Flagged as inappropriate. show I am absolutely astonished and appalled at what I've read so far. As Christians, it is not our job to judge other people. Remember that the good book says to judge with the same measurement by which you hope to be judged. Yes, I agree that our prayers should be with him and his family at this time, but it is not any of our places to say anything about how much he loved his family and/or whether he's going to heaven or hell. Not a single one of us on this post have a heaven or hell to put anyone into. You don't know him, his relationship with God and/or the truth behind what the media portrayed. In fact, the first little boy that claimed Michael molested him came out this week saying that it was all a lie and his father set him up to it. Amazingly that didn't get nearly the amount of coverage as the negativity. Go Figure. How can we evangelize to anyone when we act "holier than though" and like our own stuff doesn't stink? Clearly we all need to have tolerance for others and their beliefs...that does not mean that we need to believe or accept what they believe as our own doctrine. You were given the choice to chose Christianity. How would you feel if someone bashed you for that decision? Give other's that same choice and respect. Our job is to plant the seed of Christianity.....and live what we preach....not teach of the love of God and turn around and act like ignorant bigots...particularly when we don't know the whole story. Rather than judge, let's just pray. I don't mean any disrepect, but if I were not a Christian and I visited this forum, I would be so turned off at the thought of following the same person these posters claim to follow....not saying that there is anything wrong with stating your feelings....but please remember that you are the only bible that some will ever read. Many of these messages were filled with spite and hatred. I just don't remember the bible saying "love thy neighbor....unless you don't like them" nor "thou shalt feel free to hate someone who did something you don't agree with." I pray that this message finds you well and that God continues to place his shield of protection around each and every one of you. May God bless us all and teach us to view people in the way he does...based on the contents of their heart. Vai com Deus (Walk with God) Q hide
