I shall from now on wear this like a frontlet, "read and
inwardly digest the 'initial' post"
But my wife will agree, my elevator does not always go to the
top.!!!

Moderation intervention by me?
I've been banned from doing that!
As for threads going sideways I've yet to receive any response
to my suggestion that children who have died prematurely, or
those with severe mental incapability, or those who never see a
Bible or hear the Gospel invitation, can surely not be condemned
to eternal damnation as their punishment for never being able to
commit to an efficacious believe in Christ.
To the best of my knowledge the Bible has nowhere suggested
exemption for all such situations.
(Except perhaps Romans 1 which suggests that a declination to
commit Idolatry will suffice in situations such as Geographical
isolation)

[/quote]I think I can mention something about young children who
die prematurely.
Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be
converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
I also ask how all the Israel will be saved?
Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written,
There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob:
Those who hear the truth and who can understand it can also be
held accountable for rejecting it. If someone could not
understand it, it may be better for them not to hear the truth.
. . yet . . . lest they stumble and reject it without knowing
what they do. People who don't know what they're doing can be
easily forgiven, like the people who crucified Jesus.

Personally I don’t believe that it needs to be written in black
and white Mike.
1) God is Love.
2) “Suffer little children to come unto me”.
Those of less than perfect IQ ,or damaged , are childlike by
nature …a God of love does not condemn them.
As you know , I believe the great creator became our saviour ,
and His blood is enough .
I believe in the cleansing , like sheep being dipped , and
coming out the other side clean! The cleansing will be longer
for some than others …but HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD IS MORE THAN
ENOUGH!
“God is not willing that any should perish “
God wins!

One of my older school things was because I never liked school,
at the end of the art class being told to wash all the paint off
the saucers things, I had failed in the carpentry class for
having my fingers on the jack plane the wrong way around and
planing a large portion off the top of my middle finger, plus
the carpentry master didn't like the sight of blood, ( maybe a
leftover from the war).
So in a large sink one would put the saucer under the gravity
flow of 'water' which would take the five separate colours and
swirl them together before they went down the plug hole, and so
the five eventually became one.
I think as most of us on here have followed on to know in some
measure the Lord, the church in many cases have made ones
choice, heaven OR hell, Jesus called his 12, never questioned
them on their individual beliefs, never said this is the choice
Heaven or hell.
Old Mephibosheth dropped as a baby, lame in both feet through no
fault of his own, yet gets to eat at the Kings table is my
answer Mike to the unfortunate's in the world.
Helen's a 5 colour legalist, I'm more of a swirl type myself,
the flush is the Lords doing and it will be marvellous in our
eyes.
