As far as I know the Bible doesn't say anything about the fate of animals after they die. One thing is certain. Animals cannot sin because they don't have an innate sense of right or wrong, so they won't go to Hell. I have written a post on this subject in my blog. Do animals go to Heaven...

Cats are even better. :)

If you are a new Christian and aren't certain about the truth of these things it is better to keep asking God for them than not to think about them at all. When I was first saved I was worried that I could lose my salvation if I didn't live a good life so I often asked God for things that he...

It is impossible to obey all of his commands without attending church. For example, just before his arrest he established a new ordinance called the Lord's Supper. You cannot practice this without meeting together. Jesus also set an example for us by regularly attending the synagogues. I doubt...

These are good reasons for not attending a specific church but we are commanded to attend church if it is possible for us to do so. We also need to keep in mind that no church is perfect.

All believers are members of one body and each of us is given spiritual gifts that are to be used for the benefit of the whole body. We can't help other members of the body or received the help we need from then without contact. That is we are commanded to assemble together. In Acts, wherever...

Here is how the ESV translates that verse: Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. Here is a comparison of that verse in different translation: Hebrews 11:35 - Bible Gateway There seems...

Those who were martyred during the tribulation will certainly be resurrected. The church will have been resurrected at the rapture before the tribulation. There is some uncertainty about when Old Testament believers will be resurrected. Some think it will be at Christ's return; some think it...

That is not true. We are informing people about what God has said pregnant women can do with the bodies of their babies.

The meaning of spirit is not limited to physical breath. It can also refer to the inanimate part of a person. Don't forget that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother's womb. Could that happen to someone who wasn't alive yet?

Prayer should not be restricted to a single time each day. As you go about your activities and encounter a problem or have to make a decision ask God for the wisdom to solve the problem or make the right decision. When you experience something good thank God for it. We should sometimes stop...

If you think this supports abortion I recommend that you read this: Does the Bible support abortifacients? - creation.com God never made a fetus out of dirt either.

Some people wonder if there is a God. Some are convinced of his existence and have no doubts. I have never doubted that God exists (although there have been times when I wondered if he cared about me) so I can't fully understand what it feels like to be a doubter. God has promised that he...

You failed to mention one form of "medical necessity", the fact that some women have an abortion because it is inconvenient for them to have a baby. Have you ever read the book Unplanned by Abby Johnson or seen the movie? Abby was once a director of a Planned Parenthood clinic who changed...

Where does the Bible say that? In your previous posts you have quoted Genesis 2:7 which says that God formed the first man and breathed into him so that he would become a living being. This has nothing to do with abortion. Adam had no ancestors from whom he could inherit life. He never had...

Reading your post gives me the impression that you don't understand the way of salvation. You appear to think that it depends in part on what you do. Of course you are doing things that are wrong. Everyone does, even after being forgiven. Our only hope lies in the fact that Jesus Christ shed...

When two groups teach different things we need to compare what they teach with the Bible to find out who is right. Don't we have a responsibility to warn people if they are in error? If we warn them and they refuse to believe us we will have fulfilled our responsibility and don't need to be...

You need to always keep in mind that sometime different people will have a different definition of a word. When having a conversation with someone you need to make sure you are both defining a word in the same way. I will give you an example of how I was once misled by a false definition...

The word evangelical is derived from the Greek word "evangel", which means "good news". It refers to the message that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead. The primary meaning is someone who believes this message. Like other words it can be misused and acquire new meanings so if...

We are not to judge people by their labels but we are to judge whether they teach the truth. We can't tell anything about a person's beliefs when he is a Protestant because there is a wide range of beliefs among those who bear that label; when someone is a Mormon we can tell more about his...
