Is There ‘Heated Rhetoric’ in the Afterlife?

The morning after a much-hyped SOTU address, Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson asks psychic-medium John Edward if the hereafter is free from the “heated rhetoric” that haunts our current political discourse. (Spoiler Alert! According to Mr. Edward, we don’t argue after we die.)

Next time…, Gretchen might ask if Edwards knows anything about the alleged virgins
that the many jihadists die for. –Naturally, he’d have to answer in code for his own safety.

>The answer could help in the peace movement .

I ain’t taking no chances.
I’m brunging my Mexican made AK47,(mi tio gave it to me, he’s always crossing the border, he said it was made by The Cartel company)a nine mm, large hunting knife and a machete.
Oh, a couple cartons of Camels and a case of good whiskey.
I mean, since we don’t know what kind of money is being used there, it’s best to have something w/ which to barter.
A friend told me he heard that the ones who lives in the basement are always fighting for space close to the fireplace..
So this means I don’t have to worry about carrying a lighter or running out of matches.

Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson sunk to a new low this morning. The only people John Edwards is talking to in some “after life” are demons.

John Edwards? Really? John the Con?

John Edwards RAN AWAY from James Randi and the one million dollar challenge. I will personally pay ANY medium $1000 if they can tell me the name my late brother wrote in my comic book that made me punch him…..

…good luck.

Really? THAT guy?

St John 5: 28-29…28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming , in which all that are in the graves shell hear his voice. 29. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

  1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

This guy will say ANYTHING to make a buck!
And who can argue with him?
It’s an uninformed opinion until he dies.
I‘ll bet he doesn’t say a darn thing to ANYONE once he’s dead and gone.
But that ain’t stopping him from spouting off now!

  Ha ha. When he was young, people thought John was stuck-up. So they asked him, “Hey John, why are you so stuck-up? Do you think that you are better then everybody else?”
  
  John answered, “Naa, I just wasn’t sure if you were real”…

I hope in the after life that Gretchen and John Edwards are relegated to the Space Cadet Nebula on the far side of the Pin Head Slackers Galaxy 9 billion light years from Reality. Maybe we can get Mikee a ride on the same bus.

  True! Which is why I like Gold Prospecting. You get hiking, camping, picnic, metal detecting and prospecting , all rolled into one!
  
  But the best thing about prospecting? Is spending time on the mountain, and getting the world out of your head. That IS living!

So, if there is no bickering in the “after” life, does that mean that the “after Obama life” will be one of total awareness, honesty, and agreement on Godly morals, and principles as embodied in our Constitution? Hope, hope. (see, there is a place for Hope).

  Most of you would kick out any non-Americans. Good thing Jesus is in charge. Many of you posting here will receive the swift kick of the divine foot of Jesus up your backside if you don’t change your nationalistic ways. I mean, do any of you even admit the possibility that people other than Americans will go to heaven? You’re so enamored of working working working, succeeding succeeding succeeding, probably most of you will try to compete with others in heaven instead of living in harmony. you’ll try to horde as much of heaven as you can.

  Exactly, all the ‘mystic arts’ any psychic practices is that of a con artist and charlitin combined into one. Unlike the stage magicians who acknowledge they use the art of ‘illusion and deception’ in their acts and routines, any psychic is just a good salesman and seller of snake oil; they get people to believe in what those people wish to hear, and are good at exploititng it.

  why is that walkwithme? I mean, what does that question have to do with how much of a Christian someone is? Do you feel it is impossible that Booth and Lincoln could both be in heaven? I am asking because I do not know what else to make out of your post. What do you think salvation entails? My Bible tells me a personal relationship with Christ is all we need. Maybe both of these men had that?

  Thanks for the notice some of our posts having been moved; I have seen it happen on a handcount of occasions before. I think it may be a glitch in the servers of the Blaze, from an information overload, or one time they were having a server problem and all posts that day on one story got deleted. I one time, a few days ago, had one story I posted on vanish completely and then was brought back up a few hours later.
  
  Hopefully if there are any mechanical problems, then the Blaze is on top of them; I am just hoping one of the trolls or the counterfeiter is not causing problems again for people here.

  In the afterlife, there will be the saints, the angels, and Lord Jesus and God Almighty; so I do not see anyone being anti-anything. We will have eternal peace, and the book of Isaiah mentions the new kingdom of Jesus will continue eternal, will prosper eternal, and will have no more conflict.

  @Tower7
  
  Good work about Dante’s Inferno; it does show interesting insights into the relationship from a point of psychology about the divine and the humane. Mind you, I do not always hold to the beliefs of what most would consider traditional christianity – being a seventh day adventist in my case.
  
  Yet the study of history and the folk lore of the jewish and christian faiths shows how it has grown and changed over the course of centuries. Ultimately, the only way each of us will find out the true answer of what awaits in the after life is when we pass from this life unto the next life.
  
  Also, I understand about having posts deleted; it has happened occasionally with me as well.

  Great post, I love Dante’s inferno.
  
  I always wonder about the afterlife and some of Einsteins theory on energy, never being destroyed, but transformed. I do beleive that you either generate good energy or bad energy, thus Heaven or Hell. I have always thought if you are good in your life, you do go to a most pleasant place, if you are bad, you are transformed into electricity to power the IRS. :-)

  SNOW I have always respected you views and feel that it is a shame that
  some things cannot be debated honestly I really have no beliefs. I was raised Catholic
  but left them at age 30 because I could not believe the Eucharist was really the body of Christ
  like real Flesh, I always thought it was spiritual.
  But since have been searching and studied many religions Mormon.JW,Pentecostal
  Methodist,Baptist,Jewish,Scientology,and Muslim none of them work for me
  currently I am looking into Lakota Sioux beliefs .I have not really looked into 7 day adventist
  yet , but I will as you seem to be a good representation for your belief.

  In my view when we reach Heaven there will be no rich or poor. There willl be no claim that those who became rich on Earth will have special privileges in Heaven. Every person will be equal.
  
  If Heaven is that way, why is it we strive to make everything the exact opposite on Earth? Why is it that we want the Government to do everything it can to make the rich more rich, which leaves less and less to the rest of us? Is that what God wants, one thing on Earth and the opposite in Heaven?
