The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum What happens to the unborn dead ?

Brad,

I haven't read either Nash's nor MacArthur's book, but I am familiar with the position held by the other's you mentioned including Lorraine Boettner. With the view held by these men and others, it is based upon sheer presumption, i.e., usually on God's mercy and/or covenant. Neither is grounded upon biblical truth. All it would take is but one single text to show otherwise that all infants who die in infancy are not elect and their position falls to the ground. I would offer Rom 9:11-13, where Jacob and Esau were the object of both God's grace and judgment before they were born. No time at the moment to expand so that will have to suffice for now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

In His grace,
