My personal belief is that she fit the description of those bound for an eternity without God and it is safer to err on the side that she went to hell than to deceive people into believing God will accept anyone based upon their own merits.
This is, of course, your personal belief. And you, like the rest of us, are a mere human being and might well be wrong, I'm sure you would admit. Particularly since you had, I believe, only a superficial knowledge of the lady in question based on a few exchanges of hostile and critical posts (see #69920 on the Feelings thread and the preceding and following strings of posts as an example). You seem to be very quick to make a judgment on little real knowledge.
Also, the fact is that the relationship you had with the lady was not just superficial but hostile. This gives me grounds to suspect that your post immediately following her death to her grieving friends was simply a chance to get a last shot in at someone you disliked and simultaneously hurt her friends whom you also dislike. In fact, I can't imagine you had any other real motive.
Let me ask you - do you engage in behavior like this in real life? When you attend a funeral or visit a funeral home to pay your respects, do you make a point of going up to the grieving family and loved ones to share your judgment that their loved one is now burning in hell? In fact, have you EVER done that?
BTW, I know of an example where a minister did precisely that. |
