Deviled Hen
2 Timothy 4:5-8
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Thanks for the reference!
I'm a little confused by this, Rev. A crown of righteousness is a metaphysical spiritual thing, where jewels can be mistaken for a material one (as Mister T alluded to earlier).
Not like I really thought you meant the material version anyway. I was just a bit confused about where the "jeweled" part came from, as I didn't recall where that particular reference came from. (Maybe a different translation, for all I know.)
Still, why do you assume that Falwell would necessarily get such a reward? You sound very certain. Falwell called himself an evangelist, certainly, and many considered him an evangelist, but surely you realize there are many Christians even who thought of him more as more a detriment to the faith than an asset.
And as I think you pointed out yourself, not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" shall enter the Kingdom.
God alone is sure of his fate.
My 2 cents, anyway.
