Not sure what you're saying Jeff.

He's trying to tell you that he's not sure if God sends babies and children to Hell when they die. Because it isn't expressly stated in the scriptures, "God doesn't send babies and children to Hell when they die." 

A better question would be to inquire of Jeff, why does he insist on arguing that babies and children may go to Hell when they die? Even going to the effort of reviving a dead thread years old that can be inferred to speak to this same issue and admitting there that he was vexed by the conversations in this one that didn't go as he'd wished. Conceding it is possible babies and children go to Hell when they die. 

Why does Jeff need to argue that babies and children can go to Hell when they die? Sent there by God? After his only begotten son who was God with us told those he was ministering the message of salvation to that first they must become like little children in order to enter Heaven.

That's not the issue at all.

 

The simple, obvious point is what GOD'S WORD says .

TRUST GOD, TRUST GOD'S WORD.  What HE DOES NOT TELL US,  is whether babies go wherever or not.  HE just does not say, as has been openly acknowledged, simply truth, for thousands of years.

 

To claim HE SAYS one or the other is disobedient(wittingly or not) and adding to or taking away(wittingly or not) from HIS WORD.

His word tells us that babies and children not able to be held accountable as sinners enter Heaven. If it were not so his only son would not have told us that to enter Heaven we must become like that. 
 Jesus always spoke in parables so that not all would understand. Scripture speaks to that also. Jesus was followed about by enemies hoping to have cause to have him stopped for what he said to the people who listened to his ministry. He could not be arrested before his time for simply speaking parables, often those known to the Jews from their own ancient scrolls. 

The whole Bible is like that. It is not meant for the unbeliever to understand. It is filled with parables, idioms, simile , allegory so as to deliver a message to God's people. Because as Immanuel told us, no one comes to him save the Father lead them.

You are forgetting to factor in the " age of Accountability "  which is also established as a criteria in the scripture . 

But you are correct that in the view of satan and the satanic nothing is more desirable than the destruction of the most innocent life , which would be infant life .

Not a new concept to the satanic as even detailed in the scripture the pagan god Molach required the children being burned alive .

no I didn't.- I stated "age of accountability"- that of course is infants- but also includes those who have no real knowledge or concept of sin

The scriptures do not state what the age of accountability is. However, newborns, and infants, are innocent and are not yet at that age. When they pass they would still enter heaven and return to the Father.

You wish to invoke Father's words?  God's word does not say the unborn, babies, nor infants, enter Hell.  Therefore, they do not. Therefore, you have no argument or platform from which to proceed as you attempt to wrongly insist the unborn, babies, and infants would suffer Hell and damnation for eternity. 

If you disagree, being you invoke Father's word as support for these discussions, post the exact scripture that says Father sends the unborn, newborns, and infants to Hell. 

That all have sinned and fallen short, as the word says, does not apply to the unborn who cannot choose to accept Christ, the newborn, who are not able to sin, nor to infants, who also cannot make a conscious decision to sin or repent and follow Christ. 

Proceed.

I have often looked into the eyes of a newborn and found myself asking them to tell me about God as they just left him to come here.  I expounded this idea from Jeremiah 1:5 where it says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you".  To me, if God knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb, is it possible we knew Him before entering this life? 

Before one can actually make a decision of good and evil, they remain innocent in my eyes.

No. 

Souls did not have life, did not exist, until YHWH 'sparked' (gave) life at conception to them,

according to all SCRIPTURE.

I can assure you there are really people out there that don't deny Christ, but at the same time aren't convinced there's anything to "escape".

Escape? No. They don't escape.(Even though they might think there's nothing to escape. That doesn't matter.)

Life ? Usually absent. ... Understand ? Not unless GOD grants it from heaven. 

Easy ? No. - people make it as if very hard on themselves and others. 

Yes though - for those who become like little children trusting the FATHER to accomplish salvation in this life and in the life to come. (same as JESUS told necessary for the disciples, and apostles)  .. "easy, joyous, with perfect peace!"

Obvious ?  No.  The LIGHT came into the world,  and the world chose to love darkness instead. They remain in darkness. (unless each one likewise turns to GOD to be healed)

Hope ? No. Without CHRIST,  the gentiles and pagan nations are without any hope in the world.

Everyone ? No.  In the world people do not have a sound mind.  They cannot see the truth, nor comprehend it.

Everything in the BIBLE is truth, and accurate ,  as YHWH (GOD) SAYS.  But the whole world rejects HIM.....

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
