Watergate figure, evangelical leader Chuck Colson near death
Chuck Colson
Charles "Chuck" Colson, the Watergate convict who became a born-again Christian in prison and worked with inmates, is near death, an associate reports.
The 80-year-old Colson underwent surgery at an undisclosed Northern Virginia hospital more than two weeks ago to remove clotting on his brain.
The head of Colson's Prison Fellowship said in a statement today that his condition deteriorated Tuesday and that family had been advised "to gather by his bedside."
Now, that may be true, Kenny, but it is true that he was married to one--who hadn't converted to Christianity from what I last heard. Mr. Colson was also instrumental in the Manhattan project,
Mike Gendron wrote: ...a 4,700-word document called the Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience was released. The document was drafted by Chuck Colson and Princeton University professor Robert P. George, a Roman Catholic. This is clearly another attempt to bring ecumenical unity to all of professing Christianity and blur the lines that separate apostates from true Christians.
personal bubble, neither R.C. Sproul or Chuck Colson determines the number of people that the grace of Christ will save. I suggest you read the Bible, and listen to, Calvinism and Arminianism.
I do hope that Mr. Colson gave up his ecumenical ways, by now.
R.C. Sproul wrote: The one thing that the spirit of tolerance of our day cannot tolerate is intolerance, because relationships have become more important than truth. Now what's at stake here, if I understand the New Testament where the Apostle Paul writes the Galatians and says, "If anybody, anybody, if it's Peter, if it's Barnabus, if it's an angel from heaven teaches any other gospel—let him be anathema." That's not Sproul, that's not MacArthur, that's not Kennedy, that's not Ankerberg—that is the Apostolic position, and Paul wanted to make sure that he made himself clear so he repeated that.
I was given Chuck's book "Born Again" a couple yeas ago and couldn't put it down until I had finished reading it. A very compelling, reassuring and heartwarming story of God's handiwork.
Chuck Colson, by the grace of God, has finished the race set before him.
My prayers and thoughts go to Chuck Colson and his family.May God bless Chuck for all he has done. He truly was used by God.And is a good and gainful servant of the Lord. May he receive the crown of life May God grant his family peace and comfort during this time. Chuck Colson will be missed but his legacy will continue to inspire people and influence others. I know . He has touched my life. May God bless.

I hope he has repudiated it.
