1 | Why children as well? | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 104660 | ||
Thank you for the reply but what about the children? The children can't be all that sinful in nature can they ? Why can't they be spared and adopted where teachings be taught to them in Gods ways? Does it also mean that a race who is so sinful in nature that God had to wipe them out once and for all for there can be no hope of turning the children around or there were no plans at all to re-educate (bring) them into God's ways. | ||||||

Yes children can be very sinful. Look at a baby they are very self centered and if they were never trained and acted as they do as infants when mature they would kill in an instant to get what they wanted. As for adoption in those days children were a real liability and most orphans unless taken in by family were left to fend for themselves. Many would starve to death, instant death in that case may be viewed as being even merciful. Your question centers on their physical life which the Bible tell us is very short lived compared to eternity. We do not know how God handles children that die or are killed before they reach an age where they can make a choice themselves. Lastly God has declared Himself “just” therefore we have to accept that. There is no choice. What we view as being a possible or seemingly injustice really isn’t, we are just looking at it with our limited vision. The same goes for someone born blind or handicapped, we may view that as an injustice but God being “just “ will make the tally equal out at the end. I hope this provides some things to think about.

Thanks again very much. I was put on this question which I could not answer by a non christian. After some searching and studies thru the bible, and your comments, I should conclude as per Proverbs 3:5-6 " Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your path." shouldn't I ? God Bless |

Absolutely and once again I reiterate God has declared Himself just, scripture says God can not lie so therefore what seems like injustice to us is really not, but is in fact justice and we just don’t have all the facts to completely understand. EdB |

Edb, The question raised is very similar to "Why does God allow the innocent ( men, women, children ) die in terrorist attacks like 911. Surely, God can do something." I think we will never understand. Just like the ants wouldn't understand why people ride cars. God bless. Ngop |

Ngop The thing that disturbs me the most is people are quick point an accusing finger at God, saying, "why did God allow this to happen?" Then these same people ignore the fact that 40 million plus babies have been killed by their own mothers and they even have the audacity to call it a right and a choice. EdB |

EdB, Brother, we just look at it this way. These people you refer to are trying to seek God. Curiosity is the beginning of Knowledge. When they start asking "Why God did this or that" or "Where is God", they will soon find out the answers and EUREKA! another soul burdened by the 40 million plus babies killed by their own mothers. God bless Ngop |

Ngop You may be right in some cases, however in most people are trying to justify themselves outside of God. They believe if they can make God look bad then what they do won't be so bad. This is an age old tactic that most parents of two children experience. You call one in to discipline them and they immediately say, "well yes I did such and such but bro/sis did THIS!" This is there attempt to divert you, to make what they did pale in comparison to what their sibling did. Visit any prison after you get past "I'm innocent" the next thing they will say, "is yes I killed some one but at least I'm not like Joe over there, he is killed five or raped a child or whatever." So yes while I would like to believe it is someone with a healthy curiosity I find it is usually a person in sin trying to make themselves comfortable rather than yielding to God. That is why I used this open example, to show them pointing a finger at a just God trying to justify themselves doesn’t play well. Sin is sin and what they need is to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior to cleanse them of sin, not human justification. EdB |
