WBC,
Let me start out by saying that I believe that you and your family are prophets of God on this earth, even though I believe God has destined me for hell.
The question that has been bothering me for years though, is why anyone would dare to have children?
Even children of the Elect are not automatically the Elect. For instance, it took just took several generations for descendents of Noah (one of the Elect) to descend into corruption again.
So knowing that, who would dare to have children? I have one child and I weep that I have brought someone into this world who might also be destined for hell.
How do you dare have children knowing that they are not automatically among the Elect as well?
This is a serious question meant in all sincerity.

Robert,
Don’t be mistaken, there was a nasty fag *on the ark* – it didn’t take generations. Evil Ham carried it through from the old world to the new – all those antediluvian perversions.
Once sin came into the world in Eden, men have only been corrupt by nature – every man’s heart is inherently evil: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9.
Every human creature deserves death & hell – but it’s God’s prerogative to decide who He will or won’t save. You can’t try to fix or prevent God’s will. “Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.” Romans 9:18.
The standard has been set – having children is not an evil thing – quite to the contrary. Believe the words found in the scriptures – having children is a reward:
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver
full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies
in the gate.” Psalm 127: 3-5.
You cannot dictate how your children will turn out – despite your best or worst efforts. It’s simply not in your hand to save them. YOU DO have a solemn, sober duty to your child/ren – teach them what their Creator requires of them & the ramifications of this life’s conduct in eternity.
“And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when
thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.” Deuteronomy 6:5-9.
Fulfilling your Deuteronomy 6 duty to your children is the only good & loving thing to do toward them.
Do it, Robert.
