Bible Question (short): 2 Sam. 12:23 promises to save babies? |
Question (full): Why do so many people see this verse as an assurance that babies go to heaven when they die? I would love for this to be true. But this is not what this verse is saying. To quote the Nelson Study Bible Commentators: "The child could not return to life, but David would someday join his son in death." This seem to be a more accurate interpretation. Does anyone else agree? STUDENT7300 |
