Do you have perplexing Biblical questions for which you have not found adequate answers? On my spiritual journey I have had dozens, and more often than not I was given a denominational answer, so I had to search the scriptures myself, as well as historical documentation on church history.
One of my perplexing questions was, "When is a human beings' name written in God's Book of Life." I was told that the moment a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior his name is written in God's Book of Life.
But that created a conundrum for me, because it only caused a new question, "If that is so, what happens to little babies, in the womb or out, who can't talk, or a jungle tribesman who hasn't been evangelized?" Do you know what I was told?
I was told they would go to Hell? I was abhorred by that answer, because the God of my Bible, whom I have fallen in love, would not do that...it was not consistent with His statement of "not wanting even one to perish."
A friend told me her denomination said the baby must be baptized...that is how someone is saved...how their name is written in God's Book of Life. But this explanation could not be proven by scripture either, only denominational doctrine. Now I am even more perplexed. What will I do to find my answer?
I began to research every scripture that had anything to do with salvation, accepting Jesus as Savior, names in God's Book of life, and names blotted out of God's Book of Life. I had never heard a sermon, after 40 years of church life, about how a name is blotted out of God's Book of Life, so I
knew this was going to be a fascinating research paper. Do you know the answer? More on this exciting subject in my next blog.
God's sheep question the doctrines of men...sheeple follow without question...
