    If forever punishment is true and if all dead babies go to Heaven...

    I believe the Bible not the bleeding heart arguments I am seeing here. God is never so cruel that He would condemn innocent infants, children, the intellectually challenged etc. to eternal punishment. But that don't mean there ain't none. Various posters have found passages which, IMHO, are...

    Yehovah God will not send you to Hell!

    Various posters have found passages which, IMHO, are quoted out-of-context and which appear to say that all mankind sinner and saint alike will be saved. But I offer these passages. Jeremiah 13:10 (10) This evil people, [Israel] which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of...

    I believe that ALL who ever lived will be in God’s Kingdom

    I want to get back to the OP. "I believe that ALL who ever lived will be in God’s Kingdom" Various posters have found passages which, IMHO, are quoted out-of-context and which appear to say that all mankind sinner and saint alike will be saved. But I offer these passages. Jeremiah 13:10 (10)...

    Yehovah God will not send you to Hell!

    One can make the Bible say almost anything they want it to by quoting selective verses out-of-context. Jeremiah 13:10 (10) This evil people, [Israel] which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall...

    Yehovah God will not send you to Hell!

    Only if the person repents and is forgiven in this life. There is no forgiveness after death. Psalms 88:5 (5) Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. Psalms 6:5 (5) For in death there is no remembrance of...

    HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS VERSE ?

    And this contradicts my post how?

    I believe that ALL who ever lived will be in God’s Kingdom

    I studied Hebrew and Greek at the Master's level in the '80s and the Greek word Kolasin is translated "punishment" in Matt 25:46 in the Eastern Greek Orthodox Bible Matthew 25:44-46 (44) Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or...

    I believe that ALL who ever lived will be in God’s Kingdom

    Kolasin vs. 46 is translated eternal in the Eastern Greek Orthodox NT. Matthew 25:44-46 (44) Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? (45) Then shall he answer them...

    If forever punishment is true and if all dead babies go to Heaven...

    God would not, will not punish infants, small children, the mentally handicapped, etc. BUT I believe God will do what He said He would. Jeremiah 13:11-14 (11) For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of...

    I believe that ALL who ever lived will be in God’s Kingdom

    Yes you are. The whole world does NOT include unrepentant criminals, murderers, robbers. thieves etc. I wonder why there is a distinction between "all people" and "especially those who believe.?" OUT OF CONTEXT. This was the high priest praying for disobedient Israel.. Lamentations 3:31 (31)...

    I believe that ALL who ever lived will be in God’s Kingdom

    Many of your "proof texts" are out-of-context. 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 [but Anyone who does not love does not know God,] because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us,["Us"...

    Only Three Are Tormented Eternally

    Jeremiah 7:31 refers ONLY to the Jews sacrificing their children in the fire, which God did NOT command, it does NOT refer to eternal punishment, Jeremiah 7:30-31 (30) For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is...

    DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED FOR DEAD , WHY ??

    It is very dangerous to attempt to base a doctrine on one isolated verse. [more to come]

    Convince me of Annihilationism

    Incorrect. The city in Rev 22 is the "new Jerusalem" dropped down from heaven. Revelation 21:2 (2) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And the "dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and...

    Convince me of Annihilationism

    FYI Revelation 21 and 22 describe what happens in the end. Rev 21:4 says there shall be no more death. Rev_21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed...
