1 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | cwade | 66681 | ||
Dear One, Romans 5:12-14 "Wherefore, as one man entered sin into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law". We have all been judged and declared guilty. Death has passed upon all men. From the womb, we are all sinners. And since "the wages of sin is death" (for all) then no one (even babies) are exempt. God said there is none righteous, no not one. He didn't say there is none righteous except babies. There is none righteous, and that includes children. One, I assure you this was difficult for me to accept. I, (just like everyone else) want to believe that children are not held accountable for sin. It is very difficult for me to break from what church leaders have taught me about the "age of accountability". But I can't be selective in what Scriptures say. I can't accept some as the truth and ignore others. If "none doeth good", and none are righteous, no not one, we can't say that some (children) ARE righteous. That makes no sense does it? -- I know greiving parents who have lost children don't want to hear this viewpoint, and I understand that. But I have to go on what the Bible says. However, true Christians shouldn't worry to much about this... we know God is Just and Good and always does what is righteous and true. We know God saves who He wants. And I believe if God was going to save a person as an adult, He would save them as a child. So...dear One, I will close with this question to you: We know we cannot lose our salavation, right? So if all babies are saved, would not all adults be saved? If not, at what point did the babies "lose their salvation"? In all Christ's love, cwade |

cwade, The Lord is my rock and my strentgh! I will put my trust in the Lord my God for He is the great I AM! Blessed be the name of the Lord forever! You wrote:"We know we cannot lose our salavation, right? So if all babies are saved, would not all adults be saved? If not, at what point did the babies "lose their salvation"?" What do you think of this verse? Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." If those destined for God's kingdom were not born saved, from what or where were we lost? Surely at some point we were in the flock before we were lost or we would not be lost. At what point do you suppose that was? And what of this verse, Are babies/infants part of the everyone? Heb 2:9 But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. And finally, what do think of theses verses? Luke 9:55 But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; Luke 9:56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."] And they went on to another village. In addtion cwade, You have not answered my question to you from a previous post. Will you? Please, please do not ever take questions from me as a challenge. I have never and will never ask questions to put any member of this forum "on the spot", and, I will gladly and in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ accept correction from any of my forum elders if it appears that way. My questions are all motivated by my eagerness to learn more and understand more of God's word. In the Lord Jesus, our Savior and Lord, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Cyclist, do you mean your question "are we born with knowledge of God"? You said you were searching the forum and I did not have to answer that one so I have not considered it. If you mean your question regarding "are the children saved because of the belief of the granparents"?, I am still researching that one. I promise I'm not ignoring you, I just want to be thorough. Please allow me some time to respond to your most recent comments. I am a new believer and am learning as I go. I post my research efforts to get feedback from the forum because I learn in this way. I hope that is O.K. Prayerfully, cwade | ||||||
