1 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | Cyclist | 75708 | ||
sniper, Praise the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who thought not of His own life but gave His body a sacrifice for our sins! Blessed be the lamb of God forever! First of all thank you for allowing me the opportunity to enter the discussion. A few of us members "hashed" this subject out a few months ago. You may want to do a quick word search and see the postings. I had, and still have, difficulty accepting the fact that no where in the word of the Lord our God is there a verse that reads "All those little children who do not yet understand, or those mentally ill that are not able to understand the preaching of the gospel that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, died for their sins, and rose from the dead shall enter the kingdom of God." Search cover to cover sniper. You will not find it. Oh how I wish it were there! Believe you me I dug out every verse I could find or think of in the debate so that I could have closure in my spirit that infants/babies and little children enter the kingdom of God. The Lord my God has blessed me, as well as many others I'm sure, with a heart that loves and at the same time has a burden for children. A burden which I am very happy to bear. I weep for them. When I see a child no matter where I am my heart reaches out to them and I pray for them in my heart immdiately. Although there is not a verse found like the one I mentioned above, I am comforted by these. John 14:13 "Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 16 John 14:14 "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. I ask the Lord our God in the name of Jesus to forgive the sins of infants/babies and little children. Luke 23:34 But Jesus was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." ......... I pray that the Lord our God forgive and have mercy on these little ones for they know not what they do. Mark 3:28 "Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 18 Mark 3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"-- Does an infant/baby or a toddler have the ability to knowingly blaspheme the holy spirit? John 20:23 "If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained." I wondered about this verse, but, as it was pointed out to me by an elder "We do not forgvie unto salvation. Only the Lord can do that." AMEN to that! Hope this helps sniper. By the way, how about filling in your personal profile. Always a brother in Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

2 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | disciplerami | 76412 | ||
Question: Where did David go after death? You wrote: "Search cover to cover sniper. You will not find it. Oh how I wish it were there! Believe you me I dug out every verse I could find or think of in the debate so that I could have closure in my spirit that infants/babies and little children enter the kingdom of God." Didn't Jesus say in Matthew 18 and 19 that it is we who need to become as children. If we are acceptable to God when we be 'as children', and if it is true that the 'kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these,' then why is it a stretch to conclude that babies and toddlers who die go to heaven? Seems reasonable to me. Good day. |
