Thank you for your question. The problem of suffering is perhaps one of the most difficult questions that a Christian has to face, as it cuts to the core of our understanding of God and His purpose. Whilst some skeptics use it as an argument for atheism, I do not think this argument has the [...]
Answers about children
What we find in the Bible about baptism: Biblical baptism involves repentance, dying to serving sin symbolised by burial (immersion) in water, rising to a new life of serving God, symbolised by coming up out of the water. Romans 6:3-6 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

For example: Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins (Acts 2:38) But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus [...]
No. None that are identified as being triplets.
Your question assumes that people go to heaven at death. The Bible does not teach this — this doctrine has been developed by men partly as a result of misunderstanding some passages of Scripture. Consider the following Scriptures: Eccl 9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing… Psa 115:16-17 [...]
We don’t know for sure as the Bible does not say. However, there is no reason to think that Adam and Eve did not have a normal relationship as husband and wife while in the garden of Eden. They were told to “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28) which suggests that they engaged in sexual [...]
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 [...]
