Q&A with Pastor/Elder Jim Osman – November 3, 2019

Some of the questions include:

1. Ezekiel 18:20 lays out that children will not be punished for the sins of their fathers, yet in Esther 9:10, they hung the 10 sons of Haman with their father on the gallows?
2. What happens to babies when they die, do they go to heaven or hell?
