And again, the question must be asked, "WHY? Why is it you cannot or will not believe that there are infants in hell?" What is there about an infant which you "feel" qualifies it for heaven? Is there some "special dispensation" for infants which overrides Original Sin? Or, perhaps you don't accept the doctrine of Original Sin and hold that all humans are conceived and born into this world with a "tabula rasa" (blank slate) as to morals, i.e., they are innocent until they commit some overt sin?
I don't think there is anything that qualifies an infant for heaven. I don't think anything overrides original sin. And I buy original sin. All of us are born sinful. But we are also all saved by grace. Every Christian is saved by the grace of God. I just tend to lean toward that those infants who die in infancy or in the womb are elect. It's grace that saves them. Just like us.
Would God be less merciful if He only saved one single individual from the entire race, and that a 90 year old man? Why is it more merciful to save an infant compared to an adult?
GOd would be no less merciful if He only saved one person.
I don't really think it is more merciful to save an infant than an adult. I just think it shows God's grace in a special way. Maybe I am just giving in to being sentimental. I don't know. I just know that I can see both arguements, and I know that neither side really has the answer cuz God's not made it clear in Scripture. So all any of us are doing is speculating to the best of our knowledge of the Bible. Either way, we are trusting that God has the right answer (because He does). The verse was posted earlier that says that God's thoughts and ways are not our's. I trust that God will do His will in the deaths of those babies. If He wills all infants to hell, than praise His Name. If He wills only some infants to heaven, praise His Name. If He wills all infants to heaven, praise His Name. I choose to believe that all who die in infancy or the womb are elect, and that only by the grace of God.
