Bible Question: Well, thank you Val, now we are getting somewhere. You believe, that GOD believes, that an unborn fetus is innocent and righteous, and therefore, cannot be a soul condemned to hell just because that particular soul contains the inherited sin nature of Adam. I believe that a tainted, contaminated nature of sin cannot gain entrance into heaven; how could GOD accept it? The sin nature first be cleansed and made holy, only then could GOD accept it. Maybe GOD has made provisions to accept an aborted fetus into heaven as BRADK explains, but it's a hard-sell for me at this time. I do not want to condemn anyone, aborted or unaborted, to hell, but I say these things as an explanation as to why abortion and the Pro-Choice movement is at an all time high in the world today. satan wants as many souls as he can get, and I believe abortion is his way of getting a whole lot of them. I welcome any feedback anyone may have on this matter. Thank you and may GOD bless you all. |
Bible Answer: Henry, In order for it to be true that, satan is collecting souls for destruction, would smack pretty hard in the face of divine sovereignty. Since we don't know who God's elect are, then we cannot know which unborn babies are headed for perdition. It sounds to me that if satan were doing what you assert he is doing, then God would have to be just, kinda sovereign, and the devil, would have possession of some of that power, power which he doesn't posses, by the way. Usurping God's divine sovereignty is really quite out of the question. You cannot say that God is sovereign and then give some of that ultimate power away. We need to mobilize our axioms when devising our doctrine. John |
