ECCLESIASTES 11:3

Have you ever wondered what causes people to remember someone differently in death, than what they actually were in life? Do you suppose it is because they too would like the same kindness when it is their turn to die? It is not a question I have an answer to, and the reason for that is because the answer might be somewhat different for each person. However, if that is a human emotion or anomaly, remembering someone differently between life and death, it is not an attribute that is shared by God. Ecclesiastes 11:3 "If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be." Read again the last twenty-two words of that verse... "if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be." Now pay very close attention to the last eleven words of that verse..."in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be."
Of course this is an allegory for dying either as a believer or as an unbeliever. Whatever your state is as you draw your last breath... so shall it ever be like that. The very last message in the Bible states it rather succinctly. Revelation 22:11a "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still..." My point in all of this is that dying does not somehow make anyone a better person than they were in life!
The reason I sat down to type this is because I was watching some people talking about the life of Ted Kennedy and they were talking about him as if he lived a good life. I had to turn it off. Who do they think they were fooling?
He was no better in death than he was in life. I hate what members of the Westboro church does whenever they go to funerals and with their signs they add anguish to people who are attending a funeral. Though I would never do anything as despicable as that, neither would I gloss over the bad things that people did in their life before dying.
Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne: he was an abusive alcoholic, and he was a driving force behind seeing millions of innocent and helpless babies murdered in our country through infanticide! He was not a "good" man in life and dying made him no better... "in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be."
Whenever I say someone is evil, I don't base my belief upon the opinion of some liberal talking-head, I go to the source and I will use their own words or actions to prove it. What follows is just a partial list of Kennedy's voting record to show what a monster he was as far as trying to protect a helpless and innocent un-birthed baby:
Voted NO on defining unborn child as eligible for SCHIP. (Mar 2008)
Voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion. (Mar 2008)
Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Apr 2007)
Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions. (Jul 2006)
Voted NO on criminal penalty for harming unborn fetus during other crime. (Mar 2004)
Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions except for maternal life. (Mar 2003)
Voted NO on maintaining ban on Military Base Abortions. (Jun 2000)
Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions. (Oct 1999)
Voted NO on banning human cloning. (Feb 1998)
Rated 100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record. (Dec 2003)
Expand embryonic stem cell research. (Jun 2004)
As you can see, from long ago to right up until he died his voting record was the same, evil to the core!
Let me ask those of you who say that you are "Christian" just a couple of questions. What does the term "Christian" mean to you? Do you believe that "Christ-like" (or) "like-Christ" would be a fair description? If you believe that would not do the word (Christian) injustice to use it with that understanding then let me ask you something else. How Christ-like do you believe it is for a doctor to dismember a helpless baby while still in his/her mother's womb? Now I never wore a WWJD bracelet: however, apply the sentiment "what would Jesus do" as it relates to killing His own heritage while still in the womb of the baby's mother: then (perhaps) you can see why I believe Kennedy, Obama, Clinton, and most every other Democrat in Washington who regularly writes bills to kill more children are evil deep within their souls.
Whenever I write about people who kill children being evil I am not (always) accusing a girl who made a horrible decision with terrible consequences and had her own baby killed. At least I am not accusing them as long as they sought forgiveness from God and now tries to spread the word about how tragic it is to kill a helpless baby. The ones who I believe are "monsters" are the ones like Obama, Kennedy, etc. who makes it a part of their life's work to keep it legal to see the most helpless among us murdered!
Let me finish this blog with an easy to understand analogy. Lay aside any and all other sin and things we must (upon our death) answer to God for. Keep in mind we are trying to concentrate on only one single subject at this time. If your appointment with death was in the next thirty seconds... then you must face an all-powerful God: would you rather face Him having tried your best to defend and protect helpless un-birthed children, or would you rather face Him with the blood of their little bodies on your hands?
