Re: The high profile person recently died thread

[Constantine]

Renowned Old Testament scholar, author, and teacher Dr. Michael S. Heiser passed into the next realm yesterday from pancreatic cancer.  He ran the podcast The Naked Bible as well as a ministry named Miqlat and was involved in a host of ministry and scholarly pursuits, and was a great influence on and teacher to many.

He had a particularly unique ministry to those involved in the paranormal, supernatural, ghosts, UFO's, etc. which is a realm that few theologians dare to enter into.  He will be missed here on Earth, but has gone on to his (much) greater reward.





"I know this news is depressing, but you should all know, I will die happy to have served the Lord and you all in the ways I have. God has been very good to us, gifting me in discernible ways and, I think just as importantly, given me heart for the lay community—all of you. I desired nothing more than to empower all of you to study Scripture more deeply, to unlock the Bible for you in ways inaccessible to all but scholars. This brought me a special joy."

[Pethead]

Oh no! I didn’t even know he had cancer. Rest in the arms of Christ, brother.

[Constantine]

It was a very aggressive and fast moving cancer. He announced it last month and said the doctors couldn't do anything else for him and he had only a few weeks left to live.  It was a surprise to many I believe.

Wow, I'm shocked as well and disheartened. As Pethead said, Rest in the arms of Christ, brother.

I never heard of him, but I think his ministry was very interesting. He must have been the Christian answer to the “Coast to Coast” radio show.

I will check out his podcast.

I didn’t hear about this until now, but we lost renowned NT scholar Anthony Thiselton earlier this month.

Aw man, Sizemore was in a ton of high-profile stuff in the 90's and early 00's.  He has over 220 acting credits on IMDB.  It looks like he never turned down a part and worked right up to his passing.

Yeah he was in some great flicks.  I always really enjoyed him in whatever he did.

My fave song from the short lived
Rossington Collins Band

R.I.P. Gary Rossington

Skynyrd was a major part of American music. They are the quintessential southern rock band. So many great memorable songs… Free Bird is one of the most instantly recognizable songs ever written. And the greatest jam solo allowed on FM radio

R.I.P. Tom Sizemore 

I enjoyed his movies. I first had seen him in Lock Up with Sylvester Stallone.

I was privileged to have a friend that knew him and I met him at a backyard party he had at his house. He was a really nice and friendly guy and a revered and influential player from the early thrash metal scene in Southern California. Darkness Descends is a masterpiece!
