will the young babies or the stillborn be saved according to the so-called Adam's inherited sin?

Answer 1

God's foreknowledge of the contingent choices that an infant would have made when old enough to possess the capacity to exercise their free will enables God to judge accordingly. Others hold that the death of a child before they have reached an age of reason means that the child will be in heaven at their death.

Christ taught as much:

Luk 18:15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Luk 18:16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
Luk 18:17 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."
(ESV Translation) (see also Matthew 19:13-15 and Mark 10:13-16)

More evidence:

David had a son named of Absalom, a son who was sinful and rebellious towards his father and tried to dethrone his father—in other words, a very bad son. Recall that he was killed in a rather horrible death. David’s response was: “Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son, my son…” and he goes on and on and on and there never is any relief and no one can get David to stop wailing, and David cannot overcome the emotion and the horror of it all. The bible tells us that there was no way to comfort David.

Now compare the above with David’s son born of Bathsheba. When the child became ill, David prayed to God to save the life of the baby. David prayed earnestly, and was told that the baby died. David got up, washed, wiped away his tears, and said, “He cannot come to me; I’ll go to him.” See the differences in these two stories?

David wasn’t saying, “I will be buried in the grave near him.” That would have been true of Absalom. This is one indication of the David’s faith in the goodness and grace of God for the **innocent** (baby) and the hopelessness of David, knowing the judgment and the justice of God upon the **guilty** (Absalom).

In another example, consider the babies that were offered to Molech, the pagan god. These babies offered to Molech are referred to in the prophets as “the blood of the innocents” (Jer. 19:4) and when God says they are innocent, that’s a strong indication of the fate of these babies.

Answer 2

God's word covers all children. Young, unborn or stillborn. The bible says that children are the kingdom of God and Jesus said, "Let the little children come". I lost a little baby who was stillborn and I know that she is secure and resting in Jesus. These little ones are not innocent and yes have inherited sin through adam but they didn't get the chance to make the mistakes that they would have made. You can be sure that all children go to heaven. It's a fact.

Answer 3

This is an interesting topic, and one which isn't new by any means. It's my uninformed opinion that this is one of the great puzzles in Christian theology. I'm no Christian, but theological puzzles are very interesting, and here's how I'd go about setting down the problems of this one (in, of course, my own uninformed manner):

On the one hand, you have the concept of Original Sin. There's no getting around it, either - Paul states explicitly the all mankind has sinned in Adam - that we were all somehow complicit in the first act of disobedience. If Paul is to be accepted as a prophet, the notion of Original Sin is there for all human beings - cute, fuzzy little babies included (ok, not so much fuzzy). This is why St. Augustine takes so much flak nowadays - he suggested, in accordance with his understanding of Pauline principles, that babies who died unbaptized (i.e. unwashed of their share in Adam's sin) logically must go to hell. Horrible, I know, but if one takes the Pauline premises of the argument to be true, his conclusion is valid.

I would argue instead that babies don't really go anywhere. They're not people in the sense that adults, or even children are. There's no sense of self, no awareness - simply hunger and need (not that much different from an adult, I'll grant you, but I would argue that the sense of self-awareness is a critical component of personhood). Now, you may argue that babies are self-aware. You may be right, too. I'm simply positing an alternative end for the poor kids that Augustine validly argues are condemned by Paul's concept of Original Sin. I'm fully open to the possibility that I'm wrong about it, and am also fully aware of the implications that this hypothesis brings to bear (such as what happens to the mentally handicapped).

On the other hand, there is the God's statement to Abraham (? I'm not as up on my OT as I am on the NT, so I might be wrong about Abraham) that he knew him while he was in the womb. Also, difficult to fit in. If the statement is taken literally, it would appear that even the pre-born have souls, and so fall under the law of Original Sin. And so we're back to Augustine's position. I would suggest that this statement might be a bit of rhetoricizing on the part of the OT authors. But then again, it might not. If it is not, then there's no way around it - you either have to disbelieve some of what Paul says, or you have to take the womb statement with a grain of salt.

Anyway, it's a thorny problem. Kudos to you if you decide to do a little more research on the topic than just asking the question on yahoo answers. After all, nobody ever said that theology and religion were simple (if they were, then the Bible wouldn't be so damned long, now would it?)

