“...John Lennon did great harm in his lifetime, regardless if he came to Christ in the end,...”

We all do harm in our lifetime. Mine had nowhere near the bandwidth of Lennons’ life yet I grieve at the harm I have done. John Lennon's life was more conspicuous than the rest of ours but he was no more or less flawed then anyone else, no more or less human than anyone else. When he is judged it will be by ONLY his and THE WHOLE of his own life. There will be no other standard present by which to set his life in relief; that is, Hitler will not be present nor will you. We will be alone when we are Judged and we will be judged by our deeds and our repentence.

You might have noticed that I said this was only my opinion. God hasn’t asked my advice about the matter.

That said, I DO have an opinion, and I have stated it. I also have done harm, but it was on an individual level, not on a vast social scale, as did Mr. Lennon.

I didn’t like him when he was alive; he didn’t improve with death. Nevertheless, I hope that he did repent and find salvation before he passed.
