1 | do all babies and children go to heaven | Mark 10:14 | Chochma | 108157 | ||
I must interject here. This is a perfect example of literalism gone mad. The first question is: Was Soddom and Gommorah real? Answer: Maybe Question Two: What happened to Sodom and Gommorah? Answer: Based upon recent Archeologicak evidence. The area which might be the place of these cities show large amounts of sulfor in the sediments. What has been found is small rocks/stom\nes/spheres of rock or stone with sulfur contained under several lasyers. The consideration of a major quake occurring and the high content of sulfurin this region lends us to a reasonable explaination of the Biblical account. The theory states that a quake brought Soddom and Gommorah to crumbles. The intense activity of falling rocks, splitting earth and gasses escaping from the ground would easily ignite these balls of sulfur causing them to soar in the air. From a disteance this phenomena would appear as if fire was raining down onto the cities. An obvious conclusion would bring us to believe that The cities of Sodom and Gommorah were victoms of natural disasters and that, as man has always done, the author of the biblical story blamed it on the gods and in this case the blame was on Jehovah. This brings me to the question at hand regarding babies. Those innocent children were victoms as were their parents of an awful catastrophe of nature. The belief that these babies were wicked and therefore deserved such an awful death is asa insane as declaring 9/11 an act of God. I think God gave us a brain not just a scripture to use in questions such as these. |

2 | do all babies and children go to heaven | Mark 10:14 | CDBJ | 108177 | ||
What Scriptures are you basing this on since this is a Bible study forum and not a geological debate. Don’t you suppose God can use any means that He sees fit to accomplish His will and purpose? I think that what you are saying actually makes it that much more awesome and all the more reason to fear God and believe that what He say, He will do. The word brimstone comes to us from the Hebrew word GOPHRYTH, which carries the following meaning. Probably feminine of Hebrew 1613 (gopher); properly cypress-resin; by analogy sulphur (as equally inflammable) :- brimstone. Think how awful the lake of fire is going to be for those that don’t put all of the faith and trust in God’s Son for eternal life! Rev. 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. In answer to your last statement, “I think God gave us a brain not just a scripture to use in questions such as these.” The Scripture has somewhat to say on the brain issue also. 1 Cor. 1:17-21 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

CDBJ: Hello, brother! You know, come to think of it, what would it matter where the balls of fire (brimstone) came from? When God decided to do in Sodom and Gomorrah, He did a fine job of it. No matter how skeptics try to explain away any supernatural intervention, the bald fact remains that Sodom and Gomorrah became burnt toast. I've never been quite able to understand how some people can say on the one hand, "Oh, yes, I believe in God. I believe He created the heavens and the earth. No question about it." ..... But, on the other hand, they go to China and back trying to get around believing that God could make ashes out of a couple of wicked towns. ..... Thanks for a good rebuttal to the "God gave us a brain and not just Scripture" nonsense. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, Some perverted skeptic was trying to explain away the crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites. The claimed that, according to what scientific geologists have discovered, that the Red Sea where the Israelites crossed was only a foot to a foot and a half deep at most! I said you mean the water was only 18” deep at most; they said that right. I said well then, that miracle was more fantastic then I originally thought. They said, and how is that! I said to think that God could drowned all of those Egyptians and their horses in only 18” of water is incredible! CDBJ |

CDBJ - That's hilarious! I needed a good laugh today. Thanks. ..... My dad dearly loved to butt heads with skeptics. Once he asked a skeptic, "Do you believe that tale about Jonah swallowing the whale?" The skeptic said, "No, of course not. It's just another one of those fables the Bible is famous for." My dad replied, "Well, we at least agree on this one." The skeptic brightened and said, "See, even you don't believe all that stuff." Speaking very slowly and disticly, my father added, "I don't believe that Jonah could have possibly swallowed that whale, at least not in one piece, and I don't think God meant for us to believe that. But what it says in the book of Jonah, I do believe every word of that. Go look it up and read it for yourself." And with that he walked away, leaving the skeptic scratching his head. --Hank | ||||||
