Subject: Jephthah and the burnt offering? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, Praise be to the Lord our God! His mercy endures forever! I give thanks to the Lord daily for salvation through Jesus Christ! Praise be to the Lord our God! Thank you for the response to my question. Emmaus, I looked in your personal profile for an e-mail address, and, I understand if you do not want to divulge it. I would like to see comments from you on a matter of great importance to a co-worker of mine. A close member of her family had "stillborn" twins. She was raised in a Catholic school and attends a Catholic church regularly. She has shared this situation with me and is very concerned because the infants were not baptised before burial. She said that she has learned since then from reading that she could have baptised them herself. Of course the obvious thing for her to do is consult with her priest, and, maybe she has. She is a person of very few words and always puts the needs of others before herself, sometimes to the point of being burdened by their needs. Frankly, I am suprised, but glad, that she shared her burden with me. I did a "search" in the forum on the subject of infants and their salvation but found no comments from you. From reading your postings, which I regard highly, I see that God has blessed you, as well as others in this forum, and I would like to see what God would show you in this matter. I too have difficulty in situations such as this that involve infants and children for there are times when I lay awake at night weeping for children. If you have commented on this subject in a previous posting and I have missed it please forgive me. My e-mail address is dave@gowithats.com. Thank you forum members for allowing me to post this personal situation. It is not my intent to disrupt the flow of postings that help us to better understand the word of God. I will not make a habit of it. Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
