Subject: Righteous, Unrighteous and Children? |
Bible Note: In Gen 18:24-32, Abraham pleads and the count goes from 50 to 10 righteous ... since God desrtoyed Sodom and Gomorrah (19:24), I believe there weren't 10 righteous. Lot, his wife and two daughters are four. God could not find six other righteous. I presume there were children around. Since, they were not righteous, they are unrighteous. Unless you know of another catergory. Nolan, I do not want to be right. I want the little children - who do not know their right hand from their left, to be with the Lord. I still don't have a satisfactory answer to why the children were not considred righteous. Steve |
