The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Are those who die young always part of the elect?

Clarification is needed here. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Ponder.gif" alt="" /> God does not bring/impose death upon someone who is "innocent", for death is one of the punishments which sinners experience and them only. Thus what I meant in my previous remark was that infants die, not because of some accident which catches God unawares. And it isn't that God simply "knows" who will die and when. God has foreordained ALL THINGS, including the death of all men, infants/children not excluded. God doesn't have to "impose" death upon an infant, because an infant is by nature under the sentence of death and condemnation already. God simply determines the time and circumstances of when that death shall occur. There is no such thing as an "untimely death". When IS the "proper" or "acceptable" time for a person to die? ANS: Never.. death is the enemy of mankind. It is the great revealer of men's souls, that they are all corrupt and at enmity with God.

BTW, some of us have read your messages and have not understood you to say that "all infants" are elect, but rather "all infants who die in infancy are elect". And you still have no biblical grounds upon which to base that wishful thinking, nor are your reasons logically sound. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
