In his thread, and all threads here, Widows version of Christianity is right, all others are wrong.


...would be kinda silly of me if I thought the opposite .

a simple question
what the Bible says on thousands of children who died at an early age?
they even had the opportunity to know the scriptures, much less commit failures.

They will be reincarnated, just like the rest of us.

No, that would make him a skeptic, not a Christian.

I don't know how young you consider young. It is widely excepted among Protestants is that their is an age of understanding. Meaning there is a certain age that you actually understand right and wrong and until that point you can't be condemned. If anything the Bible is very lenient for Children, but since there isn't much talked about that specific question all we can do is speculate.

Answered a question similar to this earlier...
2)Basically you are asking have I ever questioned my faith....Yes. Very much so. I use to lay awake at night when I was in highschool pondering the concept of this...like this life being it. And I have heard the phrase "All religions are just meant to comfort people on the road to nothingness.". I won't deny that I enjoy the comfort of knowing their is another life after, but sitting down and thinking about it is crazy. I have looked through other perspectives and where I have the problem with most religions is they say in one way or another "Humans can be good enough to overcomes their wrong enough that they should be rewarded with heaven." I disagree to that. So I believe there can be 2 choices that I found logical that can't be proven: 1) there is no god. Therefore this life's meaning is in and of itself. If so in a million years, our life is merely to exist and disappear without no oneever really knowing. Depressing but a possibility. 2nd: There is a perfect moral standard God who must be just. This can mean 2 things since we can't technically prove God is loving...1)we all dissapear...see explanation 1 if that is true. 2)r we all deserve hell because none of us can be good enough to be compared to God's standard. So we deserve hell or our lives don't matter. This train of thought led me to the next: if Jesus is who he says he is then if I accept that then I don't deserve heaven, but I can still go in. Or their is no hope and we all go to hell(similar to Greek mythology).
