Subject: Can a toddler go to heaven? |
Bible Note: Dear Sniper, I don't believe we can be dogmatic on issues where God has not provided us with all the answers. If you take your statement to it's logical conclusion it means all infants are damned to eternal punishment. Does this doctrine square with our knowledge of the nature of God? I say it most certainly does not! Our God is mercifull and just. In all of it's long history, the wholesale commitment of infants to eternal punishment has never been taught by the church. King David believed that he would be reunited with his infant child which God had taken from him. I believe all christians may share that same hope. But, perhaps I have misunderstood your post. If so, I apologize. Our family lost a 2 year old girl just this past Wednesday (My sister's niece) and I am particularly sensitve this subject at this time. To all who read this post, please pray for baby Tatum's parents. To my knowledge, they are not christians. God Bless, John Reformed |
