Bible Question: Were in the Bible does it say that all babies go to heaven if they die? But if they reach an age of accountablity and do not receive Jesus they will lost forever. Please do not say it is in God's word. |
Bible Answer: The concept God illustrates throughout scripture is choice. We must choose to follow Christ or else we will die spiritually. Yes, God commanded the Isrealites to destroy the children of pagans in several instances during the OT times. He himself destroyed all life on earth at the Flood, but the souls of these children, unable to ever understand and obey His commandments, were spared for eternal life. To say otherwise would make God unjust and we know that is impossible! See also Matt 19:13-15. |
