For pp who refuses to have children based on a fear of hell I would suggest she see a therapist for anxiety. It's obviously affecting her life is a destructive way.

And yes, as a parent I accept that my child will not adopt the same viewpoints that I have. That's part of parenting.[/quote]

Good advice.  Do you recommend a Christian therapist, a secular (regular) therapist or obit -- and how about taking her fears to her pastor?[/quote]

Perhaps a way out for that fearful Christian is to know that, statistically speaking, if she becomes a mother, she will ultimately be making more souls for Christ.  For instance, if she has 4 children, chances are at least  2 of them will use their free will to accept Christ.  If all four of her children then have children of their own there's a chance that  some of the children of her kids who did not exert their free will in favor of Christ will have some children who do --thus more souls to live eternally in Heaven.

So the two with souls rejoicing in heaven, while the other two who don't have souls go to hell.

Two questions about that:

1. How can the dead Believer mom enjoy heaven with the knowledge that half her kids are burning in hell?

2. If the soul leaves the body at death, what exactly is there to "burn" "down there" in hell?[/quote]
Hell is the Lake of Fire, which no one gets thrown into until after the Second Coming of Christ, when we are all resurrected into eternal life or eternal damnation. (John 5:28-29) Yes, we will have bodies for eternity. Until then, the souls of those who die without Christ will be in torment. Don't know how, but we've all felt really bad emotionally without anything wrong with us physically, so it's not too hard to imagine.[/quote]
