Bible Note: DBR, the scriptural texts that you cite in your post as proof that God has no option with decesased infants but to resurrect them and give them a second chance does indeed prove no such assumption. Dear user, what you cite as "my scriptural reasons" are really nothing more than "DBR's wishful thinking." Friend, we simply cannot afford to bend Scripture in an effort to try to make it fit our theories. On the contrary, we must pattern our beliefs after what Scripture actually teaches. And Scripture never teaches post-mortem justification for anyone, i.e., no second chance at salvation. "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27). But, yes, there will be a resurrection; there will be, in fact, two: one of life (Jn. 5:28,29; 1 Cor. 15:22,23; 1 Thess. 4:14-17; Rev. 20:4-6; and one of damnation (judgment) (Jn. 5:28,29; Rev. 20:5-6; 11-13). Yes, everyone, the redeemed and unredeemed, infants and adults -- the young and the old -- will be resurrected. But the Bible does not in any way teach that a single one of them will be resurrected in order to be given a second chance to be saved. Not even one. --Hank |
