Good on Hulk Hogan !

I remember him years ago trying to look after young kids who were on the wrong path. Such sports do help a lot of people out !

It was good to see him in this video, a honest lover of USA ! and could see through the Evil of the Media and Socialist Party Satanic propagander that has only been trying to undermine everyone !

When I see how the Socialist ends work, I can see how the Nazis truly got to Power. The People were brainwashed ! by such cunning workings playing the people along regardless, They followed !

We have seen such outright Evil created by the Socialist so called Democrats, it's in your face ! Supporting everything that is a disgrace in fact !

So Trump knew and admired Hulk Hogan as did Hulk Hogan Trump ! USA USA USA !

I agree with the posters here that have said that after a death of a friend, family member, or stranger or celebrity, we must tell the truth, we must not compromise the gospel, but neither should we ever reduce the love of God, His grace, and His mercy to a formula or emotionally charged personal desire. His ways are not our ways, His thoughts much higher than ours. It does grate in me when I witness funerals of people I have known, when the pastor or priest declares, "he is in a better place and is looking down on us now with love and not wanting us to grieve etc etc', when the deceased had lived a life devoid of godliness or love for others and had been utterly selfish throughout his life. All that accomplishes is preaching to the unconverted that they can continue in sin and believe they are going to be okay.
Ozzy's mind, even to his own admittance, was fried. Too many drugs, too much alcohol.
But there is always, and I say always, hope. God loves the Osbourne family every bit a much as yours or mine. Even as dysfunctional as they appeared to be. And the above interview reveals a side to Ozzy that to most people would remain a mystery. But to those who know Christ, who understand that such love for the Bible and a real heart felt desire to read and understand it, can only be as a result of the work of the holy Spirit in His life. That cherishing of that gift and the very real desire to show it off as a personal treasure, cannot be faked.
Now for the truth. While God was certainly and without any doubt drawing Ozzy to Himself, and Ozzy willing to run with that as far as he was mentally able to, we cannot be so bold as to declare Ozzy to be heaven bound, but nor can we declare the opposite. We don't know.
One thing I know. When by the grace of God I find myself there, and be out walking and should I bump into Ozzy, I will not question God's judgement, but will certainly question Ozzy, who will by then be in his right mind, and ask him to share his testimony as to how God touched his life.
I think we will be very surprised by many we will discover who made it. And by those who didn't.

What a shame.
Not everyone who comes the name of Jesus has their name on his lips.

When I was a teenager, we thought Ozzy was "IT" No one rocked harder than sabbath. Even to this day their music has a strange draw on my soul. However, let's not mince words. That draw is satanic and is rooted in the flesh. Whatever fate awaits Ozzy, as only the Lord Jesus can judge...we don't want to use him as an example of how to live the Christian life.

The word you're looking for is "good". It was good music. Unlike Christian rock, which is almost entirely flat and lifeless. A little ironic, I think.

Not sure what you are getting at here. Sorry.
I would add that Alice Cooper professes the Christian faith also, aged is credited with leading others to Jesus. And then there's Little Richard. None of them are examples of godly living in Christ. But none of them are beyond the grace and mercy of God.

This post has the potential to turn the topic on its head, but I agree with you. And I've been a Christian for nearly 50 years, and my favourite rock group was Lynyrd Skynyrd. I still listen to them, along with others such as The Outlaws, and Steely Dan. But Christian rock? I don't think they know who they are. A foot in both worlds and not quite pulling it off. Christian rock, to me, is a contradiction in terms. Yes, now and again I enjoy and still listen to the music of my early years. For one reason only. It's 'good' music. And even Lynyrd Skynyrd had some positive things to say in their lyrics. Like in "Simple Man" and "Saturday Night Special".

When someone identifying as Christian thinks,again,this is appropriate for an obituary thread, the disease of sin is thinking it is winning here.


When someone identifying as Christian bloviates catch words related to our faith and then in the same extended breath destroy everything about the gospel in closing their judgemental screed,sin is feeding well here.

It's fat, morbidly obese,and amused. And is far too many in number. One is too many.

God isn't taken seriously. Obviously. And yet, when our enemy waves its talons and says, we're here!

We must pray attention.

The spiritual war we fight isn't over till we're dead.


Now we know why Christian obituary threads draw in the worst darkest replies.

The enemy thinks in this world we are now one less,two less,three less.

