We all go through the process of birth, life's journey and death. It's particularly sad when an innocent baby dies but death for all of us is because we are sinners, inheriting sin from our first parents, Adam & Eve. If there was no sin, we would live forever in holiness, peace and in God's presence. But sin has separated us from God; BUT God provided us a Way - the only Way - through His Son Jesus to get our lives right with Him. So when God looks at an innocent baby or a Christian, He sees our death as merely a transition from this life to the next. Of dead Lazarus His friend, Jesus said that he was only sleeping (Jn11:11). And God sees this of us too. But for the unbeliever, God grieves.
That's a pretty good answer Chris ! Also what judgements will babies have against them ? None since they are unaccountable . God promises to take care of those that have no parents and these babies would apply in my opinion. Their lives where cut short , but God will have something for them that is better . My opinion based on reading the word many years .
Thank you Bob. I believe that a baby, though born with a sin nature, cannot consciously sin. When a child arrives at the age of knowing between right & wrong (& that would be at quite an early age), then sin takes root & the child becomes a sinner. What a responsibility for Christian parents to include sharing the message of salvation to their child as well as nurturing them in other ways.
I am positive that babies who die are taken at once to heaven. Mark 14:16 Keep praying for them. We know WHO is taking care of them. I gather things from friends and neighbors and take them to an orphanage near me. Some people sew beanies for kids having chemo.
Take some of that pain & shower it on another child. It eases the feelings.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
We will see those we've loved and lost, again. I learned to ask the Holy Spirit to comfort me.
free choice not god who kills children man chose man they make everything we eat we drink even knowing things are unhealthy for human race , but we turn from God and lived our lives the way man does. so my opinion is no he does not
