"Only God Knows If Michael Jackson In

Jul 1, 2009 10:04 PM
"Only God Knows If Michael Jackson In His Private Moments Of Life Accepted Jesus As LORD And SAVIOUR"

But My Advice To You Is: "Do It Openly Today"

"Our Bodies Are Like Time Bombs,
We Never Know When They Will Explode, Although We Can Sometimes Appear So Healthy"

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. King James Version

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. King James Version

John 3:1-7
3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
King James Version

• This Excerpt Was Taken From www.christianpress.com
• Jackson reached out to Gospel artist Andrae Crouch and minister sister in final days

• “Andrae and Sandra did in fact visit with Michael Jackson two times, once at the recording studio, and once at his home in the last two months, as recently as three weeks ago, asking for prayer concerning the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and how he could make his music more ‘spiritual,’” noted Crouch’s Facebook administrator.
• “So Andrae and Sandra explained to him about the anointing and about Jesus. He wanted to know what makes your hands go up, and makes you ‘come out of yourself,’ and what gives a ‘spirituality’ to the music? He then requested to hear his favorite song that he loves and wanted then to sing to him, so they...joined hands and sang together, and he said, ‘it was beautiful.’ He first heard it in New York, and loved it and wanted it on tape. He had the engineer tape the song sang to him by Andrae and Sandra. He definitely had an encounter with them.”
• As to whether or not the legendary singer had prayed to receive Christ, through his spokesman Crouch responded: “He did NOT reject Jesus or the prayer when (we) prayed, and gladly joined in prayer.”

NICODEMUS
Nicodemus was a wealthy, educated and powerful man-well respected by his people and a descendant of the patriarch Abraham. Yet Jesus said to him, "You must be born again" (John 3:7). The Greek adverb translated again can also mean "from the beginning" (suggesting a new creation) and "from above" (that is, from God). In other words Jesus told Nicodemus that physical generation was not enough, nor could his descent from the line of Abraham enable him to be saved. Only as a person has a spiritual generation-a birth from above-will he be able to see the kingdom of God.

The next time Nicodemus appears in the Gospel of John, he shows a cautious, guarded sympathy with Jesus. When the Sanhedrin began to denounce Jesus as a false prophet, Nicodemus counseled the court by saying, "Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?" (John 7:51).

Nicodemus appears a third and final time in the Gospel of John. Obviously a wealthy man, he purchased about a hundred pounds of spices to be placed between the folds of the cloth in which Jesus was buried (John 19:39). Nothing else is known of Nicodemus from the Bible. But there is reason to believe that he became a follower of Jesus.

I sincerely hope he did get saved before he died. That would've been the only true peace he'd ever recieved in this life.

His brother, Jermaine, (who is Muslim) said it is in Allah's hands now.

Michael had plenty of opportunity to make choices. This should be a wake up call for all. It would be a shame for all that talent to be gone forever. Forever is a long time.

Well, it should be a wake up call. Ed McMahon was pretty old, he wasn't a suprise, but F.F was 62, M.J. was 50, B.M. was 50, David Carradine--I don't know, but he wasn't elderly, so you wouldn't have expected him.

Some people ignore it, though and keep right on going, never thinking it could happen to them.

Ecclesiastes 9:5
For the living know that they will die, but the dead
know nothing; they have no further reward, and
even the memory of them is forgotten.



May His great Name grow exalted and sanctified
in the world that He created as He willed.
May He give reign to His kingship in your lifetimes and in your days,
and in the lifetimes of the entire Family of Israel,
swiftly and soon. Now say:
Amen.

May His great Name be blessed forever and ever.
Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled,
mighty, upraised, and lauded be the Name of the Holy One
Blessed is He.
beyond any blessing and song,
praise and consolation that are uttered in the world. Now say:
Amen

May there be abundant peace from Heaven
and life upon us and upon all Israel. Now say:
Amen

He Who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace,
upon us and upon all Israel. Now say:
Amen

1 Corinthians 15:13
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then
not even Christ has been raised.



Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
But to be young was very heaven.


– William Wordsworth


But however memory brings back this moment to your
minds, let it be able to say to you: That was a great
moment. It was the beginning of a new era.

that's what I thought--is that the same as a Christian?

would'nt it have been wild to have had Michael Jackson go around like the Jehovas do and have shown up at your door?! WOW!

I'd have invited HIM in!

There is little doubt that the great truth, the life of glory, has been obscured; that in the early Church Christians lived more in the realization of that heavenly citizenship which is not a mere future reward, but a present possession. It is very evident that such a grasp of our communion and fellowship with the Church Triumphant in the mystical Body of Christ must be of immense help to us not only in bearing the toil and sorrow of our exile here, but in imparting to our prayers, devotions, and especially to our acts of public worship, an intense reality and uplifting power.

It is also certain that the true doctrine of the Eucharist implies this; as St. Gregory says, "What faithful soul can have a doubt but that at the very moment of the immolation, at the voice of the priest, the heavens are opened, in that mystery of Jesus Christ the choirs of angels are present, the lowest are united with the highest, earthly things are joined with heavenly, and things visible and invisible become one''

Proverbs 13:22
A good man leaves an inheritance for
his children's children, but a sinner's
wealth is stored up for the righteous.


so the courts will decide the disposition of MJ's wealth and for comparison they will dispose of Bernie Madoff's as well. doesn't matter what either man believed or didn't believe except as far as they treated other people as they lived. much testimony has been given about both men and that's all there is to being a "witness".



John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.



We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Psalm 2:7
I will declare the decree: the LORD
hath said unto me, Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee.



If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band

I've known a few Jehovah's Witnesses. They have their own view of Christianity plus their own version of the Bible. Whenever one would come to our door, hubby would really enjoy mixing it up with them. They eventually stopped coming.

I've read that they don't celebrate any holidays, including Christmas.

Also, I think they've got something against surgery or blood transfusions, something, I can't remember. Anyway, that kinda goes against M.J.'s dealings with the pastic surgery.

How could Michael have been a "true" Christian who followed the teachings of Jesus?

the little bit I know about Christianity is that you are supposed to live your life HUMBLY--and eschew an overabundance of money

He certainly did'nt live that way

The Apostle Paul tells people who are not rich in money to "Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others" (1 Timothy 6:17,18).

Just checked and they don't believe in blood transfusions. Said nothing on the site about not believing in surgery.

Jeremiah 1:4-10
The word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

"Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."

But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.

Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."



Isaiah 11:6
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with
the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and
a little child will lead them.




You and I must make a pact,
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you,
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there

I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you,
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be there to protect you,
With an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and I'll be there

"Quality is a direct experience independent of and
prior to intellectual abstractions."

Ecclesiastes 10:19
A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes life
merry, but money is the answer for everything.


Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be
content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."



Psalm 22:1
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning?



“Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavor to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world. His success would terrify the artist; he would rush away from his odious handiwork, horror-stricken.”