Answer 4

There is no more sins of Adam this period. That has been erased even after the great flood and was given emphasis at the time of Exodus.
Read Deuteronomy 24:16 and Ezekiel 18:3-26. And you will know how the Christians failed to realized that or they just ignored that part because it is easy to manipulate the mind if you live in fear and guilt.

Answer 5

Everyone who dies before they reach the age of accountability which I think is 12 years old automatically goes to Heaven.They are still considered innocent in the eyes of God but once a person is old enough to understand what sin is and knows the difference between right and wrong they need to chose which way their going to go.When the Rapture happens,that's when Jesus comes back and in a twinkling of an eye will take all of his people to Heaven with him every baby even unborn babies along with every child will be Raptured as well.There's alot more to it than this but it would take a long time to explain it all.But for now I hope this helps you.

Answer 6

God Almighty is the most mercy full.
God Almighty never punish others for some one else sin or mistake. If God do like this then ( May Allah forgive me )God is not God.
Prophet Adam cried and requested for forgiveness and God Almighty the most merci full granted him and Eve forgiveness.
There is no inherited sin or original sin.
Every new born comes in this world innocent without any sin.

Answer 7

It's the Christian that has a relationship with God, and whether you belief in infant baptism or not, Christian offspring that is to be raised in a Christian household, I hardly think would pass by God as bringing babies as His own, unto Himself. For Christians with the disaster of a stillborn or SIDS child, they have that comfort. Atheists must look for another source of comfort.

Answer 8

What? I don't know.
I don't believe in "inherited" sin. I do believe, however, that because Adam sinned, ALL of us are born with a tendency to sin. Children can't be held accountable for that, though, not until they know better.

Answer 9

I'm a Bahai, and I rember reading somewhere that infants, stillborns and even miscariaged babys go to heaven and they are the close to go because they are pure. We also belive they conteue to progress and grow(speritualy) in the next world as well.

Answer 10

John 5:28,29 says:do no longer ask your self at this, because of the fact the hour is coming wherein all those interior the memorial tombs will pay attention his voice 29 and dad out, people who did reliable issues to a resurrection of existence, people who practiced vile issues to a resurrection of judgment. The Bible by no ability immediately addresses the priority of a resurrection for babies who have been stillborn or lost by way of a miscarriage. however, God’s be conscious does comprise concepts that undergo on the question and that would furnish a level of convenience. enable us to evaluate 2 appropriate questions. First, from Jehovah’s viewpoint, while does the existence of a human initiate—at concept or at beginning? 2nd, how does Jehovah view the unborn—as unique persons or as mere collections of cells and tissue in a girl’s womb? Bible concepts supply clean solutions to the two questions. The Mosaic regulation of course revealed that existence starts, no longer at beginning, yet plenty till now. How so? It confirmed that killing a fetus would desire to incur the dying penalty. word this regulation: “you may desire to grant soul for soul.” (Ex. 21:22, 23) for that reason, the unborn new child interior the womb is alive and is a living soul. information that undying actuality has helped tens of millions of Christians to repudiate the practice of abortion, seeing it as a extreme sin against God. Granted, the unborn new child is alive, yet what fee does Jehovah place on that existence? The regulation noted above demanded that an person be positioned to dying for inflicting the dying of an unborn new child. of course, then, the existence of an unborn new child has great fee in God’s eyes. extra, assorted passages interior the Scriptures exhibit that Jehovah sees the unborn as diverse persons. for example, King David replaced into inspired to assert of Jehovah: “You saved me screened off interior the tummy of my mom. . . . Your eyes observed even the embryo of me, and on your e book all its areas have been down in writing, as regards the days while they have been shaped.”—playstation . 139:13-sixteen; activity 31:14, 15. Jehovah additionally sees that the unborn have diverse features and would have great ability for the destiny. at a similar time as Isaac’s spouse Rebekah replaced into pregnant with twins, Jehovah uttered a prophecy approximately the two boys suffering in her womb, suggesting that he already observed features in them that would desire to have far-achieving effects.—Gen. 25:22, 23; Rom. 9:10-13.
