I have not read the Bible for a long time, so I can't comment on that... but no matter what the church might say, I don't believe that an innocent baby would be bound for hell. I think babies should be baptized, it is like you are telling God, I believe in you and here is my child, I will raise him/her to know you. to believe in you.So for example, a baby dies just a few short hours after it is born. A soul destined for hell because it wasn't baptized in the churches eyes.
However a serial killer on death row, a mere hour before their execution can truthfully ask God for forgiveness and be let into Heaven.
I don't believe that innocent babies/children go to hell.
suposedly, by what the church teaches, there is limbo, or purgatory, not just heaven/hell but I don't believe that babies would go there either.
as for the serial killer, if he is genuinely sorry, in his heart, and asks forgivenss, and believes in God, then yes I believe God would accept him into Heaven.
I don't know how often that actually happens, a death row priest would know...
I understand what you mean, you can talk to God anywhere. but not all priests/ministers etc are child molesters you know. I actually have not gone to chruch for a long time, but when I go it is because I want to hear what they have to say, sometimnes I like listening to the priest, and i feel good in Church. but I absolutely am disgusted on their first response about the scandel, and I will not forget that first reaction...like i have said in other posts, it is that reacation that has made me consideer changing chruches.. something I never would have dreamed of before.I do not need to be in a church run by some child molesting predator for the power to hear my thoughts, worries, and prayers
anyway, what does any of this have to do with evolution?
