You have reminded us that Jesus does not reject children. Then you tell us He wants them to be baptized. I agree with the first part; end of story – answer to your question to me.
Then why do they need to be baptized?
Because your position seems inconsistant. Please don’t be mad for me sharing what appears to be true.Why would you even say that after what I just posted?
It is your belief that it is right. Again D the human ideal of fairness does not equal divine justice. We are sinners, fallen. Or do you not believe that, “all have sinned”? God owes it to no one to save them. God is just, we are sinners.
If I understand you, I agree. I’m not sure how this directly responds to what I’ve said here in correction of my viewpoint.
I get asked questions. I respond as I can. The only defense is to try to make clear my understanding of the Bible and what people like you are communicationing.
You believe that it is “right” that God would save infants. What I am telling you is that God would be perfectly right and just to send infants to their damnation. God is just, we are fallen sinners even infants. With those two facts, would He be unjust or wrong to not save infants? A just God dealing with sinners? Unless you do not believe “all have sinned”. God does not owe it to infants, adults, men or women to save them.
Excellent D, so you just naturally come off as defensive
I thank God for His grace, mercy and love. I thank Him He became a Human, lived perfect, died sinless for all sinful and was raised from the dead.
Or you naturally feel people that disagree with you, by answering your questions, are defensive.Excellent D, so you just naturally come off as defensive
Try to lighten up. Know who’s you are
God bless you
Nah, that’s not it. I am a married police officer, nobody agrees with me. I wouldn’t make it through the day if I believed what you suggestOr you naturally feel people that disagree with you, by answering your questions, are defensive.
I respect that, you and I share those beliefs. That doesn’t however, change the fact that God in no way would be unjust or wrong in not saving infants. We hope that, in His mercy and love and His desire that all men be saved, He would save infants but, in the end, we are sinners and He is just.
I got goose bumps reading that statement
In a good way. I find it hard these days to find people that understands man’s calamity before a Holy God.Is that good or bad?
BTW sorry about that, goosebumps are annoying.
God bless
So it’s you that is defensive.Nah, that’s not it. I am a married police officer, nobody agrees with me. I wouldn’t make it through the day if I believed what you suggest
God bless you
Now we’re getting somewhere.My guess is that God holds Himself to His word. Romans 13:8 tells us to owe nothing but love. Do these two sentences tell us God owes us His love?
As a police officer, Romans 13 is among my favorite verses. I even quoted it to a pastor that I had stopped who told me that I had no authority:
In this case my “sword” was my pen. He did not fight the ticket
Verse 5 also talks about avoiding “God’s wrath”
Jesus accepted children. That’s good enough for me.As a police officer, Romans 13 is among my favorite verses. I even quoted it to a pastor that I had stopped who told me that I had no authority:
In this case my “sword” was my pen. He did not fight the ticket
Scripture is telling us to love one another because by loving our neighbor we “fulfill the law”.
Verse 5 also talks about avoiding “God’s wrath”
Also in the context of that verse from Romans, it appears to be speaking about authorioty, debt etc.
God hates sin and as hard as it may seem to understand, infants are born in a fallen and sinful state.
God bless you
Not defensive, its “situational awareness”. It, and the Grace of God, is what brings me home every night.So it’s you that is defensive.
10-4 D, that is what is amazing about God’s love. We do nothing to deserve it and, in fact, we deserve quite the opposite. It is not unjust or wrong for a just God to deal with sinful and fallen creatures.
