You will LET God judge him? Oh wow, I am sure God is grateful to you for that.

What makes you think he needed to "reach out" to God just before he died. He was already a believer for many years. Just because you don't like him and you disagree with his views doesn't have anything to do with his standing before God. Do you think everyone must agree with your view of God in order to be "saved"? It certainly sounds like it. And yet you say Mr. Smith was arrogant? Something is wrong with this calculation.

I thought only the West Boro Baptists tried to spoil funerals. Not so, apparently.

God bless and peace.

Yes, don't you think it is better if we let God do the judging, as opposed to us people do it? Like I said, I do not know his heart, but God does, so let's leave it to God to judge him, and everyone else.

Have a blessed day

Hope that the site stays up. not sure who will fill his shoes. He did a good job exposing the common hell doctrine. he sure battled that cancer for a long time.

I hope so too. I plan to save many of his writings. God bless and peace.

I just wanted to post a song in memory of L Ray. Smith. I think he understood the refrain of this song.

In his first moments. At conception.

There isn't a single verse to support that claim.

Believe in Jesus and be saved.
Surely you don't agree with Ray but he was a believer. Doesn't that mean he's saved?

If being wrong about things is a ticket to hell nobody gets saved because nobody is 100% right.

Of course some are further from the truth than others. Many Christians are so wrong their view is so extremly distorted I would say they aren't Christians at all. They believe in a god with an (almost) opposite personality of His real personality. From that pov I would say most/many Christians are satanists because they follow the cleverly crafted doctrines designed by satan. Their hearts are filled with hate. And it clearly/sadly shows in this thread. Someone dies and it takes only a few posts to declare the man is burning in hell as he should righfully be. That shows judgement, hate and horror are the pillars their religion.

Like I have repeated here many times already, I will leave his judgment to God. If you want to declare him saved, or not saved, then that is entirely up to you.
