives for others and for the freedoms we enjoy.

I submit that if Senator Byrd had any reluctance about the Presence of Christ in his life, he would have said "As the Lord Jesus Christ said..." not "As OUR Lord Jesus Christ said..."

Jesus said, "Whosoever confesseth me before men, I will confess before the Father", and that's good enough for me.

In the past, I have been among the most rabid and vicious posters when it came to the subject of Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, but that time is past now.

I will make no further negative comments regarding the Senator from this point forward, I wish him Godspeed and a quick recovery, and pray for the Lord Jesus to illuminate his thinking, grant him peace and serenity, and use him as an instrument of God's Will.

Quite frankly, I would rather see Senator Byrd in the White House right now, as compared to the Kenyan Usurper.

So ... Jesus' words are good enough for you?

Great: A point of agreement.

Try these:

Matthew 7:

15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. 21Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. 24Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, 25And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. 26And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, 27And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. 28And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. 29For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

As for Bobby "Sheets" Byrd: I pray for his repentance and conversion. Same as Fat Drunk Ted Kennedy and Barry Hussein Soetoro Odinga Whatever 0bama.
