Titus1:5 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.And the horrific suffering that many of them experience before passing through that magic door.......?
Something went wrong in their transition to earth. Maybe they were aborted or there was a miscarriage or something like that. The world is in a fallen state and there is death in the world.
The Bible says that God saves them from the trouble that is to come. Because of His love and His mercy.
Yes of course we are happy that our loved ones went on to their reward. We still miss them and we have questions that we wish we had asked them when they were still alive.
Why would it not make sense that we still grow and mature in Heaven.
I can not begin to tell you all I look forward to when I get there.
We are appointed to blow the trumpet and sound the alarm.It's kind of scary how much you sound like a foot soldier from al-qaida or ISIS or something.
You believe that for children to die, God is killing them?So... killing children is like buying them a ticket straight to paradise?
Yikes!
You believe that for children to die, God is killing them?
To even begin to understand the implications of such things upon mankind one needs to take as a whole the Bible and God's complete sovereignty. We as Christians have a personal relationship with God and know He is good and merciful and loving and holds all understanding of our world. We may not understand all reasons for why things happen in the way we do but we can rest assured that there is a reason. God chose to create the way He chose to create and viruses, parasites and bacteria are part of that scenario.That doesn't make any sense.
Not all desease is genetic. In fact, most isn't.
If you wish to entertain the idea that your deity of choice created life, then you must also entertain the idea that this deity created viruses, parasites and plenty of bacteria that are out to kill is - which is their way for surviving.
In that sense, desease really isn't some "logical consequence". In that sense, rather, it's planted on purpose by this deity.
You can't have your cake and eat it too...
That is probably the most deranged thought process I've seen. You probably need some sort of prize for that one.I suspect this is the issue around "if children (before developing the ability to reason) die they get a ticket straight to heaven" So if you honestly believed that, then people would logically kill their children to ensure they got "straight to heaven". As most people, quite rightly, don't do that, it must mean they don't really believe it. This is an example where basic humanity trumps religious belief.
That is probably the most deranged thought process I've seen. You probably need some sort of prize for that one.
And you don't think that is deranged?I just took it from a Christian story

Of course it's deranged - but unfortunately religious dogma has encouraged that faulty thinking in some people.And you don't think that is deranged?
You all really are fatalists. Thou shalt not kill. Plain and simple. If you are Christian, know God and understand life if a gift; you would not take a life...no ones life and especially your own child's.What's deranged about it?
Children who don't develop reasoning get to go to Heaven, the best place anyone could ever possibly be, EVER. If they do develop this reasoning capability, they run the high risk of going to the absolute WORST place you could be, EVER, where they will wallow in torment for all eternity. The odds are high that they will go to second place, not the first.
So, with those facts in mind, why would you want your child to reach reasoning age? Wouldn't you want to ensure your child gets into Heaven, if you genuinely believe such a place exists?
Religion didn't encourage that faulty thinking, some people are sick and deranged in all walks of life.Of course it's deranged - but unfortunately religious dogma has encouraged that faulty thinking in some people.
I also want to mention ....this is no Christian story.I just took it from a Christian story

You believe that for children to die, God is killing them?
Would you kill your child if they were suffering from a horrendous incurable disease? IF they were suffering and in pain, would you kill them?You underestimate the power of belief. Would you sacrifice you life to ensure the life of your children? Most parents would. Now just up the stakes. Would you sacrifice your soul (I'm just playing along with the though process here - obviously there is no actual evidence that such a thing exists) to ensure eternal happiness for your children?
