    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    I just gave you the biblical truth. You just responded with your own heartful but unbiblical sentiments. That is understandable, it's just not true. So you can continue to lean on your own understanding without hearing the truth...or you can listen up. Your choice.

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    That is not correct, as it wrongly assumes (against the scriptures) that flesh and blood can inherit the kingdom of God--which is biblically not true.

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    You are looking at it all wrong. The reality of all people since Adam (including babies) is not first rooted in their acts of sin, but rather in being children of sin: Those who are born out of sin, sin. That is what they/we are as children and descendants of Adam categorically, of which there...

    I never said anything of the sort.

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    You can "leave it at that" if you choose, but it would be wrong. The error is in not fully understanding that this world is the full manifestation of good and evil...and babies are not excluded, but included. And it is this that is just, because many are the children of evil, in addition to...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Conjecture of what one only believes should be offered in the form of questions. Maybe theology is dangerous.

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Many of the learned only learn the scriptures as literature, which then fails to fulfill what they thought they knew and did not.

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    If you are going to call names, then I suppose that makes you a name caller. Each is known by his fruit.

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    God is indeed just and not evil. But that does not take away the fact that all children after Adam are condemned by God to die for sin. And to campaign for the would-be innocence of children because Jesus used them as the object of comparison to the children born of the spirit of God does not...

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    No :( ..you are confusing works with proof by fire. The scripture refers rather to works as what one is actually made of, whether mere flesh or the spirit of God. Again, just as all things are, this is a parable. It refers to the wheat verses the chaff. And what of the blood? Is it too not a...

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    Jesus also spoke in parables. Did you not know that all who are born of this world are parables merely made in the image of God? What better parable then to teach that one must be born again than to refer to children? But what then...are children all born first of the spirit of God that you are...

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    That is not the whole of scripture, only the wishful thinking of good hearted people. The whole of scripture shows rather that one man Adam sinned creating a race of sinful people of his "kind"(--just as the young born of beasts and serpents), which unfolded from the one to be as many as are...

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    You are reacting as if we are all born innocent when we are not, but are born the children of sin as a fallen bloodline. You apparently have heard nothing of what God/scripture has said or what I have said. If we were all born of heaven we would all go to heaven, but we are not. How is it that...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    The one does not void the other. Regarding "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me", did Christ not endure sin until death? He did, but you stating this verse would seem to assert that He was baptized and then never again came under sin afterwards, and that that is the model...

    Inconsistency of Christians never being sinless

    This is indeed a great misunderstanding. But to be clear, being "double hearted" is one kind of problem, and being (as with Paul) double in body and heart, the one waring with the other, is another problem entirely. In Paul's example, in his heart he was not at war, but only that his new heart...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    It does indeed sound like you are advocating for a perfectly lived life. History is surely repeating itself. Yet it would be better to confess as Paul did, that although it was in his heart to do what is perfect, that he "did not do." Meaning, that no, we do not attain perfection in our flesh...

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    To clarify...No, all babies do not go to heaven. According to the explanation given in the record of creation by God, each creation is created "after their kind." Meaning, that if Adam and Eve had not sinned, Yes, each baby born to them would have been born without sin. But that is not the...

    Christian Anti Aging

    No, but the wheat and the tares both live and die under the same judgment ("the wages of sin is death"). This is why Jesus (the salvation of the world) came preaching that we must be "born again"-- that is, if we are to live longer or "forever" we must put out our "hand and take also of the...

    Thoughts on Comparing Translations in Bible Study

    It doesn't matter. It is of course a good study to understand the issues of translations. Thank you. Yet it is more important to understand that regardless of any and all of these issues God's word is His providence alone...and not that of the translators. In other words, all translation...
