Maynard: sounds reasonable.

snippy: the flaw in your anti christian rhetoric is that the bible says quite clearly that young children dont get sent to hell.

Maynard: Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.

Maynard: “This is what the Lord Almighty says... ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” (1 Samuel 15:3)

Maynard: "See, the day of the Lord is coming — a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger. . . . I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty. . . . Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated." (Isaiah 13:9–16 NIV)

Maynard: "O daughter Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall they be who pay you back what you have done to us! Happy shall they be who take your little ones and dash them against the rock!"(Psalm 137:8–9 NRSV)

snippy: once again, the obvious fatal flaw in your bitchin bible study lesson is that you aint talking christian. you see there is an oldt and a new testament. moses rules are the norm for the old (hebrew torah) testament. the new testament are the rules of Jesus.(supersessionism) Jesus wasnt in the old testament except as a prophecy of the coming messiah. besides that, all the groovy oldt verses you quote, none mention hell for children that dont believe in jesus. Im sure you could do better in the argument Maynard if you dropped the pretentious garbage and did some real research. otherwise you just end up looking like a fool with a chip on his shoulder.

Fleedle: As a young catholic I was taught by nuns that if you were not baptized your soul was afflicted with original sin and you could not get into the kingdom of heaven and your soul was banished to hell. Those crazy bitches also said that your tongue would burn in hell for a minute for every curse word you said
