Bible Note: cwade, The Lord is my rock and my strentgh! I will put my trust in the Lord my God for He is the great I AM! Blessed be the name of the Lord forever! You wrote:"We know we cannot lose our salavation, right? So if all babies are saved, would not all adults be saved? If not, at what point did the babies "lose their salvation"?" 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. In addtion cwade, You have not answered my question to you from a previous post. Will you? Please, please do not ever take questions from me as a challenge. I have never and will never ask questions to put any member of this forum "on the spot", and, I will gladly and in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ accept correction from any of my forum elders if it appears that way. My questions are all motivated by my eagerness to learn more and understand more of God's word. In the Lord Jesus, our Savior and Lord, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
