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.
God loves THE WORLD and its why HE SENT the SON
Seeing GOD desires the death of none
WE should desire the death of none .
ITS THE FRUITS we need to examine . MANY people can stand and say
THEY LOVE THE BIBLE , THEY LOVE JESUS THEY LOVE GOD
but what do their fruits say ........
many come to another image of what THEY desired to see as GOD as CHRIST .
Even joel osteen himself was often heard
saying THIS IS THE BIBLE as he held it very high in his hand before EVERY sermon .
BUT GOOD NIGHT , what followed from his lips
PROVED HE NEITHER LOVED OR KNEW TRUTH < GOD , CHRIST .
FRUIT TIME . We can holler all day GOD LOVES
but GOD DONT LOVE REBELLION , GOD DONT LOVE SIN
AND what is the ONE thing GOD has always hated above all .
ANY GUESSES
ITS THE MIDDLE ROAD , those who lipped HIS NAME , USED HIS NAME
but my goodness they darn sure had ZERO LOVE FOR HIM , fOR HIS WORDS , FOR THE TRUTH .
REMEMBER when i said ITS INFILTRATED all realms , all denominations . OH IT HAS .
The key leaders of all denominations known to man
HAVE SOLD their flocks OUT . i can see it brake lite .

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 .
Scream!

Self-Righteous arrogant hypocrisy doesn't have a right to judge me.

You condemn over and over a dead Christian.

That's pathetic. Again. And again.

And then you have the gall to judge those who don't.

Keep showing your real colors.

It's biblically educational.

Your taste in music changes when you are saved.
When truly saved your listening habits will change.

Some music will make you sick.
Question your salvation if you still love secular rock music.

We are in the world but not of the world.
We can judge them by their fruits. And we are instructed to judge righteously.

Ask the Lord: "Where is this music coming from?"
Some might sing about Jesus, but is it anointed by the Holy Spirit?

Ask yourself: What kind of spirit is behind the music?

There are three kinds of music.

1. Of satan, by satan, for satan.
2. Of God, by God, for God.
3. Of man, by man, for man.

And some "Christian" entertainment music is a way of making money and not anointed by the Holy Spirit.

Those playing God and judging *zzy should realize,they're not fit for that job.

Meanwhile,their demonstrating what they have in their heart in the process. It isn't grace or class.

It's pathetic.
What’s truly “pathetic” is acting like every soul automatically goes to Heaven just to protect people’s feelings. That kind of silence leads others straight to hell.

When a celebrity passes on like Ozzy Osbourne, the public responds in two familiar ways. Either, “May he rest in peace,” or “Now he is in a better place.” Neither response is based on Scripture. Not everyone who dies goes to Heaven. That’s not mean, that’s just true. Let’s be real. Ozzy has spent his entire life exalting darkness through music which is full of demonic energy, rebellion, and blasphemy. “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them,” says the Bible (Ephesians 5:11). “Woe unto them that call evil good,” says Isaiah 5:20.

We have no public record of his repentance or belief in the true gospel. A changed life reflects a changed heart (2 Corinthians 5:17). “They that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh,” says Galatians 5:24. Ozzy’s life is not a testimony of the fruit of the Spirit, it is a long history of sin. Jesus also said those who lead others into sin will receive the greatest judgment (Luke 17:2).

Life is not a game. This is not hate. It is truth. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment,” says Hebrews 9:27. There is no peace for the one who dies without Christ. Only eternal separation from God. Unless Ozzy Osbourne truly repented of his sins before his death, there is no biblical reason to think that he went to Heaven when he died.

No matter how much someone loved them, how famous they were, or how many “RIP” comments people post, no one gets into Heaven because people want them there. Salvation is not a popularity contest. It comes through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone. If someone dies without Christ, no amount of wishful thinking will change their eternal destiny. “He that believeth not shall be damned” (Mark 16:16). God decides, not you. So stop trying to rewrite the gospel to comfort the living, start preaching it so others don’t end up lost.

If Ozzy was truly saved thru the Regeneration of the Holy Spirit, he would of denounced his dark past.

On July 5, 2025 Ozzy puts on another dark concert that is contrary to the Light of Christ.

As a christian, his last concert should of been renouncing the past and glorifying God.

2 Timothy 2:19 - Yet God's solid foundation stands unmoved, bearing this inscription, "The Lord knows those who really belong to Him."
And this also, "Let every one who names the Name of the Lord renounce all wickedness."

Well,I'll tell ya,you and others here can think you're Christian and feel assured you'll see heaven as you think you're entitled to judge who won't be there with you.

You and others here play God.

And then you think to go higher. As if you're entitled. In holding a dead man's sins against him! When GOD REMEMBERS THEM NO MORE!

Since some of you hypocrites like to scream,there you go.

Because,and you'll have to look this up, Jesus said,those who call on the name of the Lord and profess faith in him as Savior ARE SAVED!

So,you and those like you stand in and claim that's not so.


And later,see what God has to say to you about that!


How dare you think you have a righteous right to tell anyone you can claim John wasn't known by name by Christ.

And then think you're righteous to do so.


You're NOT!

John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne was an English singer, songwriter, and media personality. He co-founded the heavy metal band Black Sabbath in 1968, and rose to prominence in the 1970s as its lead vocalist. During this period, he adopted the nickname "Prince of Darkness". The band pioneered heavy metal music, particularly with their critically-acclaimed albums Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Master of Reality. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to his problems with alcohol and other drugs.

@pandaflower, did John give testimony of how Christ saved him from his sins in his last concert?


It is far better for us and the world to renounce the works of darkness then to be promoting it.

Because most people don't believe in this stuff anymore. The idea that God puts people into an eternal torture chamber, for which there is no escape, is at odds with a divine deity that loves his creation.

16Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?

17So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

18He said to Him, “Which ones?”

Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’
19‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

20The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”

21Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Keep it up.

On forums calling someone aiar when they say they're Christian is against the rules.

In a Christians obituary thread on a Christian forum,at least on this one, it's OK to do so.

You're not exposing darkness.

You're breeding it in this thread.


Shame on you.

God said have nothing to do with such as those.

Same as HE knows for all of us = Jeremiah 17:9-10

“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.

Actually,if you read those who hate John,you'll see they're not scripturally sound or respectful.

They're trolling. There's more than one,as we see.

God knows,we don't do that.

If you feed the darkness it will feel satisfied its breeding itself in a place is working to make you meet it where it is.


Don't do that.

Let the dark starve for attention.

And then answer to God.

John was also Baptized. And attended church regularly.

His stage persona was his job. He always denied he was in any way affiliated with Satanism.

He professed Christ and,though haters will deny this is true, Black Sabbath members prayed before every show.

No! Not to Satan.

Hate condemns a Christian here.

Unconcerned as to how it makes Evangelism look.
