Last night, after work, My wife and I were watching an autobiography on A&E about Chris Farley. It is no secret what he died from and after the show, my wife asked me what I thought about where he possibly ended up (heaven or hell). The interesting thing is that it was very hard to come up with a definitive answer for a few reasons.
The first obvious reason is that I am not God and am not that qualified to make that sort of a decision. The next couple of reasons are the ones I wanted to concentrate on in this thread. From the testimony of who the show claimed to be his very close friends and family, Mr. Farley was a very devout religious person who tooks things such as God, prayer, and family very seriously and I have no good reasons for doubting their testimony. What is not so much of a secret is that just as who he idolized, John Bilushy(I may have spelled the last name wrong), he was very heavily into drugs, alcohol, and promiscuity which can logically be stated to be the direct cause of his ultimate physical demise, which was very unfortunate. Another thing that was interesting was the great effort put forth by his friends and family to help him kick those habits that eventually led to his death. According to thier testimonies, he genuinely showed remorse for engaging in those things and had "quit" or "repented" of them many times but also struggled with them constantly.
I found myself feeling very sorry for the man and wanting to say that he ended up in heaven but could not state it without a shadow of a doubt especially when looking at it from a Biblical prospective. So I thought that it would be a good discussion for here to see what the general consesus would be. The thing I would be worried about most is the implication of his ending up in heaven being that one could think that they could basically do as they please thoughout their life and as long as they genuinely felt remorse over it and "repented" of it they could still end up in heaven. I have some other things I could state about it but would like to get some input about it first. So, what say you about Chris Farley and where he ended up; Heaven or Hell and why?
Sincerely,
