Bible Note: Tell me if this is an example of what you're talking about. My bil had cancer and was dying. He and my sister were raised Cath. but never went to church since they were married, they drank a half gal of whiskey every other day and smoked a carton of cigs about the same, I have seen them go thru a carton in a day before-he had throat cancer. Anyway, I tried witnessing to them many times, gave them tapes to listen to, etc but they were never interested. Then when I knew he was dying, I tried again and he seemed more receptive, tried hard to get them both saved and they both did say that they had prayed the prayer. But at the same time, some friends of his father kept after them to come back to the church too. I tried to tell them that the church doesn't save, only Jesus. When he died, he had a Cath burial, they even wrapped the rosary around his hands, the same hands that only held booze and smokes! I doubt Mark would know how to even pray the rosary unless they taught it to him at the end. Then my sister said she was saved too back then, ut maybe they were just telling me to shut me up. When Mark died, Cathy went into depression nat. but it's been almost 3 yrs, she about chain smokes, still drinks like usual, cusses terribly. She just doesn't act any different than she's always acted. I think these are good examples of those that claimed to have accepted but never did really? |
