Oh my God I can't believe all those people died in those religion-based terror attacks. Prayers inbound to their families.

God is testing you.

If you consider the deeper implication of an unironic statement like that, basically what that person is saying is that God's plan for the individual that died was to have them live briefly until their life gets cut tragically and painfully short just to test you (and also cause you pain).

Sounds like how I play video games.

God has a plan.

That plan was for your kid to die.

If God took back your son, that means your son was not meant to be. He was basically a soulless monster and you should be glad that God fixed that problem.

quote:

Personally, I don’t see why I should use the phrase “Rest in Peace”. When the full phrase today has become “may his/her soul rest in peace”. I don’t think this applies to somebody who is saved. If the deceased is saved, why would I ask God for his/her soul to be at peace when, according to the Bible, that person is definitely in Heaven?

Then again, if the deceased was definitely not saved, saying “may his/her soul rest in peace” is not Biblical; if they weren’t saved when they died, they’re in Hell. No amount of praying to God will change that; for if God heard your prayer for the deceased and changed his/her eternal fate, then the doctrines found in the Word of God would be rendered of null effect.

And if you don’t know the person was saved or not, even then it would be wrong to say it; for by offering that feel-good phrase as your condolence, you may be giving the loved ones false hope about his/her eternal fate. This, besides your words possibly being in vain. Again, bestowing the blessing or even the prayer for his/her soul to rest in peace is useless if the person was saved (for he/she is then already in Heaven), and useless if the person wasn’t saved (for he/she is then already in Hell).

I have been unironically waiting for this admission for AGES. Thanks for making my day, Pathetic Little Tramp!

edit: According to a news source:

quote:

this is the first time Alex has himself spoken out in such a direct way in his own…except for posting a comment relaying this information on the Alex Malarkey fan page on Facebook, after which the comment was deleted by moderators and he was blocked from the group.

Deleted and banned from his OWN WEBSITE for trying to tell people he lied.

GBS truly does work in mysterious and wonderful ways today. :)

I know you're hurting right now, but I can tell you that God is real. I once asked God for a sign and a leaf from a tree in front of me. That is my primary evidence for why it's irrelevant that your neighbors now have to grow up fatherless.
