    Just heard this. Sad. Our prayers go out to his family. Don't know if he was a Christian.

    Westboro church is already saying they plan a protest at his funeral, because of his role in the movie, "Broke Back Mountain."

    Westboro church...continuing to be the most hated family in America.

    love,

    I believe it is highly possible that that they will blame his death on his role in that movie. No one in a sane mind supports their actions. And if they continue to thumb their noses at the one true and living God they may find themselves in a losing situation.

    I wouldn't say this fellow was a Homo because he played in "Broke Back Mountain." but I think we could certainly rule out him being a born again Christian. Sad! What a wasted life!!

    How wasted? Do you also condemn him as a psychopathic criminal because of his role as The Joker in the upcoming Batman movie? Actors play characters. Don't confuse the actor with the role he or she plays.

    I also find it shameful for all the speculation about salvation everytime a famous person dies. It is not productive. Concentrate on your own relationship with God and quit condemning everyone that dies to hell based on your opinion.

    Mr. Ledger will have to answer to God for whatever sins he has committed in this life... but so will we. Questioning his salvation is nothing but speculation. Questioning his choices in his acting profession is dumb, as he is dead now and cannot tell us why he did what he did. Have a heart people... the man had a family and whether he was a Christian or not, they are in pain. If he was not, I pray someone will be able to reach out to them through this tragedy and share with them the love of Christ.

    Certainly his actions indicated someone who needed God's intervention.

    And yes, it seems very possible (even likely) that he didn't know the Lord.

    But we must remember--we do not know the heart of a man. That's God's realm. Let's leave it there.

    I wouldn't say he was a homosexual because of his role in a homosexual movie. But, he shouldn't have taken that role.

    He did waste his life seeking the things of this world. He died a wealthy man.
    Like the rich man

    Luke 16:1 (KJV)
    And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

    Luke 16:13 (KJV)
    13: No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (mammon=money)

    Luke 16:23 (KJV)
    And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

    As one or two have mentioned Phreaky Phred Phelps, can anyone tell me what a 'fag-enabler' is supposed to be? Is it a type of computer hardware or software? Enquiring minds wish to know...

    Would people be saying some of the derogatory/negative things if he had recieved laurels for playing the part of a rapist, a pedophile, a murderer, a mob boss?

    Prayers for his family during this time.
