Did the babies killed in the flood go to Heaven, and if so why did they deserve to be killed?

Question

And if they were killed to protect them from their future, then why can't you perform euthenasia when it has the same purpose?

If they did not got to Heaven, then how is that just when they were babies and had no choice?

Casapulla: I happen to be 34 and married with a child and a responsible job.

Casapulla: What would it tell you about Christians if some drunk dude punched me for saying this?

Answer 1

They didn't "deserve" to be killed. That is the nature of sin. Its consequences reach beyond the individual sinner, and innocent souls are often harmed as a direct or indirect result of sin.

Answer 2

Every living soul not abord the ark was destroyed when god brought hid judgement on the earth as it was at that time. Indeed if had not been for the intervention of god then mankind wood have been wiped out. Genesis 6 v 13.
Only Noah and his family were worthy of salvation at that time. The bible calls Noah ' a preacher' so he had another commission as an evangelizer to proclaim the message of impending destruction to people as well as building the ark.
The children of those wicked families would suffer the same judgement. Mattew 24 v 39. they took no note until the flood came
When we die we go to the ground and we are no more. Adam did not pass inot heaven. neither did he go to hell. For from the dust he came and to the dust he would return god told him. If then , he was to be tormented eternally in a fiery hell and tortured forever over his disobedience was it not a bit unfair of god to hold back this information from him. Or do you suppose that Adam went to heaven as a reward for disobeying a command of god ?
God had not mentioned that as a possiblilty to Adam either.
We will leave the judging to God shall we ? Just worry about ourselves. What can be gained from wondering about little children who are dead and gone. Thelittle ones may be resurrected Revelation chapter 20. but who knows.

Answer 3

This is the morass you create for yourself when you try to take the Bible literally. The Great Flood was a natural disaster, not a deliberate act by God, and it didn't wipe out every living creature that wasn't aboard the Ark, any more than Adam and Eve were the first and only humans, only the first Hebrews. Many cultures around the globe have stories that recount the Flood and their version of what it was all about. God may have warned Noah that it was coming, but it's not likely He actually brought it about. I wouldn't lose any any more sleep over the babies that may have died in the flood than over the babies that die of starvation around the world every day. Do you think God is deliberately killing them off, too?

Answer 4

Hi 6000, (a new upgrade I see)

See my answer to your question about the bodies of those who died in the flood yesterday.

Yes babies who die in the flood or otherwise, are immediately qualified to continue in their progression as there is no sin or departure from truth.

As for why they deserved to die, i don't know that "deserved" as a verb is a descriptor that is appropriate. We all are subject to death. In many ways it is for some a blessing to die early and not be subject to the conditions of this world. That may be the case at that time.

Answer 5

The babies in Noah's day were killed, Why? it's because they were born to (angels, the sons of the true God) who took for themself wives upon the earth and they became giant's and were very wicked, they were called (Neph'i.lim) and that is why Jehovah brought about the flood. The heart of men were no good and they were destroying the earth.

(Genesis 6:2,3) says, then the sons of the[true] God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themself, namely, all whom they chose. After that Jehovah said: "My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amonut to a hundred and twenty years.

Basicly they died because our first parents Adam and Eve sin and pass death to all.

(Romans 5:12-14) That is why, just as through one man sin enterd into the world and death throgh sin, and thus death spread to all sinned-. For until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged against anyone when there is no law. Nevertheless, death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam, who bears a resemblance to him that was to come.

(Illustration) when you bake a bread in a bent pan it will come out at the bottom with a bent in it because it was bake in a bent pan how ever the pan was shape it will come out, it's the same with humans when being born into the world. Adam sinned we all sinned.

(Psalms 51:5) say's, Look! with error I was brought forth with birth pains, And in sin my mother conceived me.

I hope that this answer's your question.

Answer 6

I believe all babies go to heaven. God destroyed a wicked world, except for Noah and family and animals on the ark.

Answer 7

Yes, All the babies went to heaven and it was not that they deserved it, it was just if God said he is going to kill all humans that wasn't in the Ark, he means everyone, including babies.

Answer 8

I think that babies had not yet reached the "age of accountability" for sinning. They probably went to Heaven. But God is the only one who can really answer this. His decisions are way smarter than ours, and we can't possibly get it.

Answer 9

true and valuable question, it seams to me that the terminally hill, should be help to achieved rest, as well many babies and children's die every day, I learn that God in all his wisdom, will save then, of course if they are of a positive energy, and they can born again into the material world when that world get better for then to be safe, ina new life.

Answer 10

As I understand it, pre-christ, people just died, and went to Gehenna/Sheol/Hades (the world of the dead). Christ descended into Hades to preach to the dead to give them the opportunity to accept his sacrifice.

On judgment day, they will (llike everyone else) be judged according to what they have done.

So nobody goes to heaven when they die. They're dead and nothing happens until judgment day. On judgment day they will either get to be with God forever, or they will get thrown into the lake of fire to suffer the second death.
