A Prayer for Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Gun Watch ^ | 9 January, 2019 | Dean Weingarten

Jesus has told us to love our enemies.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has done a great deal to destroy the Constitution as written, and thus destroy the rule of law in the United States. She follows a 70 year tradition of Progressive dominance of the Court, ignoring the clear text of the Constitution, and substituting Progressive preferences.

Ruth is old, and faces death. She sees her death, not at the end of productive life, but as a contribution to the destruction of all her work over decades.

God, please help open Ruth's heart to you. Help Ruth to realize we are all sinners and need forgiveness. We can never live up to the level of perfection God requires, without Jesus. We are all imperfect, because we are not God.

Ruth, you need only ask, and God will help you.

God, I know you wish for all to be saved. Please help your creation, Ruth to accept you and ask for your grace. Help open her heart, and humble her so that she can overcome her pride.

Help Ruth to realize she is not God. Help her realize she is not in control, and she, as with all people, is mortal, and will face you, probably in the near future.

God, may your grace help Ruth to become a child of God.

In the name of your son, Jesus, Amen.

Here is a case when a persons repentance needs to be as notorious as her sin.

It would be nice.

But, I would gladly see a private, deathbed conversion.

It is in God's hands, but we are to do our part to bring our opponents to him.

Eventually, all of us are brought to our knees by life, or at least the prospect of looming death. I pray that, as she looks back at her ghastly, blood-stained influence on American law, she repent and confess her mistakes. I ask for mercy for her because none of us truly deserve the grace that we are offered and receive if genuinely accepted. To receive the mercy and grace of God, one must be merciful.

Antonin Scalia saw some good in her; the two were very good friends.

I think it says something about not condoning evil too.. so I wouldn’t go to overboard.

She will rot like the rest of us mere mortals.. chasing fantastic dreams and pursuing agendas, most for the most part benign.. and then you have the Champions of the Left, the modern day worshippers of Ba’al.

btw,, she has no heart to soften, imo.

May she find peace and find her way back to the arms of God.

Jesus died for everyone's sins, even the worst amongst us for all of eternity. He wants us to repent and get to heaven.

To hope that someone goes to hell is to effectively say that we hope they do NOT repent/die in a state of grace, thus putting us at odds with Jesus.

I think it's perfectly legit to pray for justice, for evil unrepentant men to face the price for their life's immoral choices despite being given chance after chance to repent. But that's quite different from saying "Even though Jesus wants all sinners to repent and go to heaven, I hope her heart remains hard and that she goes to hell."

Your post is prima facie evidence why FR is the best.

Indeed, this is a good prayer.

And as others have said, she was liked by Scalia. People can often be very good people, per se, but have terrible ideas. Lord knows I see it in my Kommie-loving kommunity all the time.

Yes, and I dreamt that Hillary would publicly denounce her husband and confess all the awful things that had happened (deaths) as well as their conspiracy to bring down the US.

I am at the polar opposite end of the political and personal spectrum than she is, but I can and will say a prayer for her.

I don’t wish her ill-I just want her to get out of my life.

"...At one time RBG was a newly married Army wife..."

Yes, she and that Army officer began courting after the Battle of Antietam.

(I heard something like that from another Freeper and chuckled for days at it...:)

Now take her.

Yeah, I don’t think she’s one of those juice for cheeses.
