Bible Note: Jules, Have you really thought through the full meaning of your statement that: "Historically, God has taken young people to heaven because they were good."? I am not so sure it is either historical or biblical to make such an assertion. I am inclined to say that it is biblical and historical in the biblical sense that we die because of the sin of Adam and that we are all lost because of that sin alone before we even have the oppourtunity to commit our own sins. So if God does choose to take the youg who die to heaven it is because He (God) is good and merciful, and because Jesus died for our sins, including Adam's, not because the children are good. "For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive" 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 Emmaus |