He's wrong.

We are Legion.

And unlike his minions,we are eternally winning this fight.

It would be great to tell the dark ones,GO TO HELL!

That would be tardy. Because they're already there.

And they earned it.

There is one thing i do agree with you about this .
That cartoon is wicked in and of itself .
WHY
why on earth would we mock the dead . What kind of joy or mockery would we have
that one will face the wrath of GOD .
Suprise you . You think me the hater .
I cant stand folks that go to funerals
and say things like GOD hates fags and etc
And those who sing songs about anyone roasting in hell . THEY GOT ZERO LOVE from GOD .
But you constantly come after me for CORRECTING . THAT IS A SERIOUS mistake on Your part .
Sin must be exposed . And when folks lip the name of JESUS and yet DO AS I EVEN MYSELF ONCE DID , LOVE MY SIN
THAT DUNG MINDSET has TO BE CORRECTED . they as lost as i once was .
OH YEAH .
You didnt know that about me . I could quoate verbatum the gospel .
Lovey as that is to do , but my problem was I DIDNT EVEN KNOW JESUS
And i am highly fearful you might not either the way you just keep on
coming after men who correct .
I have corrected folks that supported westboro folks .
I seen ladies and men in that group
SINGING with what seemed like joy
about the death of gays and hell fire .
WHAT KIND OF JOY would any christain have in the death of any .
I DONT . ITS WHY I WARN and WARN much of even christendom
who has sucked up this judge not correct not dung pile mindset .
ITS TIME TO CORRECT ALL ERROR
This generation did nothing but pretty much sweep under the carpet all the sins
and said OH NOTHING TO SEE HERE , GOD IS LOVE .
as IF GOD is somehow HONORED OR GLORIFIED BY SIN by REBELLION .
WAKE UP right NOW . YOU cease this stuff .
But yes i do agree with you about that cartoon . ITS EVIL . WHY would any even do a cartoon like that .
BELIEVE ME , IT brings me no joy to even think Ozzy , or even pope francis who i always exposed
awaits a judgment they wont in any way like .
GOD dont desire the death of the wicked , SO WHY WOULD WE .
I DONT .
But apparently YOU DO . because you keep on hammering on men like me
WHO ACTUALLY LOVE THE PEOPLE , SO I CORRECT their errors . THINK and PRAY ABOUT THAT FOR A LONG LONG WHILE .

you have done well in admitting this my friend .
And i am happy to see that you understand the draw is satanic . ITS OUR FLESH .
I used to rock out to some of that music too .
Beware nostalgia it cometh of the flesh .
Any man can be tempted .
BUT you did well to admit this temptation and the fact you know its of satan .
We need to be here for one another .
For it is GOD who works through the members . HE KNOWS how to keep us safe and from falling .
Sadly , however , many seem to attack the men who do correct errors and sins
and act as if WE are somehow the judgmental ones .
MANY have no idea what the LOVE OF GOD even entails .
GOD desires the death of none but rather their repentance,
SO ITS WHY HE WARNS to repent
AND its why we warn To repent as well . LOVE of GOD desires GOOD and not the destruction of one .
but if one heeds not the warnings , if one heeds not the correction
OH THEY GONNA ROAST ALIVE in the lake of fire .
GOD is HOLY RIGHTEOUS AND TRUE as ARE HIS JUDGMENTS .
ALL evil will be destroyed . ALL evil will be destroyed .
GOD cannot deny HIS OWN RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS . BUT HE HAS PROVIDED
the ONE TRUE WAY that humanity can be saved .
But many reject THAT JESUS , many reject Even His words and at best lip his name but follow another jesus .
AND THAT MUST BE CORRECTED . I desire the death of none
And its why i warn so often and so much .

Agreed. When I used to go to church, shortly after I graduated high school, I attended a non-denominational church just down the road from my house. They has a more rock form of worship. Electric guitars, drums, bass, etc.

I ended up really disliking the music. It had no soul. It was light rock with these really corny lyrics. At the time, I didn't know about the different denominations. I assumed there was just Christianity with minor differences between churches. This was a small church that had a similar format and asthetic to the typical American Christian "mega church".

So I assumed that this was all there was to Christian worship. I remember being puzzled by this given who God is supposed to be. You'd think the Christians would come up with something that at least sounds beautiful and inspiring for worship service.
