1 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | goodnewsminister | 88103 | ||
Well, No they cannot. Acts 4:12 says that 'there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved' and since toddlers of those ages cannot believe in Christ for their minds are not mature enough to do so, they will not be members of the 'overcoming' Church, who alone with Christ will be given heavenly glory and be given authority over the nations in His coming Kingdom. However, they are of the stock of Adam and will all receive resurrections back here to human life on earth as John 5:58,59 states they will, and the Bible seems to indicate that they will be resurrected at the same age that they died, so that their parents and or other family members will be able to raise them during the Millenial Kingdom of Christ to manhood or womanhood. They will remain here upon the earth forever, as God's perfected human children in the paradise that will be restored to mankind by the Church class in the coming Age. Aborted babies? Same answer as above, but as far as the Scriptures say, unless they have breathed the breath of life, unless they've come forth from their mother's womb in birth, then they are not yet 'souls' and therefore will be as though they never had been, i.e. they are not promised a resurrection because they were never born and thus shall they stay. This is also in agreement with the Jewish concept of birth, a baby in the Jewish mind is not a soul until it has taken it's first breath after leaving the mother's womb, before that, the baby just isn't a soul yet so it has no promise of a resurrection. Because soul in the Hebrew means an 'air-breathing'creature and embryos are not yet 'air-breathing'. This also the same in the Spiritual sense as well, as 'bogotten again' New Creatures, we are not 'born again' until we take our last breath as a human and take a our first 'breath' as it were, as a Born Again child of God of the divine nature-although I do not believe that we'll need air as divine creatures, just using this as an illstration. To be 'born again' would be to already have partaken of the divine nature and to already be spirit creatures and hence, no one in the flesh may say that they are 'born again', but only 'begotten again'. Hence, if we fall away and are condemned to the Second Death, as the Church is under the treath of the Second Death being that we are the FIRSTBORN of God's new creation, just as the FIRSTBORN among Israel were subjected to the Death angel in Egypt, so also, we must REMAIN under the blood of Christ until we finish our earthly course or else Christ returns and we're changed in an instance in the twinkling of an eye in the FIRST resurrection. IF we, as members of the Church, fall away, Hebrews assures us that it is IMPOSSIBLE to restore us again to repentence and we'll die the second death and hence not be 'New Creatures' any longer, but dead ones for all eternity. I hope this answers your questions. In Him, The Good News Minister! |

2 | Can a toddler go to heaven? | Rom 3:23 | goodnewsminister | 88551 | ||
Here is what Sister Linda has taken her time to share with us from the Bible about this question: Children do not go to heaven. The only people invited to a heavenly resurrection are those who are "called, chosen and faithful" footstep followers of our Lord Jesus. The rest of the world will have an earthly resurrection. This includes all miscarried, aborted and stillborn babies. I had a miscarriage many years ago and so this question was a big one for me. The best scripture is Job 3:11-19. Here Job is asking why he was not a miscarriage (a hidden untimely birth...as infants which never saw light), if he had he would have lain with the dead kings and counsellors, princes, etc. in the grave. Here, in the grave, the wicked cease from troubling, the weary are at rest, the prisoner, the servant is free from his master (Ecc 9:4-6, 10). Here they are all waiting for the promised resurrection, the time when Jesus said (John 5:25-29), all that are in their graves. Those that have done good here are the Ancient Worthies , these are those listed in Hebrews 11. The word "damnation" here remember means "judgement" which is from the Greek word, "krises", which has a meaning of a trial and a decision. This is the rest of the world, raised from the dead, taught the Truth and then they choose obedience equals life, or disobedience equals death, the Second Death (Jer 31:29-30). Well, that's kind of in a nutshell, hope is helps! Lord bless, Sr Linda The Good News Minister |
