Subject: The age of accountability |
Bible Note: Psalm 51:5 says we were born sinners (Gen 8:21, Psa 58:3, Jhn 9:34, Eph 2:3). Numbers 14:29 seems to indicate that 20 is the age of accountability. David wasn't talking about going to heaven to be with his son, but to the grave (2 Sam 12:23), read Genesis 37:35. Also, when Abraham pleaded for Sodom, I believe their were babies, yet they were not considered righteous (Gen 18:26ff). I believe there are only two camps - righteous and unrighteous. So the babies were condemned, because they were unrighteous. I hate to think that babies and those who cannot reason are going to be separated from God. If they go to be with God - do they grow up, have their minds changed so they can reason? There are many questions that can be posed on both sides ... and since there isn't not any Scripture that you used (Rev 20:12 doesn't support it), nor are there any to support that babies and others go to God when they die, we must leave it in God's hands. |
