When babies die, do they go to hell?

They do not stand by their morals. Sodomy is rampant in Muslim nations, but it is hushed up. Homosexuality is legal in Turkey. So there are contradictory elements going on. US troops in Afghanistan, for example, are told to ignore adult men raping young boys, because that is just their culture...

Yes, because Adam sinned, humans are born with mortal bodies that die. But there is no scripture that says we sinned in Adam. We are not judged for Adam’s sin. We are judged for our own sins. The Bible could not be more clear. Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the...

That is ridiculous.

Destiny swapping, karma exchanging, and energy harvesting are mistaken ideas originating in witchcraft circles. You are trying to explain things in your life through the terms and concepts generated by non-Christians. You have been influenced by their rantings and ravings. You have spent too...

Again, no verse says we sinned in Adam. In Adam all die, because we inherit Adam’s mortality. Romans 5:12-14 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but...

The purpose of the Islamic instruction to slaughter halal is to perform the Zibah process quickly and with minimal suffering. If you are performing the slaughter, Islam clearly instructs you to slaughter swiftly and with mercy for the animal. The requirement of draining blood from the carcass...

You hammer away at this mistaken idea because you do not believe Jesus is God. You refuse to define prayer. You ignore scriptures where Stephen prayed to Jesus as he died. You dismiss scriptures where Jesus said we can ask Him for things. This unedifying quarrelsome conversation has reached...

Do you believe that Jesus is God? Since martyr Stephen prayed to Jesus, do you do the same? Are you a Jehovah’s Witness?

We are still waiting for your definition of prayer and praying. You can attack the idea of praying to Jesus all you want. Meanwhile, I will continue to talk to the Father when that seems appropriate and talk to Jesus when that seems appropriate. Your arguments are unconvincing, for you...

I do not speak Hebrew or Aramaic, so I do not call Jesus by His name in Hebrew or Aramaic. I grew up on hymns. In the hymn books, the Savior’s name is always given as Jesus, not Yeshua. In my King James, NLT, ESV, and other versions of the Bible in my home library, His name is Jesus. When I...

All true, but we speak English, and not Hebrew or Aramaic. The name that is used in English speaking lands is Jesus. It feels awkward and contrived for me to say Yeshua. But what matters is that we all refer to the one Lord of lords and King of kings, the only begotten Son of God, the Word...

Jesus instructs us to come directly to Him. John 14:13,14 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Paul also prayed to Jesus when he “besought the Lord” to remove his thorn in...

You seem to think that praying is some formal ritualistic behavior, but actually prayer is simply talking to God. Where in the Bible is prayer defined, as you understand it? When the martyr Stephen called upon Jesus, if he wasn’t praying, what was he doing?

Weymouth New Testament So they stoned Stephen, while he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." New International Version While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” New Living Translation As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”...

Calling and calling upon is direct address and thus is prayer. It is instruction in the form of example.

Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen as he called upon God and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” Revelation 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

I explained why Jesus said 2 swords were enough, so He would be reckoned among the transgressors. Jesus condemned physical weapons quite firmly. Go ahead and quote the verses stating that the disciples were armed and used swords to defend themselves. Search the gospels and the book of Acts...

Wrong. Jesus never told His disciples to defend themselves with weapons. When Jesus said buy a sword, and the disciples replied they had two swords, Jesus said that was enough. Thus, the swords were not for self defense or for killing those who attack. Two swords would not be nearly enough to...

A whip is not a weapon. It is a prod. Jesus did not whip any humans, just the animals.
