81 | Were does it say all babies go to heaven | 2 Sam 12:23 | Aspiring Overseer | 49194 | ||
The concept God illustrates throughout scripture is choice. We must choose to follow Christ or else we will die spiritually. Yes, God commanded the Isrealites to destroy the children of pagans in several instances during the OT times. He himself destroyed all life on earth at the Flood, but the souls of these children, unable to ever understand and obey His commandments, were spared for eternal life. To say otherwise would make God unjust and we know that is impossible! See also Matt 19:13-15. |

The priests you know are not priests of God. Priests do exist today (contrary to some other posts on this site) and have no restrictions on marriage. See Rev 1:4-6 and 1 pe 2:9. Keep praying for guidance. |

85 | Salvation for Non-Believers | Heb 11:6 | Aspiring Overseer | 49186 | ||
Unfortunately, there is no way for another person to be saved by one's own salvation. Your best course of action is to continue to seek help from God to do everything in accordance with His will and possibly someday your family may seek to do the same. As for those people who are truely seeking God and are skeptical of their false religion, God will provide a Christian to present His master plan. Keep praying for quidance. |

87 | fall upward? | 1 Tim 4:1 | Aspiring Overseer | 33339 | ||
Take heart, my friend, you are accurate in your reading of scripture. The verse you quote is just one of many which clearly state that Christians can and have lost their salvation through disobedience to God. The parable of the sower does not talk about pagans, does it? No, it speaks of Christians in each instance. Similarly, the apostle Paul, personally trained by Christ, was concerned that he might himself become disqualified, even after he had preached to others. So much so, that he had to buffet his body daily to make it his slave. If Paul was concerned with losing his salvation, should not we be even more concerned? Lastly, the creme de-la-creme, the passage mainstream denominations love to avoid, Hebrews 6:4-8. Heb 6:4-8 4For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame. 7For ground that drinks the rain which often falls upon it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. NAS How can a person be enlightened; taste the heavenly gift and be a partaker of the Holy Spirit and not be considered a Christian? This is a theological exercise that is critical to the defense of all the response you've received, but will take some rather confusing and emotional arguements (and a surrender of clear, simple logic) to accept. |
