Fat Ted did not get to the Pearly Gates. His destination was DOWN. The fires of a Devil's Hell awaited him. Everything he stood for, did, preached for, is against the Word of God and the Bible. His murder of MaryJo, his lifestyle, his homo approval, his gay marriage approval, etc., damned him to hell. He did not have an opportunity to view the Gates of Heaven.

I certainly understand and share your anger at what he did, and how the Deceiver, the Father of Lies keeps giving him cover. Jesus himself angrily turned over the tables of the moneylenders who desecrated the temple.

But I also think it is important for believers to be able to separate that anger from bitterness, and give God the final judgment. We do not know if he cried out for mercy. They say that even if Hitler had done so, he could have been saved.

If we don't learn to separate ourselves from final judgment, leaving it in faith to God's final say for His purposes, it is we who will have a heart of unforgiveness when we show up at the Gates, and it is we who may be turned away. ("But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first."—Matt.19:30)

It is possible that God "allows" some evils in order to awaken us to our own need to grow morally and take actions, such as investigating the truth about candidates and all the other acts of service for unwed mothers, et cetera. Without sin, there would be no refining of our souls. Sin is a sort of carborundum and we are diamonds in the rough, in a manner of speaking.

You both ask about the same question. I did not judge Ted Kennedy. He did what he did to himself. My Bible and my pastor preach that unless you confess your sins, ask for forgiveness and live the life, you are going to hell. That simple. Ted Kennedy's life style was not that of a believing person. Drunk, sex with other women while married, his support of abortion, his support of homosexuals and their activities, his support of gay marriage. I needen go on. His list of failures is long and for all too see. He walked away and left a young woman to DIE! He may not have been found guilty by any human court for his offense, but my Bible says no murderer shall enter Heaven. Ted Kennedy may have asked Christ to forgive him for his sins on his death bed, but we will never know that and Kennedy certainly was not going to let anyone of his beloved liberals know he might do such a thing!! His own actions are against everything Christians stand for. He hated Christians. Thus he hated Jesus first. If you think that Ted Kennedy was an EXAMPLE of a Christian, then that is the reason that people say, “well if he is an example of a Christian, I am going to Heaven. I don't need to go to church.” No, I did not judge Kennedy. I merely said he was going to hell because of his RECORD. I have explained the other. You continue to believe what you want and I will continue to believe what I want. I think Kennedy is right now talking to Satan. I do not believe he is talking to St. Peter at the Gates.
