You are making a forgiveable mistake when reading scripture. Many make this mistake. Namely, you are not grasping that scripture chiefly refers to adults and not children.
Example:
1. When God tells Abraham that their are less then ten righteous in Sodom, do you think He was considering all the children and babies? No. He was not.
2. When God says the world was evil at the time of Noah, was He referring to children? When all died in the flood, do you believe children went to Hades with the adults?
All under the age of twenty were spared by God in the wilderness and saw the promised land. Jesus says, heaven belongs to children.
You need to understand that God is not a fool that sends a child to Hades / Hell. As such, all children are excempt, neutral. There is NO SUCH THING as an evil baby. If any believe that, they are the definition of mental cases and need to see a doctor. Please take that with a pinch of salt . I used to believe it as I was taught it. It is untrue heretical, nonsensical tripe.
I gave a scripture to support my statement and have explained this view in post 37 above.
Your statement is ironic. Just I do not consider you a false teacher, just miss taught. But now you know the truth. A cute little baby is 100% innocent and sinless. No baby will ever go to hell.
This should be painfully obvious. Just absolutely insane that so many can believe such error. Many do not chew properly on their beliefs. Crazy stuff.
You need to understand something very important. There is a fine line here between incriminating God as wicked verse humans as wicked. You are stepping on incriminating God.
If God made is evil, God is evil. If God made us with the ability to choose good and evil, God is good as that is giving us free will.
As such, ANY teaching / statements of 'babies born with sin, all with propensity for sin, Adam 'definitely' choosing sin, sinful nature from birth, these are all heretical statements the devil pushes. The devil wants all to have a tainted picture of God in their minds. We need to identify this extreme error and not help the devil. We are ambassadors of God.
You are defending the leftist heresy that upends the basic principle of Christianity, which is original sin. Without Christ all are naturally on the broad way to destruction, the only difference is in Luke 12:48, "he who did not know yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with FEW; for everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the MORE." A cute little baby may look innocent to you and I, from dust he still comes from and to dust he still returns. If he doesn't have a new birth in spirit, then there's no afterlife with Christ.
