By now all of you know that Dr. Gene Scott has passed, but guess
what?
All of US are going to pass away also. It is appointed unto man
once to
die AND AFTER THAT THE JUDGMENT! Heb. 9:27

The righteous are REQUIRED to tell the wicked they are going to die.
Eze. 3:18

The Christian is better off dead because he is with Christ and no
longer
concerned about possibly failing and denying Christ here on earth.
Phillipians 1:23.

So you claim..proof.

The bible is not proof Al! A book can say anything.

The non-Christian needs to be greatly concerned about dying before
accepting Christ for there is NO OTHER WAY to the Father in heaven.
John 14:6, KJV, "Jesus saith unto him, I am THE way, THE truth, and
THE
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

So you claim, I'm not really worried, I'll just be worm food, like
you.
You probably aren't going anywhere...except into the ground.

Some of you rejoice at the death of Dr. Gene Scott. Many Christians
rejoice with you for, if he was truly a Christian (only God knows
the
heart), he is far better off than he ever was here. ... Even before
he
got prostate cancer. See Phil. 1:23.

I thought he was amusing. Most all the other preachers are slimeballs
at
best, so I'm not rejoicing he's dead, but I don't think there's any
reason to be happy about it...and prostate cancer can be a bad way to
go...

Right here I could interject the same word you used above. Proof. How do
you
know its a bad way to go? You gone that way? No. You know someone who
has?
Maybe yes. The same could be said for Dr. Scott. If you ever knew any
Christians, you would see their serenity in their leaving this world.
Ask
the doctors. They can tell you that Christians on the whole have more
of a
grip on death than those who dont know God. They can tell you the horror
on
the faces of those who die not knowing what will happen to them after
they
are gone. So throwing that word "proof" around shouldnt make you feel
as
smug as you think you are.

Smug?? No, just realistic.

I knew two people that had prostate cancer, one is still alive, having
had to be castrated, and then radiated and chemoed to the point he
almost died from it alone. But somehow, he made it. Tough guy.

The other guy had no signs of any problems, then started having pain
when standing up. He was loaded with cancer that had spread to his
spine. The cancer was so widespread they didn't even try to do chemo, he
was too far gone. He spent his last 3 weeks or so in bed, hooked to a
morphine drip that never put out enough to really stop the pain. He was
a christian, and he wasn't "serene" in the least. Maybe he had doubts..

Other christians may be more serene, but the placebo effect can account
for that. If you believe in something strong enough, it can do
"wonders".

But the most "serene" person I ever saw that was dying was a friend's
dad, who was an atheist from a young age, like myself. He was ok with
it, "Hey, 80 isn't that bad, longer than I ever expected!" He just kind
of faded away. Boy, would he have been ****ed if he knew his sisters got
together and had a minister do a memorial service before the "real" one.
The after funeral "wake" was about as tense as I have ever seen, one of
the sister's kids blabbed the whole deal as the real service ended. It
was entertaining.

To dismiss changed lives as a result of the teachings of the Bible is
smugness. You don't know most peoples testimonies. And it is their
testimony. You cant deny it. You don't have to believe it, but that doesn't
make you right. After all, they are the ones claiming a changed live. If
you don't believe it, fine, go your way, but you don't need to be putting
them down. You don't have the authority to speak for them.
