Bible Question (short): Were the babes of Sodom righteous? |
Question (full): Scripture ... Gen 18:16-33, 19:12-15, 24-25 ... I have posed the following to several people. They respond by citing other Scripture and not responding to (refuting) what sent. So I ask you to respond to what I have written first. Then, you may cite other Scripture. Do you believe one is righteous (going to be with the Lord) or unrighteous (separated from Him forever), including babies? I believe one is righteous or unrighteous ... there is no in between (Gen 18:23-24, Mat 5:45). There are other verses that shows there are only two camps (Mat 25:31-46; Jhn 3:16-18, 36; Rom 2:6-8, 8:5-8, 13; Gal 6:18 (5:16-16); 1Jn 5:11-12). In Genesis 18:16-33, Abraham pleads for Sodom. The Lord promised not to destroy Sodom if there were ten righteous. There were only four, at the most six, who were righteous (19:12-15). God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah (vv 24-25) ... I believe that there were babies and those in the womb, this because it is normal to have people of all ages ... so I think God declared them unrighteous. |
