Subject: Do babies go to heaven or hell? |
Bible Note: And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment (Heb 9:27) means death is final. Yes, there is resurrection ... in fact two (Rev 20:5ff). We are on dangerous grounds if something is given once and we discount it (children who disobey their parents). Numbers 14 gives us some idea about what happens at age of 20. 1 John 2:2 as well as John 3:16 says he died for the world. Just as coupons that are sent out and we get ... they need to be redeemed ... we must take action - accept them, believe that they are true and make the call ... else they are worthless to us. Children come with less baggage ... "such as these little children" ... since God wants all to be saved as He says in 2 Peter ... why does He let us live beyond a certain point. We condemn ourselves ... plus, if we wanted our children to get a free pass, we could never explain what is right and evn more important the way to heaven. Now answer ... Psalm 51:5 says we were born sinners (Gen 8:21, Psa 58:3, Jhn 9:34, Eph 2:3). Do you agree? God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah there were less than ten righteous (Gen 18:16-19:25) and only the righteous have eternal life, the unrighteous, eternal punishment (Mat 25:31-46). Were the babies righteous or unrighteous? |
