Elizabeth Edwards Dies in North Carolina

Just one day after the family announced Elizabeth Edwards’ cancer treatment had run its course, the news out of North Carolina is that the 61-year-old estranged wife of former U.S. Sen. John Edwards succumbed to her illness and passed away Tuesday afternoon. WRAL reports:
Edwards died at her Chapel Hill home, where family and friends had gathered in recent days after doctors informed her that her cancer had spread and recommended that she not undergo further treatment.
Edwards was first diagnosed with cancer in the waning days of the 2004 presidential campaign, when her husband, then-U.S. Sen. John Edwards, was the Democratic nominee for vice president. The couple didn’t disclose her illness until after the election.
The cancer went into remission after surgery and months of treatment, but it resurfaced in early 2007, as John Edwards was mounting a second run at the White House. The Edwardses agreed at the time that they wouldn’t allow the cancer to derail his candidacy.
Because the cancer had moved into her bones, her doctors said at that time that it was no longer curable but could be treated.

If she was not a born again Christian then she is indeed in hell right now. I am reading a lot of “God has another angel” type comments, and I understand the need to try and convey Christian sympathy, but I also think it is vitally important for everyone to realize that if she was not a Christian then she is not with God now. That is fact, even though it is a hard one.
I also want to note that I am NOT commenting on her fate, I have no way to know what her faith was. But we are known by our fruits and some of her fruits were dubious at best. But then again we are all sinners and all prone to folly. I can only pray that she knew her Lord and Savior.

after spending 13 years in catholic schools, including the last 3 in a seminary, i have come to realize the christ is a moderate person, a healer. he most certainly isn’t a vengeful demon as you portray him.
you are the one who needs the prayers. prayers to get the hatred out of your soul.
trolltrainer
Posted on December 7, 2010 at 8:54pmCalijohn,
Yes, the poor guy in the rain forest and the Buddhist are condemned, as are you, and me! We are ALL condemned to hell! You got that right.
The only way out is Christ. Salvation is by faith alone. I find it interesting that you spent 3 years in seminary and yet you do not capitalize the title of the Christ! But I agree with all that you say about Him. He is a healer and is certainly not a vengeful demon as you claim I portray Him. I would never do that. But you need to study your Bible more carefully because it unequivocally says that the only way to the Father is through the Son.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
I could go on…You can believe what you like, the fact that you accept much of the Catholic doctrine tells me that you are willing to add on to Scripture…I am not going to argue that here, I was also raised a Catholic and my parents remain Catholic. They believe in salvation through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that is sufficient. I believe in Sola Scriptura. I also believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible as dictated by the Chicago Statement on Bible Inerrancy. It seems pretty simple to me, and there is no doubt what the Bible says about this. Jesus made it clear to Nicodemus in John 3 what it took for salvation:
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
That, my friend, is as plain as it can get! Belief in anything contrary to Christ’s own words is to your own peril!

What is an “alleged” Christian? One that does not agree with your warped theology? ;-)
As for my part, I can judge Elizabeth Edwards on what she stood for and how she lived her life as a public figure. Am I rejoicing in the thought of anyone going to hell? Lord no, that is why I am beating my Bible and proselytizing here! I do not want there to be ANY mistakes at what the Bible actually tells us. It is one thing to be an atheist and not believe in God, I can respect that and while I will preach the gospel to them initially, I will tend to back off sooner with them. But for a believer to think that there is any other way to heaven other than Christ is heresy and MUST be corrected! That is more important than Elizabeth Edward’s death. She is gone as we all will be one day. It is too late for her, she made her choice one way or the other. I do not claim to know where she is at now, for all I know she was a good Christian despite whatever else she did with her life. But it is beside the point, she has now reached her destination. What is more important is reaching living, breathing people that still have the chance to accept the free gift of salvation that Christ offers. If this offends you then so what? You will not be the first person I have offended and you certainly will not be the last. That is of no consequence when we are talking about eternal life…or suffering…

Posted on December 8, 2010 at 7:20amI don’t think anyone here is rejoincing in anyone going to hell. But there is a reality that I think a lot of people are ignorant to and that is that many people are going to hell–unfortunately.
And what Trolltrainer is talking about, whether people find it offensive or not, is how there is only 1 way to avoid going to hell and that coincides with the one way to get into the Kingdom of God–and that’s by salvation through Jesus Christ.
It doesn’t matter if you choose to believe that or not–it is what it is– and it’s the only way, because the one true God said so. We all will one day come to that reality when we die and I hope for everyone’s sake they accept this truth in their own lives. I certainly would not wish hell on anyone.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 5:41pmI don’t understand why this needs to be breaking news. Elizabeth Edwards remained out of the public spotlight throughout most of John Edward’s career, including his unimpressive campaign for the office of President. The only time she really made headline news was when John was being naughty. Her privacy was respected then, and should be now as well. So with no disrespect to a lady I know nothing about, I see no relevant breaking news. God Bless her, and everyone else who lives and dies. Rah Rah Rah, we announced a death. That‘s all I’m hearing.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 7:21pmIt is called compassion. It is about caring that yet another person has succumbed to a terrible disease that has left her family hurting. It is enough to know that she was a fellow human being. She represents one of hundreds that passed away today from cancer. There are hundreds of hurting people out there, fighting, in some cases, a losing battle; just most of them don’t have a public persona. Elizabeth Edwards is a someone. That is why it matters.

When we stop having compassion for our political opponents, they cease to be merely “opponents”, and become “enemies”. The path to the Obama side, that is, hmmm?
Others have commented on Elizabeth Edwards’ assistance to the Clintons and in other less-than-savory political enterprises. Fair enough… She, like many of us I suspect, was capable of poor judgment, deception, even outright wrongdoing. And she will be judged for all of that, I’m sure… But not by me. No matter that I disagreed with her about just about everything ideologically, politically or what have you… She had many fine qualities and suffered in this world with dignity and a certain degree of integrity. And she was a human being, and from what I can ascertain, a good mother and exceptional partner, and an example of grace under pressure in an age full of shallowness, whining, and sanctimony.
She deserves respect, and sympathy, and that’s all there is to say.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 7:55pmDid anyone else notice she never mentioned God as being one of sources of strength? Her three “sustaining graces” were her family, friends, and a faith in the power of hope and resilience. WTF! I don’t even know what that is. I feel bad for her kids and all but the Left is Godless.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 8:15pmlonghorn mama.. do you THINK that if she mentioned GOD that the left would have reported it/? IF she didn’t look to him for comfort that was her decision.. some are angry with him when things like this happen while others turn to him..how she felt and whom was her comfort are between her and her GOD..Right now my prayers are for her and her family she was a strong lady that went through a lot in her life..May God take mercy on her.. and welcome her into his kingdom so she can be with her son..

Report Post »The quote was from E.E.’s last facebook post so no Left twist on the reporting. And as these are her deathbed words essentially, I feel she denied God in the end. Do I know this absolutely? No. But is it a good guess? Yes.

Posted on December 8, 2010 at 6:56amThe only was God.. capital G and capital H when speaking about Him, will have mercy on her soul, is if she went through Jesus Christ to get to Him, because that’s the only way to reach God—through His son. Otherwise, she will not be in His kindgom. I hope for her sake, she is.
