261 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 3:18 | Aspiring Overseer | 138583 | ||
Lisa, Those who died before Jesus' death died under the Old Covenent and therefore did not have a promise of eternal life. Everyone since the establishment of Christ's Church has had the opportunity to hear, believe and respond to God's requirements through the New Covenent. Whether they seek that information is their choice, thus ensuring God's faithful servants are those who truely seek Him. Children, and those adults with the mental capacities of children, were never expected to understand the commands of God and therefore are not held to the same standard. Thus a child who dies before becoming mature enough to "keep the commandmants of God" will not be held responsible for that immaturity on the day of judgement. Best regards, AO |

263 | Are those drawn 2 Christ raised to life? | Rev 13:8 | Aspiring Overseer | 88410 | ||
Tim, Doug and any other readers, Belief that God is the one and only God is necessary before anyone will devote energy to listen to the Word. They will not understand that word unless they are sincere in their desire to seek God. When John 6:44 and 6:65 state that the Father draws or grants salvation, it is implied that He does that due to their obedience of faith. Some are not seeking and some seek, but not with understanding. It is only those who seek understanding and demonstrate obedience that the Father draws to Christ. AO |
