Bible Question:
Greetings to you all in the name of Jesus. I asked a question (post 98289) regarding the Protestants answer to the question to where do young children/babies go when they die. The response was very good and I would like to thank you all for your posts; The conclusion I have reached is that young children go to HEAVEN and not hell or the place known as limbo/place of happiness. The Westminster Confession of Faith would be the theologians answer. To those who showed that if King David said that he would see his son after death then as David went to Abraham's bosom/Paradi when he died then, as the word of God does not lie, then for David to see his son then his son would be also there. The matter of baptism as a requirement for entrance to heaven is answered when Jesus on the cross, this day you will be with me in Paradise, to the man on the cross beside Him. I can take no credit for these observations, credit is to the writers of the posts. At the begging of my quest I was informed that there where no scriptures on this topic so I must thank the only person that showed me that there is scripture that deals with, and supports my conclusion, where young children/babies go at the time of death. Thanks DAIRYLEADER5, (post 98624), the scripture is Romans Ch.9. v11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) KJV I hope that you who are of the Protestant persuasion agree with my conclusions and, if not, please let me know. SHALOM RJJ. |
Bible Answer: I do not know where young ones go, or those who are mentally challanged, or ... BUT God does ... Just because David said "But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me." means that it is true. Westminster Confession of Faith, other traditions, trends, theologians and others may not be correct. The Bible does not say David went to Abraham's bosom or Paradise when he died ... nor does it say he went to be with his son who died. IF his son and other young children do not go to Hell ... the next question is at what age to they have to accept Jesus as their Christ and Lord ... and provide Scripture support for the answer. Plus, how do you handle (read the context) - Psa 51:5 "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me." - Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, - Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned |
