Re: [TruthTalk] Whose Names are Written in the Lambs Book of Life?

Yeah, Izzy, I know. At that point I was just beginning to brew. The pot boiled later on -- poor Debbie! I think that your answer is a practical-outworking part of the full answer, but it does not address the theological 'whys' of this issue. Like why were those babies even alive in the first place? How is it that in a fallen world, which can only produce death, there could be any human life at all? And the list is myriad.   For those answers we have to look to -- guess who? -- Jesus Christ!   Talk to ya later,   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 7:58 AM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Whose Names are Written in the Lambs Book of Life?   I said, for the life of me, I don't get it. I am sorry. You caught the brunt of my frustration. I have posted numerous times on the sufficiency of Christ's finished work to save babies the same way he has saved everyone else, "believers" included. We do not need a second "gospel" to get those who cannot believe into heaven. Our problems arise from a deficient view concerning WHO Christ is and what he has accomplished in our stead and on our behalf. It frustrates me when what I have said in regards to this is overlooked when the discussion comes up again. No, it is not your theology, and certainly not all of your theology from just one post. It is me through and through. Thanks for being gracious and making light of my comment.   Bill   Bill, I posted this yesterday and got (as usual) as resounding non-response.  What say you???   Speaking of such, I am of the opinion (have I ever been taught this???) that we are born with a propensity to sin—not actually already condemned by sin (since we haven’t yet).  So, in that case, anyone who dies prior to actually sinning is not under God’s judgment, and does not go to hell.  Is there some scriptural reason for not believing this anyone?  izzy
