Bold mine.
What proof do you have of this?
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

This life is about choice, whether to be with God or spend eternity away from Him. That boy wasn't old enough to make that decision. So I believe that soul was re-routed to another host.
Quote:Okay, first of all, according to your god, he has a plan. So, no, there is no choice.Never said that their is "no choice." I only said their is no 'free will' as the philosphy/doctrine of 'free will' describes. Jesus, Paul the NT all say we are slaves Either to Sin or to God. We have choice in so far as to chose whom or what we serve.
Quote:Second of all, if your god was so great and awesome, he could have spared the boy's life and sent the boy's father to hell for what he did.To what end? Let's say God did save the boys life, but the beating he took was more than what he could mentally bear.. now this kid/person grows up damaged by this incodent. Not hippy whinny I got spanked as a kid because I was a little bastard all the time, but damaged in such a way as having no hope of living a normal life and can't understand why. It life so precious to you that living as 'damaged goods/being unhappy' is better than death?
Why would God make this person suffer if he can simply pull the boy from that situation and plug him back in some place else, with no damage, no residual from the beatings he took?
The reason 2 dimensional people do not like this option because they have no control or say over how and when this happens. It is a reminder that 'control' is not theirs to have. For a 2 dimensional person it is better to live life as a vegetable than to trust God to simply follow His nature.
Quote:Third - how can you say that your god called the boy home and then turn around and claim that his soul was sent to another host?Again this is what I personally think based on what has been written. There are several instances in the bible where people have been/will be reincarnated. couple that with what the bible says our purpose in life is, then consider that a young Child has/can not full fill this stated purpose. Equals "being plugged back into another life." But again I have nothing directly supporting this, just personal speculation based on what God has done, is prophesied to do, and coupled with His nature and stated purpose of our existence pushes one conclusion. That said, God could just as easily give the kid a free pass into eternity.
Quote:Either the boy went "home", which is to imply with your god, which is to imply a place called "Heaven" or he didn't. Which is it? Stop moving your goalposts to suit your shitty views.To be called home, does not mean we all get to stay. that is a wrong assumption on your part. That does not make me crazy, it just means you don't know as much as you think you do about biblical Christianity. Melchizedek, Elisha, Elijah, Moses All were prophesied to have come back as completely different people. 2 have (as Jesus and John the Baptist) and the other two will in the last days.
You're talking crazy and there's medication for that.
