May he finally find peace with God.
He has disinherited his father. Wonder if Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will disappear now.
>May he finally find peace with God.
I understand that this is merely a prayer for his salvation, and that is something I can agree with. I pray that there were evidences of fruit that we could not see. I must also pray that should there have been none, that the mercy of the judge not be extended to MJ.
It is right that all of us sinners fall into the eternal pit. It is only through the grace of God that we are not cast there upon the first sin. We deserve nothing better than the wrath which Jesus took the full brunt of. It is not unjust or wrong that any face the judgement and wrath. It is not unjust or wrong to praise God for pouring out wrath. Yes it is a frightening thing, but it is right to praise God for punishing those that deserve it, and should make our commission that much more desperate and motivated to save those of His Flock.
Believe me, I would desperately love to have some small evidence that Michael Jackson was saved, but I see nothing of Christ in his life. All praises to that Judge who pours out His righteous wrath on those that are not washed by the Blood of Christ. All praises to Him that has chosen to extend unmerited favor to His ekklesia, His Called out ones from all the peoples. May He be blessed for both His wrath and grace for He is full of Righteousness and Mercy and that is good.
I pray also for his salvation. He seemed like such a tortured soul to me, torn between his love of worldly things and possessions and trying to find some purpose and meaning in his life. I will say that out of all his screwed-up family members, his father will be the one who has to answer as to why he neglected his God-given duty to be a parent, instead of pushing his children down the road to fame and greed.
Yes, I agree.
And I pray for his kids as well, it seems now they risk being exploited just as some allege he was as a child.
