1. Herein lies the difference between you and I: I let scripture speak for itself and you twist it to mean what you want it to mean.
I interpret certain scriptures differently than you do, GG. It's not very "Christian" to accuse me of "twisting" them, do you think? Judging from the Catholic and Orthodox input on this subject, there are an awful lot of other Christians who understand them pretty much the same way I do. You are entitled to think you interpretation is correct, but please don't make unfounded accusations about the rest of us.
2. All are guilty . . . but you don't seem to think so.
GG, I have a great idea! Why don't
you stick to telling
me what
you believe and let
me tell
you what
I believe.
I believe that who are
capable of being guilty are guilty.
Apparently people are good enough to be let into the presence of God.
Let me just ask you one thing. If you were to have a child and that child died within a few hours after it was born, what do you sincerely believe would happen to it?
Forget about what Jesus said about being "born again" because you seem to think that the first time was good enough
There you go again, telling me what I think. What makes you so sure I haven't been born again? Did God give you some special insight into my heart?
. . . well Jesus doesn't think so. Babies need the blood of Christ just like every other sinner and the only way that can be recieved is by faith.
On the contrary. Jesus knew that babies aren't sinners. He never said that it's a sin to be born, either, to the best of my knowledge.
Here's what He actually did say:
Matt.18:3 ...Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:14 ...Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Mark 10:14 ...Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Luke 18:16 ...Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Now, perhaps you could provide me with a few verses (besides the one you keep repeating) that explain your position.
