On television, I often hear an announcer say that a person who just died was such a "good" person.
I shudder!
To do this can be a great sin against God!
For if we honor a dead person by saying he was "good", when he was evil in the sight of God, we bear false witness concerning this dead person.
And at the judgment seat of Christ we will be held accountable for these words spoken.
II Corinthians 5
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
