God does not send anyone to hell, they go there because that is where they want to be. Babies are innocent, the innocent belong in heaven.Hi everyone,
I have another small question.So needless to say it’s one causing havoc on my anxiety.
So I hold nothing against the Lord.I trust and love him unconditionally.But a thought that isn’t mine keeps repeating itself by saying “I can’t follow “a God” that sends babies to hell”,this thought isn’t mine,I didn’t conjure up this thought either,I don’t like it,I didnt willfully think it,I don’t even confess it to challenge the lord,I’m not even saying that I don’t want to continue discipleship either.I hate this thought/Question,I hate that it’s polluting my mind,and I hate it in general.Like I said I hate to have to type out the thought,every word in it I’m against.I would never ever refer to the Lord as “A God”.Nor am I debating my devotion to him either because im following him no matter what.But I can’t shake the question that causes me unwanted anxiety.
which is this.
“Where do babies that die in infancy go?,are they immediately taken to heaven,or are some sent to hell?”
That’s a philosophy I go by,people choose to go to hell.I agree 101%!God does not send anyone to hell, they go there because that is where they want to be. Babies are innocent, the innocent belong in heaven.

You can trust the LORD to do what is right, with every child and every unborn person. My opinion is that if you trust Him, then anxiety can not get the better of us.I can’t shake the question that causes me unwanted anxiety.

The context is that Paul proves that Jews are sinners, not just Gentiles.I do not post this to argue but to give every one some thing to consider.
If we look at the wider context of Romans 1-3, I think that we’ll see that Paul uses the word all in Romans 3:23 to speak of all humanity since creation, both Jews and Greeks.
But in Romans 3, Paul goes even further to show that the word all in Romans 3:23 doesn’t just mean “all ethnic groups have sinned,” “all in general have sinned,” or that “every kind of person has sinned.” Rather Paul shows that each and every individual of fallen humanity has sinned.
Consider the CONTEXT In Romans 3:10-11 where Paul makes this crystal clear:.......
“None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”
The fact that Paul denies the goodness of any fallen individual in Romans 3:10-11 should clarify his meaning of all in Romans 3:23.
Think about it folks.....There would be little reason for Paul to deny that any individual is good, not even one, if “all” always meant “all” without any qualification.
Thus, we see that the word all in alone in Romans 3:23
isn’t sufficient to prove that each and every individual descended from Adam has sinned. But the context of Romans 3 demonstrates that that’s exactly what Paul means.
Aborted babies have not developed any human personality yet and they have no understanding of the world, of themeselves or of heaven.Babies that die (for example abortion) go to heaven because they are innocent. There are some biblical proofs but even if you just use common sense you could think that babies cannot commit sin because they don't even know what sin is.
Aborted babies have not developed any human personality yet and they have no understanding of the world, of themeselves or of heaven.
So, in my opinion, really small babies of course do not go to hell to suffer, but may simply cease to exist as the spirit goes back to God and flesh back to earth. There is no human soul developed enough to be saved or punished.
The context is that Paul proves that Jews are sinners, not just Gentiles.
Thats why he qouted the text from the Old Testament about all Jews turning away from God.
The topic was not babies or individuality, but nations.
" So then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, so also death spread to all people because all sinned." Romans 5:12
I do not know, God knows.So at what age are humans accountable for their sins ??
“I can’t follow “a God” that sends babies to hell”
Only those who have sinned by their free will the unforgivable sin will end in hell.
No innocent is condemned to hell.
IF by babies you mean innocents who have never sinned then HE will not send them to hell. But many believe that babies are not innocent but sinful as proven by their deaths since death is the wages of sin, not a consequence of ife.
So the only question is: how did they become sinful? If GOD created them sinful by making them human in Adam then HE cannot righteously judge them as evil for being as they are created, yet they still die as sinners. Hmmm...
I suggest we start with HIS attributes a loving, righteous and just and define every doctrine we hear about HIM as to whether it fits HIS attributes at face value, not by sophisticated theological argument.
The consequence of sin is spiritual death, not physical death. Physical death is just a logical consequence of natural laws.But many believe that babies are not innocent but sinful as proven by their deaths since death is the wages of sin, not a consequence of ife.
The consequence of sin is spiritual death, not physical death. Physical death is just a logical consequence of natural laws.
Jesus physically died even though He was without a sin.
It certainly is related to each other.May I say to you that in the Bible, the word DEATH is interchangeable with "Seperation".
Romans 6:23........
"The wages of sin is death" = separation from God.
