There's nothing specifically wrong with it, John, but you would have to be able to step outside of yourself, as a 3rd party, and look in to see the big picture and understand it.
Everybody needs Christian friends. We learn from them, grow with them, and they help to keep us in sync, both mentally and spiritually. You asked once, "who needs friends?" We all need Christian friends. I know you are ultra shy, John, but you really could use a few, as we all do. |

Some time ago, while commenting in an abortion thread, I said something to the effect, "those poor innocent babies". Well, this ignited a small firestorm as to whether or not babies and small children go straight to Heaven. I had people posting who don't normally post saying that they go to hell, they are not innocent, and one lady talking about how when she looks at her children, she considers how wicked and depraved they are, which I thought was odd for a mother. I know we are all born into sin, but when I called them innocent, I was speaking to their lack of sin at such a young age. Sin nature...yes. Will they sin, given the opportunity...yes. Have they sinned yet...no.
Anyway, the conversation grew legs and became an argument as to whether or not aborted babies, delivered babies, and young children go straight to Heaven. To my surprise, several said they were condemned and go straight to hell. This never sat well and what a horrible thought. Anyway, I was listening to a quick clip of something just yesterday which addressed this. Can anyone who believes babies and young children don't go to Heaven comment on II Sam 12:21 and Deut 1:39? Maybe there are others. Anyone can comment. This has bothered me since that dark discussion when some said they are all condemn |

...First of all, like "vestigal" organs, I don't agree with their assessment of there being no purpose for these "junk" genes.
What do you all think about the thought that the genes just haven't had a need to be activated yet? Since nothing is ever truly destroyed, but transformed into energy, maybe these genes play a role in our future bodies, our resurrection, our abilities once transformed after death, etc? We are spiritual beings travelling within a temporary vehicle made of flesh and bone; powered by blood pumping through a heart that beats mysteriously without battieries or any sort of power source.
A baby is conceived when a sperm fertilizes an egg. My question is: we can explain the physical processes, but where does the real "us"; our spirit come from and when are we assigned to our bodies? Has our spirit always been around, waiting for a body to inhabit, or could one of those "junk" genes be the author of our spirit bodies? Is the spirit created at the moment of conception or does God assign it a body when we take our first breath?
I know these questions can't be answered, I guess, but I just always wonder about these things. I wonder if our genes play a role in creating our spirits or if God creates and plants us at some point. Hmmm. |

@Whatdoyouknow...thanks for clearing that up...I should have caught it, and John, I'm glad you didn't understand either.
Whenever this person comes at me, I can't even express how underwhelmed I am by the content of his posts. I always have to read most of them several times and then I still don't get them. A true Jekyl and Hyde who uses one name to speak softly to deceive and another to deride, accuse, and condemn. There is only one person here who, since I have been around, has used the phrase, "ad hominem" on a semi-regular basis. A true Christian...I think not. Amazing how self rightous some are, to a level of delusion, never realizing that they are venemous snakes with their hearts pumping black sludge through their veins. I guess I'm rambling...I just don't have any respect for cowards. |
