Subject: Righteous, Unrighteous and Children? |
Bible Note: "But were they righteous?" There is absolutely nothing in these passages that lead us to believe that the children were righteous or unrighteous. Therefore, the answer to your question cannot be gained from Scripture, and any answer or conclusion to thereof would be based purely on nothing but speculation. I have written this to reassure you, not to continue to debate this point any further with you, since we have already debated on this issue long enough. --Nolan |
