73 year old Jerry Falwell died this afternoon.
The Southern Baptist minister was found unconscious in his office today and was rushed to Lynchburg General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Ron Godwin, the executive vice president of Falwell’s Liberty University, said Falwell was found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and taken to Lynchburg General Hospital. Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but “he has a history of heart challenges.”
“I had breakfast with him, and he was fine at breakfast,” Godwin said. “He went to his office, I went to mine and they found him unresponsive.”
Falwell was the founder of Lynchburg Thomas Road Baptist Church, The Old Time Gospel Hour, The National Liberty Journal, Liberty University and the Moral Majority.
Jerry Falwell is survived by his wife of 49 years, Macel, his three children; Jerry Falwell, Jr., Jonathan Falwell, Jeannie Falwell Savas and eight grandchildren.

Over 1000 news outlets world wide have picked up this story, yet main Southern Baptist sites such as Baptist Press, SBC Life and Associated Baptist Press have not put anything up on thier sites as yet. Nothing in The Lynchburg Ledger, the Lynchburg News Advance has a retrospective.

Yes, “reviling” is probably too mild a term for some blog posts.
I would like you all to listen to your conscience as you read this. And please answer each question before going to the next. Do not mock lest you be considered what you like to call “close minded”
1. Would you consider yourself to be a good person. (YES OR NO)
2. Do you think you have kept the 10 comandments. If so:
A. Have you ever lied in your life (again think hard and listen to your conscience)
What are you considered (Hint: If I lied what would I be called)
1. The word of God says all liars will have there part in the lake of fire ( Rev 21:8)
B. Have you ever stolen anything in you life (listen to your conscience)
What are you considered (Hint if i stole something what am I)
1. The word of God says thieves will not inherit the kindom of God (1 Corinthians 6:10)
C. Have you ever committed adultery (read the following and again listen to your
conscience) for the word of God states that if a man looks at a woman with lust he has
committed adultery in his heart (Matt 5:28)
What are you considered (Hint: what am I if I were to commit adultery)
1.The word of God says whoever commits adultery destroys himself (Proverbs 6:32)
D. Have you ever murdered anyone (read the following and again listen to your
conscience) the word of God says anyone who hates is a murder (1 John 3:15)
So even if you have hated someone what are you considered
1. The word says you do not have eternal life in you (eternal life being heaven)
(1 John 3:15)
So now if you are being honest with yourself and listening to your conscience you may be one or all of the above: a lying, thieving, adulterous, murderer. Now what does this mean to you. You may not believe in God or an afterlife, or so you say, however the majority in here have condemned this man Jerry Falwell to hell and so you obviously believe there is a hell. With that said, when you die, and you stand before God (whether you believe in Him or not)
would you be innocent or guilty of keeping the 10 commandments. You as I as Jerry Falwell would be considered guilty. Reason is that there is not one righteous among us. The difference between me and alot of you other individuals is that I have confessed my sins and accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, as he died on the cross and rose three days later. Now many if not all of you reading this will scoff saying that Jesus crap means nothing to me and God does not exist. However I mentioned to you to listen to your conscience the knowledge of right and wrong, what the Lord has given you to prove he exists, because your conscience was placed there to guide you daily. Now some of you choose not to listen to this guide, and I pray that one day you will come to listen and understand. Your life may be absolutely perfect now, however our God does not look at each day, he sees your life fom beginning to end and knows that tomorrow may bring sadness or even death. I type this because your days are numbered, and if you don’t know for sure your end, I would be afraid, because that means you are in all likelyhood going to hell. Hell is depicted as a place of fire and torment, however more than that it is a place of rememberance, as you will know forever that you had opportunities to go to heaven and you chose not to. So I again pray your hearts soften to receive the Lord as your Savior. If at all you wish to come to know the Lord and ultimately allow the Lord Jesus to save your soul from eternal damnation (hell) then pray this prayer:
Dear Lord, I ask that you forgive me of my sins, and cleanse me from my unrighteousness. Lord from this day forward I repent and turn away from those things that are displeasing to you and embrace the fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross for me and my sins and rose three days later. AMEN
If you prayed this and actually meant it (again listen to your conscience) your name has been written on the lambs book of life and you have been accepted into the kingdom of God (heaven)
If you are fully skeptical and think this is a huge hoax, I understand your doubt, however I plead with you to reconsider as you are playing russian roulette with your soul.
From here purchase a Bible if you do not have one and if you do read it and apply it’s teachings to your life. This is because the Bible is (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)
