Bible Question:
Ok, I've got a good question for Discussion. But before I ask it, let's not get into the unanswerable Calvinism Armenianism thing OK. OK here we go, this ought to be fun. I asked a Calvinist one time... "Do you have Kids?" He said "3". I said "Why would you have kids if God might choose one of them to go to hell?" Do you think a true calvinist would ever have kids, because what if God chose one of them for eternal damnation? |
Bible Answer: Hi, In the Andes; We are not to refrain from having kids for this reason or any other. "And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein." (Gen 9:7) To refrain from having kids is to choose our will over God's. See also, Gen 1:28; 8:17; Lev 26:9 among others. What if our parents held the belief that you speak of? We would not be having this conversation, nor would we be building up God's kingdom. Peace and blessings to you, Tim |
