Bible Question:
It bothers me that the children in Sodom were not considered righteous (Gen 18:27-30). Is there another catergory besides righteous and unrighteous? I hope so, but, I cannot find it in the Bible. Please help. Romans 1:18-20 came to mind. I don't think the children understand what God has revealed. |
Bible Answer: Hi, You have to consider there may have not been any children there. And if there were maybe they were older and involved in the sins of Sodom. Though I WILL NOT question God's judgement, because He is Just and it a WHOLE lot smarter than me. TOFT |
