1 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | goodnewsminister | 88128 | ||
1 Cor. 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be [the body which you die with is not the same body that you're resurrected with] , but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. Yes, God gives to every person 'his own body' in the resurrection mentioned in John 5:28,29 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. For those of us who believe in Christ and become members of His Body, the Church, we shall be raised immortal at the resurrection. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy Yes, those who are part of the RESTITUTION of ALL THINGS, will have RESTORED to them what was lost in Adam. Another text frequently misapplied to the world, which belongs to the Lord's consecrated people, says, "We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." (2 Cor. 4:7) Here the Church alone is referred to--those who have received the treasure of the new mind, the new nature. They have this treasure, or new nature, in the natural body, which is reckoned as dead, and here denominated an "earthen vessel." The illustration is quite a correct one for the class to whom it is applied, the Church; but it is wholly incorrect to apply it to mankind in general, and to suppose that every human being has a heavenly treasure or new nature, and that thus every human body is an earthen vessel or receptacle for such new nature. The world has but one nature--the human nature: it has no new nature, either as a treasure or in any other sense; nor is there any promise that it will ever have. Quite to the contrary, the highest possible aspiration ever to be opened to humanity, according to the divine Word of promise, is "restitution"--to be restored to the full perfection of the human nature, lost in Eden, redeemed at Calvary. Acts 3:19-23 : and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. Yes, for those of us who are to become 'partakers' of the Divine Nature 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; [to be continued...] |

2 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | goodnewsminister | 88130 | ||
We who will be partakers of the divine nature, are also partakers of the heavenly calling, to a New nature that is 'begotten' inside of us after we accept Christ as our Savior and consecrate our lives to Him. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Yes, this applies to the Church only, as we alone are 'partakers of the heavenly calling' and of the divine nature, the very nature of the Father, and we alone have the special salvation spoken about in the following verse: 1 Timothy 4 10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, SPECIALLY of those that believe. Notice, those of us who believe NOW have a SPECIAL salvation, in what way you may ask? Because we're being recreated as New Cretions in Christ and when we die or are gathered together with the Lord at the resurrection, we become 'born again' in the FULL sense of the Word as immortal spirit creatures...our earthly friends and family, along with infants and toddlers, do not, they look forward to the RESTITUION or the RESTORATION ( as in the NKJV) of all things lost in Adam...the restoration of the perfect paradise earth, perfect humanity in all it's prestine beauty and form, both morally, intellectually, emotionally and physically whole. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God Yes, those who are to inherit the Kingdom are to be spirit beings, as our Lord is, not fleshly beings as all others will be... ; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Those here upon the earth will be susceptable to the Second Death up until that time that they prove themselves worthy after Satan has been released at the end of the Millenium and they have passed that final test of loyalty to God, after having been RESTORED to perfection as Adam had it, with all the knowledge of sin and it's horrible effects- which is the purpose as to why God allows human suffering and evil to prevail now- so we'll learn thereby, and after having the law of God written in their hearts by the Holy Spirit, they shall STAND against the wiles of the Devil, then they shall be handed over to the Father as perfected humanity and then they will have everlasting life forever under the reign of God as the Revelation says that God will make His abode with them, and we along with God and Christ, shall make our abode with our human friends and family and thus shall infants who die be resurrected and raised under the 1,000 year reign of Christ, as state here, an infant can die at a 100 years old, seeming to indicate that God will give each individual 100 years to learn the Truth and to conform their lives to it's standards.Isaiah 65 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. Yes, these verses are speaking of the time during Christ's thousand year reign, when peace and the knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. I hope this has answered some of your questions. The Scriptures that you indicated were in Luke chapter 1, wherein John leaped in Elizabeth's womb when Mary came for a visit. This seems to indicate that John knew before he was born Whom it was that Mary was carrying in her womb. I'll research this and get back with you on this, and whether or not children are souls prior to their actual birth or not. I could be wrong on this and I will readily admit so after I have taken some time to ponder over the Scriptures and I'll get back with you on this one. Yours for the Truth, The Good News Minister! |
