Well then, by that standard I must not be a Christian since when those I loved died, I mourned.....not for them, but for myself because I was left here alone.

For some reason, I don't think you are a Christian.
Or, maybe you are very angry at Jesus or christians.
Anyway, sometimes you just miss the idea of that un/related person being of this life with you. Not acknowledging your pain would be harmful to you.
At the same time, you can rejoice at their new situation. |

What you fail to understand is the flaja is the ultimate Christian.
Never stumbles, gets tempted, or sins. He is perfect in every way. |

If they expect to join Falwell in Heaven, they have lost nothing. |

Did you have any expectation that you see them again? |

Good grief, the guy just wanted to comfort those who will miss Falwell's presence on earth. It really is that simple.

No he was saying a a TRUE Christian is not supposed to mourn other Christians and that if you do then you aren't a true Christian. Which is baloney.

And they won't be legitimate Christians or they don't believe that Falwell was a legitimate Christian. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to mourn a legitimate Christian's death because that legitimate Christian has not lost anything

Should you get so worked-up over the “loss” of someone you expect to spend eternity with? |
