Subject: Can a toddler go to heaven? |
Bible Note: Here is what Sister Linda has taken her time to share with us from the Bible about this question: Children do not go to heaven. The only people invited to a heavenly resurrection are those who are "called, chosen and faithful" footstep followers of our Lord Jesus. The rest of the world will have an earthly resurrection. This includes all miscarried, aborted and stillborn babies. I had a miscarriage many years ago and so this question was a big one for me. The best scripture is Job 3:11-19. Here Job is asking why he was not a miscarriage (a hidden untimely birth...as infants which never saw light), if he had he would have lain with the dead kings and counsellors, princes, etc. in the grave. Here, in the grave, the wicked cease from troubling, the weary are at rest, the prisoner, the servant is free from his master (Ecc 9:4-6, 10). Here they are all waiting for the promised resurrection, the time when Jesus said (John 5:25-29), all that are in their graves. Those that have done good here are the Ancient Worthies , these are those listed in Hebrews 11. The word "damnation" here remember means "judgement" which is from the Greek word, "krises", which has a meaning of a trial and a decision. This is the rest of the world, raised from the dead, taught the Truth and then they choose obedience equals life, or disobedience equals death, the Second Death (Jer 31:29-30). Well, that's kind of in a nutshell, hope is helps! Lord bless, Sr Linda The Good News Minister |
