The Bible clearly shows us that time is of no consequence or barrier with God.

You sound like one of those who got paid the same wage as the man who came in the last hour of the day. You can't stand the fact that God would put the last, first.

I'm surprised that an opinion could make you so flaming angry. Did you not see the words, "I do not believe in death-bed repentance...?"

Having an opinion with which you disagree would cause you to become so inflamed with animosity that you would start calling me names? You must be having a very difficult time in life.

It's people like you that develop into the Scribes and Pharisees of old. Mercy is lost at the expense of your spiritual arrogance and self worth.

Apprehended, your ideas that reflect a lack of compassion for people who are dying is the result of spending too much time in front of a mirror.

You need to hold a few more dying people in your arms. Countless young men and women gave their life for you on a foreign battlefield, and some of them cried out to God for the first time while gasping for a final breath.

Call me what you will, but I believe God hears these utter cries when people die.

Wow!!!!!!!!

Your anger is bursting forth like a an uncontrollable flame. That's uncalled for. Opinions do not change became someone else loses control of themselves. Calm down.

You are confusing anger with passion. You can dish it out, but you can't take it and this is why you’re so disturbed by my comments. Your doctrine or creed needs severe scrutiny, as you boldly put words into God's mouth about who makes it, and who doesn't.

Like I said, the Scribes and Pharisees in action here as you condemn the weak and unfortunate. You're counting your coin, and you're bitter that the last guy who came in got paid just as much as you. These are your words;

I do not believe in death-bed salvation. Repentance is a life-style which cannot simply be a change of mind from immediate compulsion.

By saying this, you are putting God in your box, your idea, and your prison of Faith. You are stating that a person cannot admit guilt and shame in the final moments of their life and expect God's pardon.

If Jesus can save a Thief once, he can save a Thief a million times.

You're hurling humanity into Hell Fire by your idea or seize on Scripture, when you have no idea what happens to people after they die. You've never been there, so stop your spectral observation and just admit that you don't know. Apprehended, none of us know.

A cure for you might be a visit to your local Rest Home. Paul said, pure and undefiled Religion is if we’ll visit the fatherless and the widow in their affliction. Go sit by some bedsides where people have been left to die, where they are lonely, and their bodies have no strength left. You may stir a realm of compassion in your soul that will truly make a difference in this World, and you may have the privilege of holding the hand of a person who cries to God like the Thief on the cross.
