Ezekiel 18 is talking about “crimes”. It’s talking about “SIN”. You are contradicting God.
Babies arent innocent before the Law and Justice of God, they just guilty sinners. Now as far a National jurisprudence in Israel and human government things are different, people are guilty or innocence according to their crimes

If that is how God really feels about newborn babies, then he is not a God of justice.

One is born innocent, and remains so, until one reaches the point where they think they know enough to make a decision about sin/God. Being born into sin, means we live in a world that is predisposed to make sure we make the wrong decision about God. Until they understand and decide, babies have no sin to die from.


Alot of parents wondered this same thing and Paster Greg Laurie did a sermon on this a while ago. He said some of what you have in this paragraph saying that babies and young children get a free ride to heaven because they are too young to understand or haven't been taught anything about Jesus. Once a person gets old enough and has been taught and understands then it becomes if you accept Jesus or not.

No, you haven't. You said that the babies were born with sin. I am asking what was the sin that the babies committed.
Yes I have and if you want to jump into a conversation you need to learn how to pay attention

Babies don't go to hell, period. Provide one verse of scripture that mentions babies going to hell because of sins. You can't do it because no such verse exists.

Hello all
I have to apologize, In that i wasn't very clear. This is what I meant. I will do this in 2 Parts.
Part 1
Karlon was correct in my oppinion, According to paul there are 2 types of sin, The OriginaL or the root sin.
This means that all angels were created with this sin, it is like yeast at some point it becomes activated.
Then manifests in to the other type of sin which is action meaning the bad things we do to that lead to death.
the 7 deadly sins. in math, mark, and luke
Sorry im not giving exact scriptures, I am pressed for time and it has been several years since i have studied this, But i
remember the main points.
There is only 1 way to be saved. according to paul that is to recieve grace. and that means Act 2:36-38 to repent and
be baptised for the remmission of sin. and an intinty needs to be in the flesh and each individual has to make that
desision for them selves other wise lots of people would be sentenced to the 2nd death base on what some one else said
or did. Now that one way of recieving grace, is recieving the Holy Spirit through baptism. No other way can anyone be saved. No the Process
Angel goes to appointment. Jude. Gives up angelic host or body and enter flesh word through womb of woman. and becomes flesh. with no rememberance the things before, Now that Christ has shed his blood and paid the price. Now all peoples can be saved through grace. The recieving of the Holy Spirit through baptism. That can only be done in the flesh. And each and every individual must make that choice for our self. Except Lucifer he has been bared from becoming human. So his fate is sealed. But i digress. Now once we Are flesh. We as human beings can't make that desision for our self until we understand the desision we are making. Some reach that age of understanding at age 12, But for other later in life.
Conclusion
We must be flesh, and we must repent and be baptised for the remission of the original sin, The Holy Spirit will clean up the actionable sins we commit and wash them away.
that is why the simple i believe can not work. because even the devels say they believe.
Just remember a child just out of the womb can nol understand to make that choice. But by being born they met there appointment and they just go back to be with the lord. They fulfilled there oblagation.
and also remember that is what the millinial is for, they will get there chance, not a 2nd chance because they really never had one.
i hope this clears things up.

When must acknowledge that @brightfame52 is totally consistent in his "doctrines" and reveals the nasty result of such thinking.

Do stillborns and babies go to ‘hell’?

*

Romans 7:8-11. I was alive once without the law when I was a child... I had no understanding of the law as a child and I was sinless because where there is no law, there is no sin. But when I became old enough to understand the law, sin slew me.

John 9:41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of your sin. But now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

Romas 7:7 … I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 10 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came [to me], sin sprang to life and I died.

*

One is born innocent, and remains so, until one reaches the point where they think they know enough to make a decision about sin/God. Being born into sin, means we live in a world that is predisposed to make sure we make the wrong decision about God. Until they understand and decide, babies have no sin to die from.




Thoughts?
A few questions be fore my remarks.

1)would it be just to condemn a child to everlasting torment before they can act for themselves?
2)would mercy have any such place in that judgement?
3)would that depict the infinite love that God has for his children?
4)is the atonement of christ which is supposed to be infinite, somehow unable to claim such children.
5)who did christ say inherits the kingdom of God, what are we supposed to be like, and what did he say should happen to those who offend them?

No stillborns, infant deaths. They do not go to hell but are claimed by Christ.
