Thanks,
Indiana P.
I feel the same way too. He was of the world. He was not of God. He was a man with plenty of things to say and yet at the end he had to eat his words.
However, still, my condolences to his family.

Use to I would have gleefully said, Well now he knows how wrong he was....
Yuck. I don't like being that person.
He is dead. Yes he was deceived by Gods Will for him. He will learn the truth at the end.
But I do feel for his family in losing a husband, father, grandpa etc...

Come on now. The man is gone. He can't speak to anyone in his defense or to agree with anyone that he was wrong. His family is broken I know. Sorrow is a mean pill. Throw whatever you want to at my name. I am here to take it or not. I still think I should try to have the mind of Jesus and compassion He showed. I know I am not capable of having the mind just like Jesus but I will do my best to show love that He showed me.

Seminole,
Whether you like it or not people are going to talk good and criticize him at the same time. And probably even more so since he has passed.
Everyone has good and bad traits about them. He was a very public figure and a very outspoken man. He said a lot of things that people did not agree with. And he definitely did not appear very compassionate and loving towards those who practiced homosexuality.
In another light he was a strong advocate for higher learning as he started Liberty University. It is obvious he was well respected and people looked up to him. And there is no doubt that he will be greatly missed.

Nicole and Seminole,
I agree with both of you! He was this supposedly great man who loved the whole world but also was heard speaking pretty hatefully as if sinners didn't deserve to be spoken to. (kind of like Hagee does) I got news for anyone who thinks that way: All of us are sinners. Maybe nobody deserves help? There are some pretty disturbing things in the man's past though that make me question his entire overall motive.
But this verse came to mind when I read Seminole's reply:
Mat 5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
Matt
