Where Is Prince Now?
- Thread starter WeberHome
- Start date
If Prince accepted God's Grace, he's with God now. If he didn't, he's awaiting judgment and eternal damnation. Which it is, I know not? For his sake, I hope he made the right decision? He was a Jehovah Witness cult member and I highly doubt he would have found the "True Gospel" within the confines of that cult? That would be of great concern.
When your eternal destination is based on where you place your faith, it would be best to make that search a priority in your life. We spend zero to eighty/ninety years on planet earth and that is nothing compared to eternity. James 4:14 "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."
Everyone will be an automatic believer in the afterlife after we leave this "physical world." You will either go to be with the Lord or you will wind up in Hades awaiting the final judgment of God.
Someday our hearts will stop beating. Where you spend eternity depends on what choice you make while your heart beats.
That's a possibility?
you must have something better to do than to worry about where prince is

He played dozens of instruments and was equally quite awesome on the guitar. He was amazing not only as a musician but as a human being, as attested by his friends, he also gave to many charities and was a true humanitarian - I just tire of so much judgment on a person when they don't know the breadth and the depth of his music or his personal journey. He always as far as I know spoke highly and favorably of 'God', and honored/inspired the free expression and individuality of each person.
Here is Princes first TV interview in 1985 where he speaks of his belief in God as one can tell he was raised with some religious values having some kind of 'faith' in Deity and the hereafter.

Far from just a skull in some imaginary hell........I'd rethink your theology......

While you're picking on some particulars of SDA or WT theology that you disagree with, don't forget Prince grew up with the Bible and its study (whatever theology reflecting from its pages), no matter what 'denomination' he belonged to, so you don't know how much personal or community Bible study he profited from, no matter what peculiar doctrines the cult he was associated with believed in. There are dozens of religious sects all using the Bible and having different interpretations of such, on certain particulars, even though all share a common agreement on the most essential universal principles it teaches such as love of God and love for your fellow man.
Here is a good article page with video interviews of Prince's religious beliefs and some of his performances.

So? Any church, tradition or denomination can be called a 'cult' by the common standard definition, if you want to get technical. Furthermore, you do not know for sure the condition of Prince's soul before God, neither can make such a final or absolute conclusion on that. Even if 'salvation' was according to your concept or understanding of it, apparently mostly taken from Paul's gospel, you still don't know that that's totally correct, its just a portion of the NT that you have chosen to believe as some kind of religious authority.

How on earth do you know that he lived in 'unbelief'? How do you justify this assumption?

This is your personal religious belief. You do not know for sure the condition of Prince's soul before God, neither do you know about his personal faith in 'God', only Prince and 'God' know that.

Yep,...you gotta watch out for them 'cults'! (get your holy ghost machine gun out, and round up the heretic hunters!)
:doh:
Don't forget, the J-dubs used to be called 'Bible Students',...they know their Bible very well, in fact better than some nominal protestant Christians out there. I'm sure if the 'true gospel' is tucked away in the 'Bible' somewhere, and they are diligent bible students,...they'll get the message contained in the Bible.

Wow. Freelight sure loved that Prince guy. He sure is offended that Christians don't like him and think he was lewd and immoral....
I have no idea where the guy is. I do know that a lot of his material, and that specifically lauded by Freelight, Purex, and others in threads about the man, is inappropriate Mature content and not something that should be discussed on TOL as nothing but'admiration' . Some things are about discernment which a few on TOL lack.

No one appointed you as a judge over the living or the dead. The reality is -according to the Bible- no one other than Gods appointed Judge Jesus can determine the fate of the living or the dead. The one thing that Prince is assured of is the ressurection hope.

No its not. Jehovahs Witnesses is the religious name of the organization. The Watcher Tower Bible and Tract Society is the historical registered and legal name of the coporation that is the Jehovahs Witnesses. All Jehovahs Witnesses are evangelical and in a religious and secular sense are 'missionarys'.
Ecclesiates 9:5 " For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all"
Wise King Solomon wrote this under inspiration over 3000 years ago. If you believe the word of God the Bible to be true as do the Witnesses how can they be wrong when it says clearly in Gods word the "dead are concious of nothing".

Im going to be pretty blunt. This entire post is nonsense. Either you're very adept in the art of mendacious sophistry or you know absolutely nothing about the beliefs of the Jehovahs Witnesses. For now im going to guess the lata is the case.....
We MUST not forget, the JWs are a religious cult, they are in no way part of true Christianity.
