I hope that his way of living will be as forgiving in GODS eyes as it is to man. I like Bernie , but honestly making a living using the filth that came out his mouth i’m sure enraged our GOD. Now we can sugar coat it all we what, but the bible doesn’t excuse sin if you are a millionare.Sorry folks i know i will be bashed . Don’t question me question the word.

All Chicagoans around the city is in mourning. It’s like losing an uncle or some funny member of your family. There were like 10,000 people that came to the funeral to see Bernie one last time. Even the mayor of Chicago was there. DL Hugley was crying and stuff. (I heard that the only one of the Kings he was real closed to was Ced…but I wont harp on that now.
Bernie was a legend. Every part he played in a movie was funny, even if the movie itself wasnt good, his part was. *****ody will be able to take his place. He will be missed….

Just like most of us go out err’day and do a job, Bernie Mac was doing his job! he swore like a sailor, “IT WAS HIS JOB”!..I never bash anybody! who is a believer! but that man was doing his job people! I went to a Kings of Comedy show back when they all toured! and a woman in the audience felt the need to go to mgmnt and tell them she thought the language coming outta their moouths were offensive, one of the comedian’s came out and talked to the crowd, and said they respect anyone who is christian, but don’t knock them for doing their jobs, if the language was offensive leave the show!

Read your Bible,Ms K two of the disciples, James and John cussed and fought. Jesus still used them as his disciples. I never read a scripture were HE urged them to change before they could follow HIM. I’m can’t speak on what God thought about Bernie. I don’t go to comedy shows were I know the language is going to be something I won’t enjoy, that’s common sense. But I loved his TV show and he made every movie he was in memorable for me. I’m really grieving him.

THE REASON SO MANY PEOPLE DO WRONG IS BECAUSE WE PUT EVERYONE IN HEAVEN WHEN THEY DIE. EVERY RAPPER, GANG BANGER, DRUG DEALER VIDEO HO ECT. IF THIS OFFEND YOU THEN MAYBE YOU NEED TO SOUL SEARCH .

it’s just comforting to know that bernard has been properly laid to rest, now perhaps the ***** riding can come to a dignified end. We all loved bernie, but lets not behave as if the man was our father or like we were close. Respects have been paid but everytime someone famous dies (I see you princess diana) Mu*****as get beside themselves flocking to the funeral proceedings making shrines n *****, people IF YOU DID NOT KNOW THE MAN THEN THERE IS A WORD FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING, crazy. You don’t know *****ody, why are you crying for this man? because he was famous? if he was a janitor you didn’t know would you feel as strongly about his death? sad.

Ms. K… Romans 6:23 “the wages of sin is death…” Bernie Mac, and anyone else including yourself will have your sins paid for by your death. It matters not what he said or how he lived at this point, he is gone. Don’t forget: “he (or she) who is without sin, cast the first stone” John 8:7. I don’t know about any of you, but I sin daily, so I choose not to judge others, but I do try to live my life as honorably as possible. R.I.P. Bernie.

@ Ms. K
I do have a respectful question for you. How do you know he didn’t go to heaven? If prayed and asked for fogiveness and confessed his sin on his deathbed then God forgave him, correct? I am fairly young in my spirituality and this is the impression I have been given. So if I am wrong, please forgive me. All I am saying is none of us here know those last moments for him. How do you know that wasn’t what happened and that he wasn’t forgiven?

@Ms. K
“EVERY ONE ONLY WANT TO PROMOTE THE GLAMOUR WITHOUT TELLING OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE GLAMOUR.SAYING THAT IF YOU LIVE A SINFUL LIFE AND DIE IN THE MIDST OF YOUR SIN THEN YOU WILL GO TO HELL” then “THROWING STONES IS TO SAY HE IS GOING TO HELL.I’M NOT SAYING THAT.I’M NOT GOD NOR ARE YOU. I WAS SAYING THAT THE FILTH THAT CAME FROM HIS MOUTH WAS NOT PLEASING IN GOD EYE SIGHT.”
Which is it? Is he going to hell or not? You contradicted yourself here. Again I believe that “the wages of sin is death”. Leave all the rest for God to decide. Keep track of your own sins, first “remove the Rafter in your own eye before you remove the straw from your brother’s eye”. I read and have read my bible, as you have, I just choose to believe that God is a forgiving God that “desires none to be destroyed, but that all attain everlasting life.” I don’t like the doom and gloom outlook that many people spin when it comes to the scriptures.

