1 | Does child die for fathers sin? | Bible general Archive 3 | Truthfisher | 174434 | ||
Hi Lady, Thanks for your response, In Jeremiah 19:4,5 children that were sacrificed to Baal were indeed considered innocent by God. In light of other passages such as Psalm 51:5, Psalm 58:3, Isaiah 48:8 and Genesis 8:21(by the way the Hebrew word for youth includes infancy) We are all born sinners. In Revelation 20 and Romans 2:5,6 we will be judged according to our works/deeds. A child prior to reaching an age of accountability has no account against them. I believe all infants who die are among the elect and when they pass on from this world they go directly into God's presence. Thanks and God Bless Truthfisher |

Dear Truthfisher, Thank you for the Jeremiah 19:4-5 reference in this context. Historic Baptists -- of which I am one -- have held this position consistently over the centuries. "Elect infants dying in infancy are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit; who worketh when, and where, and how He pleases..." (1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, Chapter 10, Paragraph 3). However, I had never considered the word "innocent" in this passage of Jeremiah with this topic in mind. I appreciate your bringing it to light in your post. By the way, curiously enough, in traditional Jewish thinking, children are not responsible for their individual sin until they come of age (13). According to Talmudic teaching if the child sins God holds the parents responsible. In Him, Doc |
