Something to that.Where did Christian Universalism come from? - New or old?
all the isms sneak in through cracks in the armour.....and pretty soon that baby births new ones.
In my view she would be in heaven, She had not yet reached the age of accountabilityThat is wrong on so many levels. - LOL
Another parody... (but serious)
Person #1: ... and that's the gospel. Will you receive Jesus?
Person #2: Sure, but I have a question.
Person #1: No problem, what is it?
Person #2: I lost a baby. Will she be in heaven with me?
Person #1: Well... ahem (clears throat) Um... (cringe)
Person #2: Well what! ???

What is hell?Who created hell? (from your perspective)
.
Your parodys do not workThat's not a choice. That is extortion.
Imagined conversation between Jesus and a distraught mother in heaven. (parody)
Mother: Lord, I was remembering my child.
Jesus: Yes, I can see her now in torment.
Mother: When will it end?
Jesus: Hell is forever.
Mother: Is there no hope for my child?
Jesus: Sorry, no hope for those in hell.
Mother: Surely my child has been punished enough by now.
Jesus: No, unbelief is an eternal crime.
Mother: I would gladly trade places with my child.
Jesus: I couldn't do that to you.
Mother: Why can you do it to my child?
Jesus: They are my enemy.
Mother: Didn't you teach us to love our enemies?
Jesus: Hmm... you got me there.

On the contrary, my good fellow.
Mercy is the best outcome of judgment.
Do you not understand that UR includes judgment?
And that judgment does not infer a harsh sentence.
The God who taught us to love our enemies will do no less with his own.
Unless you believe that God operates at a lower standard than he holds us to?
Do you believe that?

I do not have to do anythingReminds me of what military men say to accuse war atrocities.
Enlisted man: I didn't kill all those people, I was just following orders.
General: I didn't kill all those people, I was just giving orders.
Obviously, someone killed all those people. They didn't kill themselves.
Oh wait... that's your justification about hell. They incinerated themselves. - LOL
You'll have to do better than that.

Christianity is for the whole world in fact !
If one claims it's not, then one is not worthy of Christ Jesus in fact !
What does someone who undermines Jesus think, that it's National, for just one spot ?
Everyone needs Christ Jesus in fact, for if they don't, they are a curse in fact ! a blight to God in fact regardless. for they are not found !
That's a doctrinal workaround.In my view she would be in heaven, She had not yet reached the age of accountability
Hell is not created yet?What is hell?
To me it is the final resting place for all who have rejected God.
I am not even sure Hell is created yet. Everyone who dies having rejected Christ currently goes to hades, where they await final judgment
Where was God when the Devil appeared before him twice in the book of Job?The truth is that everyone is guilty before God. God can not allow sin in heaven.
You need to stop blaming God for not loving his enemies.You need to stop blaming God...
Judgment is not a final verdict. People forget that mercy is an option to Him who is FULL of mercy.Hebrews 9:27-28 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Judgment is not a final verdict. People forget that mercy is an option to Him who is FULL of mercy.

How do you know that the second death is final?How is it not the final verdict since it is the SECOND DEATH that is forever?
How do you know that the second death is final?
Is that not a presupposition?
Death of what? Are the dead not already dead?
Does it mean double dead? ???
/
Judgment after "the first death" wouldn't make it final. Everyone will be judged, right?Because Scripture says men die once then comes the judgment. Since being cast into the lake of fire is the SECOND DEATH, how can it not be final?
She is either in heaven or hell for all eternity..That's a doctrinal workaround.
Not sure what this has to do with a babyIs not every human born a member of Adam's fallen race?
It wreaks habit on good theology also. Because until we are born again. The things of God are foolishness to us. In fact. it would be easier for a human to believe bad theology than good.Once again, our God-given human conscience wreaks havoc with bad theology.
Thats just the biblical truthLike: "God is not incinerating no one. He is allowing people to chose where they want to spend eternity."
This is a future even, after this heavens and earth are destroyed and made new.Hell is not created yet?
Matthew 25:41 NIV
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed,
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
/
He was not in the place prepared for those who will be his children.Where was God when the Devil appeared before him twice in the book of Job?
/
You need to stop bearing false witness against meYou need to stop blaming God for not loving his enemies.
/
once a person leaves this earth.Judgment is not a final verdict. People forget that mercy is an option to Him who is FULL of mercy.
