This is a very upsetting subject. Although I have never lost an unborn child, I’ve seen the trauma and sorrow experienced by those who have and I extend my sincere sympathy to those who have experienced this loss. Firstly, it is a common misconception that people go to heaven when they die. The Bible is [...]
Answers about children
You say: I had two beautiful daughters, one had down syndrome and the other is autistic. Sarah the one who had down syndrome died five years ago from a heart condition that wasn’t treatable. Where would you say she is at? Does the Bible say anything about special needs children? also, would children who died [...]

We are not told anywhere in scripture what the age of responsibility is. That is not surprising as it will vary depending on the personality, experiences and environment of the child. In addition, “responsibility” can mean several things. A child learns what sin is as soon as they understand the word “no”. They grow in [...]
Jesus said “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels” (Matt 22:30). This would imply that resurrected people will not procreate. There are indications that there will continue to be children (from the mortal population) during the Millennium (cf. Isaiah 11:6). When this age comes to an [...]
