"Christians": About the construction of souls ... ?

Question

Is it safe to assume that according to "Christianity" God makes each soul and places it within a baby?

And presumably if God didn't place a soul in a baby there wouldn't be a baby?

And it is well-known that God is omniscient: that he knows all.

So when He makes the soul for a baby, He already knows whether that soul will be going to heaven or not because God knows everything, right?

So what thoughts must go through the mind of God when He's making the soul for a baby whom He -knows- is not going to heaven?

Why would an all-Loving God make such a soul knowing that is to be its fate?

Answer 1

Here is the concept Skippy, God made man imago dei, He breathed life into His Creation. (First cause)

We are designed to procreate. Ergo, when conception occurs a person (physical and spirit/soul) is created imago dei (secondary cause)

God does not sit around designing people or souls.

Your final question is based on faulty logic. Your premise is in error. My God is not and all-loving God. My God loves His children and is loving toward them. For those that are not His; he is wrathful and that is putting it mildly.

Answer 2

I don't believe that God intentionally makes the soul that is not going to make it to heaven, but becomes aware of what its life will become as he is forming it......did that make sense?
God doesn't make the decision to condemn some and save others, we do that, but he knows the decisions we make and turns we take during our life. That I believe is where our free will comes in. Should he then destroy that soul before it comes to our earth. He also knows that child will interact in other peoples lives on earth and maybe just because he exists he will be responsible for another making it to heaven.....
Once a souls creation begins the cycle of his life is already in motion and must continue......that anyway is my thoughts on it....

Answer 3

Because each soul has the divine right to make selections in life. In my opinion, Heaven and Hell is here on earth and a person select which stat of mind they would like to live it based upon the training they receives as a child.

Answer 4

WOW!!! I see U DO read my posts!!! I am honored. Yes, U are correct. Scripture says "Who can know the Mind of God?" I Don't claim to know God's mind, but I can "Observe" His "Presence" in this world which was His Perfect Handiwork. I can also read about His "Response" to Mankind as recorded in Scripture. By doing this, as a Parent, why should I NOT want the "Best" for my Children??? Why should I with hold the "Relationship" man has had with God from my Children??? God gave them Free Will just as Us and He charged Us with "Raising up a Child to know Him so that they shall NOT Depart from Him" for God is not willing that ANY should Perish but that ALL should come unto Him. We know that due to Free Will many will turn from God ", & that "Dying, they shall Die". I have also thought on many occasions that many of Us need to Physically "SEE" something to maybe believe it. So perhaps God allows "Examples" for Us to "SEE" knowing that it may have an Impact on Us in our Acceptance of His Plan for our Lives. So, are U an "Example" of what NOT to be /do, or an "Example" of Christ in Ur Life for Ur Kids??? John

Answer 5

I am sure he has a very solid reason why. I am sure their was a solid reason for you being here, otherwise he wouldn't have created them

Here are some facts for you: The average person faced with Death, begins to come to God. Look that up. They start too plead too God to except them and start to ask to be forgiven.

and you know what...I am sure he does.

So maybe there are only a very rare few who don't go too God.

Answer 6

Well, I think that spirits, souls and bodies get procreated. I.e it is attribute of us, that not only can we like animals create offspring with bodies and minds, but also spirits.
So I don't believe that there are spirits in heaven or whatever waiting for implantation.

A reason this fits into the New Testament is that humans according to books like Ephesians have dead spirits until they are born again (i.e. dead spiritually in the sense that their spirits cannot relate to God). God wouldn't put nonfunctioning spirits into people.

According to Jesus in John 3, in my own rather ramshackle paraphrase:

** What is born of flesh is flesh, what is born of spirit [God's Spirit; the Holy Spirit] is spirit. You must be born again [from above] to see the Kingdom of God. **

Answer 7

Genesis says that the body of man + the breath of God = a living soul. No where in the bible does it say that a soul is immortal, in fact it says the opposite.

Answer 8

I don't believe that as a Christian
We were "souls" before we came to earth. All of us existed as Spirit Children of our Father in Heaven. Our being sent here is part of our eternal progression. We have to gain a physical body and have our faith tested. Those that die prematurely, had no need in being tested, they only needed a body. They were valiant spirits in the pre-existence.

Answer 9

The conclusions you draw are a bit extreme. You are taking a Calvinist approach, that all souls are predestined. I believe God knows our hearts, but gives us all a choice. I don't believe God makes that choice for us. So, that pretty much nullifies your question, thanks for asking.
