There are qualifications that need to be met for this such as so many hours of scripture study etc. The Dillards were not comissioned by any church or organization.

When a man doesn't accept Christ then he goes to hell because he rejected God's only way to heaven. Man sends himself to hell so to speak. <br />On a side note, God didn't intend for man to go to hell, it was a place for the devil and his demons. But once man sinned, it changed God's plan. A loving God made a way but some people can't accept it. Don't blame that on God.

You don't believe and somehow think this makes you impartial. I'll ask you this: what proof do you have that scripture is not the 'inspired Word of God'? What hard proof do you have that hell does not exist? Do you think Jesus was lying when he talked about hell? Do you believe in Jesus at all? Again--what proof do you have for your non-belief? Really think hard about that....and fwiw...ask God to show you the Truth. Truth exists.

She also has no formal college education or degree in nursing/ midwifery, she mentored with a lay midwife, and studied and took an exam via correspondence course based in Texas. As a nurse myself I feel very strongly about this, all midwives should be properly and safely trained, it is essential for the safety of both moms and babies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-87605665285986833202017-08-14T08:27:40.050-05:002017-08-14T08:27:40.050-05:00Anon @ 11:45.
