LET THE BIBLE SPEAK
"SHAMEFUL EVENT TO SPEAK OF"
"For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now {you are} light in the Lord. Walk as children of light ... and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose {them}. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret" (Eph. 5:6-8, 11, 12). It is way past time for our society and the news media to stop obsessing over Anna Nicole Smith. My prayer is that is that at least Christians are disgusted by a tramp and a ***** from Texas (with at least three idiotic men claiming to be the father of Anna's baby and who is famous for all the wrong reasons) getting all this media attention.
Indeed, it is a tragedy that this women died, but the greater tragedy is that she's lost eternally and will take many others with her. Let us think on things that are right, that is, "fitting for saints" (Eph. 5:3). Our souls are too precious to sell out for the short term and eternity too long to miss being with the Lord (II Thess. 1:6-9). Have you obeyed the gospel?

Now, I'm definetly no expert on the Bible and will never claim to know it all as I think no one can but for a so-called christian to refer to someone as a "tramp and a *****" and to say that "she's lost eternally" makes it appear to me as if he thinks he is the almighty himself. Did I miss judgement day? Is it for us to judge? Regardless of what she has done or what anyone thinks she has done does anyone know what went on in the last moments of her life?
I was shocked when I read this and just thought I'd put it out here for your input.
