Still pushing that falsehood ey?
Kinison was a genius. I saw him in person in Reno. Gone too soon.
Kinison was hilarious. Such a terrible tragedy.
It’s appointed Man to die,
then comes Judgement .
Jesus said
“It Is Finished”
Purgatory is just for Control.
Yes, and I pray that hearts will come to believe.
He sure was! I just watched about 4 of his YouTube vids, (Had not seen them in a while), and they really got my old bones laughing again. His ‘Rock Hudson’ bit was as funny a thing as I have ever heard from a stand up comedian.
Luke 23:43 Surely this DAY you will be with ME in PARADISE.

There is no “purgatory”. The Church of MAN made it up to extort money from the families of the deceased. Christ died for ALL my sins and the sins of EVERY man, woman and child that will ever be. There is no “intermission after death.
totally.not.biblical
You don’t think we have had our faith tested these last six years in preparation and anticipation of a better existence?
Yeah, it’s a ski resort in Colorado.
Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Purgatory...
Paul said we live for hope.
So, lets hope.
Right now, there’s no clear light at the end of the tunnel... but yes, hope...hope...
Heh. Just hearing the name Sam Kinison makes me get the bends laughing. I loved that sinister twinkle he’d get in his eye.
There’s a classic essay, “The Gospel for Those Broken by the Church,” by Lutheran theologian Rod Rosenbladt that happens to reference Sam Kinison.
EXCERPT:
Is there anything we can do that is of genuine help to such angry alumni of Christianity?
I think so. And the answer I’m about to give you comes right from a guy close to one of those angry ones. From whom? From Sam Kinison’s brother, Bill! How so?
One night I happened to be watching a 60-Minutes interview with Bill Kinison.
After Sam was in an auto accident on a lonely highway near Las Vegas, he lay dying. Bill was cradling Sam’s head in his arms as Sam died. Some time later, the interviewer asked Bill about Sam’s hatred of Christianity. And Bill looked at the interviewer and said, “What? You think Sam was not a Christian believer? You’re wrong! Sam died as a believer in Jesus Christ. You’ll definitely see Sam in heaven! Sam never was angry with Jesus. He was angry at the church!” And I jumped out of my chair and yelled, “That’s it! There it is! There is the answer—and from Sam Kinison’s brother!”
What did I mean, “That’s it!”?
We can respond to the angry and say something like, “Oh, oh, oh, I see! You’re not angry at Jesus Christ. You’re angry at the church!” “Boy oh boy, join the club! So am I! And so are a whole bunch of other Christians!” [Here, if we had time, I would digress on how Christians angry with Christ will be saved by His cross, too. But this is not the time for that.]
Read the whole essay or better yet watch Rosenbladt deliver it, here:

We'll be praying for you:
What does a Roman Catholic need to do to join the Orthodox Presbyterian Church?
What vile spirit did that outburst come from? Are you sure the religion forum is for you?
Modern day America?
Let me inquire. I just have a hunch. Are you a “professional” Christian? That is a person that makes a living off of “gifts to God? You know? Do you eat off of those gifts and make your house payments and car payment off of God’s money? How about your 401K? You believe in Tithing? Not in the New Testament is it? and God doesn’t need the money does He? He owns everything— doesn’t He? Now tell me, are you a professional Christian?
