1 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | charis | 67013 | ||
Dear Cyclist, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Brother, a little fireworks is normal on a public forum. :-) Indeed, switching gears is also very normal. What began as a fairly straightforward question became a somewhat emotional issue. I have read carefully your posts, and looked into the Scriptures you used in reference. I continue to find little convincing argument for the innocence and-or blanket release of children from the sin of Adam. I base my beliefs on the lack of evidence, and my observation of the rebellious nature of children. I've said this same thing several times, so many will want to pin a 'broken record' label on me. "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me." Psalm 51:5 NASB. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6 NASB. "Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him." Proverbs 22:15 NASB. Yet again, I say that I have no desire to 'place' babies in hell. I simply find little concrete evidence they are in heaven. God is just. I rest in His justice. Mark 2:17 - We are saved from our sin, from the nature that curses us, not our actions. Therefore, we are saved by grace through faith, not because we decided to repent. Matthew 21:15 - I doubt these children were 'infants and babes.' They were most probably the children of believers. We DON'T know. So don't presume. John 20:23 - WE don't forgive (to salvation) anyone. James 4:17 - Children are aware they are sinning. They know when they take another chold's toy that it is not right. They know to displease the one who feeds them is not right. In any case, many adults 'sin in ignorance' and are accountable. This is the sin of foolishness. 2 Timothy 2:19 - Amen! Friend, it is late. Good night and God bless. In Christ Jesus, charis |

charis, I will glorify the Lord of lords who is Christ Jesus! I will glorify the lamd of God who is Christ Jesus! I will glorify our Savior who is Christ Jesus! I will glorify Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior with all my heart, soul, mind, strength, and all that is within me! Thanks again for this discussion! You have helped me to grow in the word of the Lord our God. You have made your points clear on all of these scriptures. I especially like the point that you made on John 20:23 - AMEN! Through sharing with you on this subject, I am convinced that there is nothing that you have found in the scriptures that tells us that all infants, babies, or children are saved. Well, bless you brother! And again, thank you! I do look forward to sharing posts again, on a different subject. I think that when someone does a "quick search" they will discover that almost everything to be said (written)on this has been said, as far as this forum is concerned anyway. So to steal a line from you, if I may "And everyone said - AMEN!" I will continue to pray for you and your ministry. Thank you for staying up later than you might normally have to respond to my post. Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
