Ok so I was going to do a inspirational yet informative post about natural hair today. But the word fail me to do so. I have literally grown up with Micheal Jackson. I remember watching the Thriller video on MTV at the age of 3. I would watch Moonwalker every Friday in elementary school. I would sleep in a MJ shirt that my dad passed down to me from the Bad concert. What would the world be like without Micheal Jackson? I know people around the world are in tears.
My prayers and heart go out to his family. Most of all I pray his soul was saved.
I'm adding this in response to one of the comments on this post. This is an expression of MY FAITH and not a debate so don't take it as such. I ask if you have different beliefs to be tolerant of others belief system and don't use terms such as "saved mess". Its offensive and disrespectful to that person.
I do not claim any denominations. I'm pure christian my religion is have a relationship/friendship with Jesus Christ and I never shy away from an opportunity to share my faith. What does it mean to be saved? The dictionary defines salvation as
1. the act of saving or protecting from harm, risk, loss, destruction, etc.
2.the state of being saved or protected from harm, risk, etc.
3.a source, cause, or means of being saved or protected from harm, risk, etc.
4. Theology. deliverance from the power and penalty of sin; redemption.
As a christian, my belief is that we are all sinners and Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God and he died and was risen from the dead to give eternity life to all who believe.
"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
To be save is to have eternal life with God in Heaven. So yes I prayer that Micheal Jackson was save but nobody but him and God can say yay or nay. My prayers of his salvation have not dampen my prayer for his family's peace and comfort in this bereavement.
As christian, I am at fault because these prayers come too late. I should have been praying while he was yet alive. From this experience I have learn to pray for my brother and my sister while they are yet on this earth. I urge you if it is in your faith to do the save.
Blessings
