So let me make sure I'm accurate here. You say the man is "hateful," and yet you spew hate from your sewer and rejoice over his death. What makes you holier than thou in this case?
So, not only are you a hatemongerer, but you're also a raging hypocrite for calling him one too.
Right on good bud. I'm very thankful that you're back, btw and glad to be back with you contending for truth.
Now I know how the hatemonger Christophobic types here will be rejoicing when I pass on if I go before them. Falwell was two years older than I, a dear brother in Christ whom I respected but with whom I had quite a few theological differences. I say these hatemongers will rejoice over my passing because I pretty much agree with most of what they hate Falwell for, being of the religious right.
I, like Falwell, have some gay friends and treat them well but am fully aware that the Bible says their lifestyle is a sinful lifestyle. Over the years via my business I have had a number of gay friends who I had dealings with which helped them and me as well. One significant incident comes to mind. I wrote a letter to the editor a number of years ago in which I reminded all who claim they believed the Bible that in so doing they need to understand that the Bible denounced both adultery and homosexuality. Well there were a pair of gays who had done quite extensive business with me over the years and we had a friendly business relationship. After I submitted the letter which was published, I had a visit from one of the pair. I was all alone, my wife being out for the evening. He was acting quite strangely and making some remarks which gave me the impression that he may have been there to take my life. I reminded him that my remarks were Biblical and that they were across the board addressing both heterosexuals and homosexuals. This seemed to put him at ease and before he left he said he
loved me. I believe he was sincere and that he didn't mean it in a sexual manner. Our business relationship never suffered from it and they moved out of state later on.
Falwell never hurt a gay person nor have I. He convinced some gays that their lifestyle was indeed not Biblical as was his duty as a preacher of the Bible and they became his friends and brothers in Christ as well. Preaching what the Bible teaches regarding their lifestyle is not hate. That is his duty as a Biblical pastor.
The hateful things said by the hatemongers here are baseless. Falwell was no threat to anyone. He was a citizen under the Constitution and the laws of the land which he operated under all the way promoting his harmless agendas under the auspices of those laws and the Constitution. The nation is better, not worse for the work of this good man.
I challenge all these hateful people to document one way in which the nation is worse off because of the work of this man.
How many of the scores of thousands of folks he ministered to both via the church and university think they are worse off because of his work? Maybe a few dozen? How many of these would have ended up as suicide victims, drunkards, dope addicts, dead et al, et al had they not been affected by the Biblical principles this man instilled into them? Only God knows.
How many folks in poor nations overseas who were helped benevolently by this man's work think they are worse off from having received food, clothes, education, et al? How many single mothers who kept their children, helped financially, spiritually, et al along by the Falwell ministries think they were worse off by this man's work? Likely none or few.
Yah, like us all, he had some faults, but I'm not ashamed to be likened unto him in life or in death no matter how gleeful these haters express themselves when I pass on.
It's logical to assume that the hateful folks here who hate Falwell loving his death also hate the scores of thousands of good law abiding, tax paying American citizens who espouse and support what he espoused while he lived and will rejoice at their death also.
It all goes to show that what they really hate is the Biblical principles he preached and the Biblical principles all Biblically fundamental people espouse. This hateful generation is prophesied several places in the Biblical prophecies. These same folks would have likely danced when Jesus was dying on the cross along with the hypocritical self righteous Pharasees, for it was Jesus and his gospel which Falwell preached as well as the principles Jesus and his apostles taught.
Proverbs 29:10: "The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect (good). As for the upright, they seek his life." ASV
Psalms 34:21b, 22 "And they that hate the righteous shall be condemned. Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants." ASV
Psalms 37:12, 13 "The wicked plotteth agianst the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth that his day is coming."
Psalms 37:32 "The wicked watch the righteous And seeketh to slay him." ASV (i.e. rejoices at his death)
Psalms 116:15 "Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints."
As you say, NJ, the real hate is by folks hateful enough to
dance in the streets over another person's death.
BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW
In the New Testament the apostle Paul spoke negatively of the homosexual revolution prophesied for the latter days, men lying with men and women with women. In Romans 1:24-32 you can read about it where the Bible calls the practice "abomination" and calls it "against nature."
