We talked about this a bit tonight at the bookstudy. Jehovah saved only those righteous ones on Earth. The earth was in a horrible condition and if Jehovah had not intervened at the moment everything would have fell apart. No one else had a chance of becoming righteous save for Noah's family and decendents. However, in a world populated by the wicked and demons, how likely were they to stay righteous? Eventually there would have been no more righteous people so something had to be done on a global scale.
Of course babies have heart conditions..everyone does. Though (our CO brought this out) those too young to judge for themselves are based off their parents, or their parents are responsible for their spirituality not them. So, they were killed because their parents had to be. THis doesn't mean they won't be ressurected (feel free to correct me anyone!). This is also why children should be allowed to get baptized when they originally want to..because they're old enough to think for themselves so their spirituality is then judged by their heart condition and not their parents'.
that was an excellent explanation, lyndz....you are def. growing up...(not that i knew you when you were younger, but clearly you're thinking about things)...haha
ok, that makes sense...thanks
this was an awesome explanation lynz! =)
What i've been thinking though, even though i fully agree with your explanation because of what i've learned and been taught, what about now. Will Jehovah destroy the babies (kids) of the unbelievers at the time of Arm. because of their parents OR will he spare them as we see now majority of the kids, teens are doing different than their parents? Like now when we do our preaching about 95% of whom take the lit are teenagers or who listen....well Jah will tell us when he sees fit
ever see pictures of paradise.. no teenagers ever.
just babies/toddlers and old folks building houses.
never a teenager running around
nor women wearing pants or shorts.....
hahaha that always made me upset when i was younger. i hate dresses and i was always afraid i would have to spend eternity wearing one.
yeah my sister and i always joke about that. we're like we cant wear dresses ALL the time! HAHAHA
i did spot a woman wearing shorts in one picture...and i think she was a teenager
was she smoking weed?
how does a conversation that was going so good end up like that?
Because obviously if she was wearing shorts she must be evil and smoking weed and have beer bottles littered about her feet.
you're the only one who understands me
Let me break it down for you...
Paradise will have all plants and species of animals...
which would consist of weed plants, tobacco flowers, etc.
Now being that it's a female she'd most likely have long hair and with her hair and her shorts she'd be really stressed out.
Now we all know stress is the number 1 cause of gloucoma. Now we all know marijuana helps reduce the symptoms of gloucoma. Thus i was wondering if she was smoking weed.
thats because all the teenagers are going to be killed in armagedon..DUH!!
