Title: Darwin did not recant.
Post by: Sorin on February 25, 2007, 08:30:54 PM

The "Lady Hope" story appears to be a fallacy.

http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/darwin.html

"Moore concludes that Lady Hope probably did visit Charles between Wednesday, September 28 and Sunday, October 2, 1881, almost certainly when Francis and Henrietta were absent, but his [Darwin's] wife, Emma, probably was present. He describes Lady Hope as "a skilled raconteur, able to summon up poignant scenes and conversations, and embroider them with sentimental spirituality."

Amen!

I had also heard that Kruschef became a Christian right before he died and also Rock Hudson.
Just hopeful thinking...???  And of course, Elvis.

I ACTUALLY HEARD THAT RICHARD DAHMER GOT BAPTISED AND PROCLAIMED HIS FAITH IN Yeshua, shortly after he arrived in prison and right before he was murdered.

Indeed. I only created this thread because many well-meaning people pass on the story as fact when it's actualy a fallacy. But you're right, he will recant.

You probably meant Jeffrey Dahmer.  I heard the same thing about him.  I believe he was a tormented individual who was genuinely remorseful for what he did.  Now, whether or not he produced enough of a crop in his life to be fit for the kingdom before he died, I don't know.  But it seems he may have reached a point of realizing he was a prisoner of sin and only by God's mercy and grace could he be set free. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of suprised religious folks who one day see Dahmer in the kingdom while they themselves have yet to enter.

Yes, Jeffery, Dahmer, not Richard. ;)

To All,

  Kind of like Emperor Constatine converted to Christianity on his deathbed.  Very doubtful.

This all sounds like a ten-second sinner's prayer to me. "Converted to Christianity, got baptised and proclaimed his faith in Yeshua..."
Conversion is a process that lasts a lifetime... Just felt like mentioning this...  ;)

Well, like Ray says, it took all of about 2 minutes for the Lord to convert Paul.  I kind of HOPE the STORY is true!

Peace, Lisa

Maybe your talking about the difference in the called and chosen.
With Jeffrey Dahmer he may have became a 'Christian', the called.
But with Paul he was chosen, the few, where our hope lies  :)

mercy, peace, and love

Hi Kat,

I'm not that complicated, I was just talking about hope in general.  Thought the Darwin Lady Hope Story was inspiring, that's all.

Peace to you,

Lisa
