AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 18:6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble and sin [by leading him away from My teaching], it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone [as large as one turned by a donkey] hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. [Mark 9:42; Luke 17:2] |
Subject: Do all little ones believe? |
Bible Note: Charis, Great is the Lord our God who say's "heaven is My thrown and the earth is My footstool"! Great is the Lord our God who's eyes are everywhere beholding both the evil and the good! Great is the Lord our God! Praise His holy name! Thank you for bearing with me brother! Here I go again with more questions. If I'm getting carried away or off course, please write to me "OK Cyclist you are now getting carried away and off course." What do you think of this verse? Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." If those destined for God's kingdom were not born saved, from what or where were we lost? Surely at some point we were in the flock before we were lost or we would not be lost. At what point do you suppose that was? And what of this verse, Are babies/infants part of the everyone? Heb 2:9 But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. And finally, what do think of theses verses? Luke 9:55 But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; Luke 9:56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."] And they went on to another village. Here's another thing. In the Old Testament, sacrifices were made for the sins of all of Israel. Did that include the infants/babies? And yet another question. If I'm reading correctly, in the Old Testament, those that were under the age of 20 would inherit the promise land. Was 20 the age of accountability then? If I know children correctly, they mimick their parents and may have spoke out against God as their parents did, but, God was merciful to them and allowed them to enter the promised land. Well, time to get ready to jump on the bicycle. In Christ Jesus our Lord, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
