So they then need an opportunity to be able to make a choice and this could only come if they where brought back and given the opportunity to be able to make it? As God is Love, what would you do in his place having all power at your fingertips, so to speak, with those who are innocent through no fault of their own, as we are made in his image having the ability to reflect his love?

You are right when you say "plainly states" but this is what the Jews thought. Martha’s words at the time of Lazarus’ death are of interest here, for at that time God-fearing Jews had no hope other than an earthly resurrection. Martha’s faith was expressed in the words:- John 11:24 Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day." put with what is said at Ps 37:29 The righteous will inherit the land And dwell in it forever. It seems that the idea is powerfuly hinted at in the scriptures DBR |

Lets have a look how a loving and merciful God views young or little Children:- KJV Deuteronomy 1:39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it. It would seem there is a time during a young ones life when God views them as not having knowledge (understanding) of “good and evil” so then we must ask the question if that is how almighty God thinks how can he justly condemn an innocent whom he view as not knowing the difference between the two that is “good and evil?” So if we follow what the Paul said at Rom 12:1 I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent – Here the Greek word is logiken (Logic)) service and spiritual worship. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words Reasonable logikos pertaining to "the reasoning faculty, reasonable, rational," is used in Rom_12:1, of the service (latreia) to be rendered by believers in presenting their bodies "a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God." The sacrifice is to be intelligent, in contrast to those offered by ritual and compulsion; the presentation is to be in accordance with the spiritual intelligence of those who are new creatures in Christ and are mindful of "the mercies of God." So if I follow Paul’s example and apply reason/logic it tells me that as God is Just he would not condemn those he would consider that do not know good from bad, so the only just thing he could do is to give them another chance? This is what I feel the scriptures say to me and that it is a logical conclusion to draw, you don’t not have to follow it if that is what you feel. That’s ok by me. Thank you for your thoughts I do think about them, I fact most of today. Christian Love DBR |

I think Hank (12-5-01) has made a very sound comment on this point:- I can't agree that a child under the age of three knows that he has done wrong. He may know that a certain action of his brings a frown or a no-no from his mother without really understanding why. But I doubt he has any real sense of wrongdoing, much less any conviction of sin. I further withhold judgment that any child of "3 or so" could be held strictly accountable for his deeds. My wife and I had 3 children and they were, by any measure, the very brightest on our block, of course! But I could not see in any of them at the tender age of 3 or 4 any sign that they had reached the level of cognizance at which they had any genuine concept or conviction of sin or of their need for a Savior. --Hank Hope ypu do not mind me cutting and pasteing you comment Hank as I think it has much to say of Import here? Thank You both Love DBR |

Rom 10:9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Rom 5:9 Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. So how can a e.g. 1-4 yr old do the above? A prerequisite for salvation and gaining a place in heaven, God cannot brake his own rules so to speak otherwise what he said would be untrue, and that Cannot be. I will answer, they would not have the mental ability to do so, how would they understand sin and to repent from it? What would they understand about the Shed Blood of Jesus, they probably would not be able to spell Blood. How can a baby or young child do the following? Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]. How can they understand faith when they have not what finished using the bottle? Acts 17:30 Such [former] ages of ignorance God, it is true, ignored and allowed to pass unnoticed; but now He charges all people everywhere to repent (to change their minds for the better and heartily to amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins) If God is willing to let pass by him pagans who worship false gods in "ignorance" of him, are you saying that God will not let pass by him the death of a young one who died in "ignorance"? Some one said to me will God give them a 2nd chance, as I see it they have not even had a 1st chance as yet. As God 4 cardinal qualities are 1, Love. 2, Wisdom, 3, Justice, 4, Power, Not to give the innocent a fair trial would be wrong, it even is in the eyes of sinful men (and some of them atheists), so how much more so in the eyes of God, remember we are in God's Image and can reflect his thinking to some degree even though we are sinners, we have a sense of fair play, how much more so for a God how IS Love, not that he has Love but IS Love.? We could think of it this way, God seems to have 1 of 3 actions to take: 1 Send the to heaven, this has been ruled out by the above texts, God has to stay by his word. 2. Send the dead child to Hell, unthinkable as he was prepared to forget the past actions of ignorant demon worshiping pagans if the repented, the child has not got to the point of knowing about repentance etc. much less demon worship?! 3. Resurrect and let the child get to the point that he can understand about God, Christ and his ransom etc., which he or she was not able to do because of circumstance total beyond and out of their control. The latter I believe would be the action of a Loving, Wise, Just and Powerful and we can add Forgiving God, as Jesus died for all sinful humans so that they might be able to have a Good relationship with him God, children they died young did not get that chance to show Love of and For God Love says they need it. These are my scriptural reasons. DBR |

Thank you for your comment. I just would like to note one thing I did not say "God has no option" I said it seems to me etc., as I cannot not know God's mind commpletly as he may have somthing other to do:- Matt 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but ALL things are possible with God.

55 | what book is Lucifer mentioned | Is 14:12 | DBR | 127680 | ||
This “king,” that is, the dynasty of Babylon, ‘lifted himself up’ in his own heart and was in his own eyes and in the eyes of his admirers a “shining one,” a “son of the dawn.” (In some translations the Latin Vulgate term “Lucifer” is retained. It is, however, merely the translation of the Hebrew word heh·lel´, “shining one.” Heh·lel´ is not a name or a title but, rather, a term describing the boastful position taken by Babylon’s dynasty of kings of the line of Nebuchadnezzar.) (Isa 14:4-21) Since Babylon was a tool of Satan, its “king” reflected Satan’s own ambitious desire. DBR |

They where wicked me used by Satan as they used Satanic powers, they might not of know that they where a tool in his hand so to speak, to expose Jesus to Herod to try and have him killed!