Let’s pray for him that he’s promised a place in Eternity. Hopefully is not too late for that. In recent times, you’d notice you’ve been hearing of people dying and the news leaving you baffled as you struggle to grasp the its validity.
Please people this just tells us that we could be next and when that time comes are we going to be at peace with it, knowing that we have a place in eternity or are we going to be doomed. Accept Christ today and live for him, for in him there’s peace, there’s hope and there’s truth and inward joy not supplied by wealth or pretentious friends.
Try it.
May He rest in Peace and May God accept him in his fold.

@ miss k
according to your christian faith, aren’t all sins forgiven? come on do you think that GOD is really up there keeping score?
lela
8/18/08, 18:44:pm
Ms K, you hang in there. The one who said, “Who knows if Bernie had a deathbed confession,” is exactly right. Bernie knew he was very ill. Sam Jackson said how worried he was about Bernie when they were shooting “Soul Men” in February. Bernie lucked up with a lengthy illeness instead of sudden death like Rick James or Isaac Hayes. He had a chance to ask for forgiveness. I suspect that Bernie probably had a conversation with God before he left here. But we will never know, not on this side of the veil. We can grieve the man and feel bad for his loved ones left behind. However, God is a just God and He is not to be mocked. You can’t just act a fool and figure on going to heaven. Is there a heaven for g? Yes, indeed. It’s called hell. (if that g has not repented, which means turned away from sin, not just apologized because he was caught) God offers forgiveness, but only if somebody asks for it in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ who said “*****ody gets to The Father but by Me.” (slight paraphrase) I believe that we have a lot of debate over what our hearts already know to be truth because we want to excuse sinful behavior. Actually staring death in the face clears up excuses the same as a pistol held to the head will sober up a drunk person. So until or unless we get that sobering call of death, we’ll keep going around and around about what is sin, does God really judge, don’t all people go to heaven regardless of their conduct on earth and all the rest. God bless and keep all of you. I really mean that.

Close, but not quite. We do not all get an automatic p***** into heaven. That is why there is the judgment. God does not “keep score” so to speak, but if you do not turn your life over to Him truly and fully, then you will reap the consequences.
“don’t all people go to heaven regardless of their conduct on earth and all the rest” is a scary sentence… Then what is the point of repentance?? What is the point of living a God-fearing life?? Why not drink, and do drugs, rape, plunder and steal if one is guaranteed entry into heaven??
RIP BERNIE MAC!!

The 1st thing that comes to mind is how Bernie said that he’s with his 1st wife & doesn’t have any outside kids. Although he was a very funny man this is what I will remember most about B. Mac. In that regard he appeared to be a true family man which to me makes him a role model & a real man. r.i.p & condolences to those close to him.

We all have to get right with God because we don’t know the day or the hour. We must be ready.I believe in Heaven and Hell. And I know that the wages of sin is death. We all fall short and God is willing to forgive us. I hope that Bernie Mac repented before he died.He had time. I am sure he made it.
When Heath Ledger died, I was sad,very sad because I saw him in a dark isolated place. Don’t know exactly why I saw him there.

We cant even just say RIP and move on. We have to have something to say about every damn thing. I dont care if what you’re saying is religious or not. Say RIP and leave everything else in another lane.

Before Bernie Mac p*****ed, Steve Harvey stated on his radio show that although he had met Mac, he didn’t “know him”, “know him”.(This was during the Mac/Obama uproar. And I’m sure that was Harvey’s way of distancing himself from the comic.) A week later, Mac dies and the media is making it out like Harvey was Mac’s best friend. Steve also said that he was, “just about to visit Mac”, right before he had heard of his demise. Nevermind that Mac had been in Northwestern Hospital for 2 weeks already. Steve Harvey is full of ‘ish. Just hope everyone knows this.

and other thing why is everybody sitting around being his judge and jury you should pray that he repented no one can say if anyone is going to heaven or hell and dont worry he wont beat you there where ever hes going because ssing as we are all equals we will be judged on the same day, yeah he sinned but cant *****ody say they havent, it is so rude and disrespectful for normal people just like he was to debate on his fate because *****ody knows where they are going because *****ody is GOD it is a pure sin to judge so where does that leave you all?
