Bible Question: Are aborted babies bound to heaven or hell? |
Bible Answer: Dear jo par, Greetings in Jesus' name! And welcome to the forum. Threads similar to this have been around since the early days of this forum. The Scripture I quote seems to give assurance to Christians that their children, regardless of age, are holy for the faith of the parent(s). As far as ALL children, no one, as yet, has made a clear case for their 'innocence.' This does not mean that I believe they are in hell, only that the Bible does not clarify their fate. Personally, I have wrestled with this one for 20 years. I thought it 'unfair' of God to send 'innocents' and the 'ignorant' to hell. Well, 19 years ago I gave this to the Lord. I KNOW I was worthy of hell! I KNOW He is worthy of all praise and trust!! I cast my 'emotional' burdens upon Him, that I may be free. Peace and joy in Christ Jesus, charis |
