I have been terrified of this question for so long, having two little ones. Thank you.

God gave me comfort to this 24 years ago after my first miscarriage. I've had 7 or 8. But with my first one after she died. I dreamed she was about 5 in heaven with my deceased grandparents. They never spoke but looked at me waved and walked away. But then she stopped turned to me and waved again. Never thinking that God was preparing me for the other miscarriages. Yes they did hurt but also gave me peace to know they are in heaven with our Father-God. I always joke saying I might not have any on earth yet but I got a whole basketball team in heaven waiting on me.

Thank You. I just lost my son June 4th. He was supposed to be born September 25th. I love him so much! My heart hurts really bad. I will see him again. I will never forget smelling the sides of his neck😇… I was and still am in love with him. Rest In Peace, sleep in peace, nap in peace Royalty Watson. He was and is so beautiful.

I know this isn't quite the topic but I just lost both of my parents recently and I believe God directed me to your video. It really has helped me with some things I'm struggling with. God bless you.

I never thought for one moment that God would ever turn away the Soul of any infant still born or indeed aborted  because they are still his children and he loves them all too much.

You absolutely laid the right foundation w Abrahams quote. That confidence is an adequate place of rest for God's people (regarding this), and the necessary beginning to all further inquiry in this and many other matters. Thank you!

My grandson died in the womb the day before he was born, three months ago today, and I know for a fact that he is safe in Heaven with God. Thankyou Jesus

Suffer the children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven

And Jesus also said “ Theirs is the kingdom of God” referring to children ❤️

If anything, I find so much mercy in this. Knowing that possibly, these children can turn from God when they are indeed in a capacity to reject him, God takes them before it happens and they find themselves only by His grace, with Him ❤️

Matt 18:3 (NASB) "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of God." The inference here is that children who die before they really know the difference between good and evil are in the kingdom of God. I agree with this message, and this is another reason why.

This man is mistaken. We are not born sinners we are born with a sinful nature. The consequence of Adam and Eve's sin was death and this is what we inherited along with the sinful nature thus we all die, not that we are automatically born sinners. We do not inherit the sins of our parents, we are only accountable for our own sins.

It is written: The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.
Ezekiel 18:20 NIV

Learning to think critically & theologically regarding the hard questions of life like this one & keeping an open mind along with a humble heart to change one's mind whenever one sees new revelation from the scriptures is key. To hear this man reasoning from the scriptures is refreshing, especially when his reasoning comes from an accurate knowledge of Who God is. And while the sovereignty of God plays a huge part in answering this question, the mercy of God plays an even larger part in getting the answer right for those who need biblical encouragement on this subject. "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right" implies mercy, and mercy, the Bible says, triumphs over judgement. This is a glorious thing that the actions of God reveal something phenomenal about God... namely that He is a gracious God. But arguing for Him to sweep sin & sinfulness under the rug because he's a good guy is not the answer, but rather isn't the answer to this & all questions bound up in the character of God Himself & what the Bible says about His character rather than what men think about His character?

This was a great to-the-point video answer to a difficult to-the-point question that many struggle with, not only because they love "little ones" but also because they love God's character which is on the line in correctly understanding this issue. And to hear someone answer from scripture, even when there is no passage that directly refers to the answer, is very refreshing. Because it shows how we all can use the scriptures combined with the character of God Himself to find answers to difficult real life questions without having to speculate from our finite imaginations about who we believe God to be. Hasn't God taught us enough about Himself & His character for us to discern right & wrong, truth & error from the scriptures? I say yes... And, although imperfect as our lives & our ability to reason often are, I believe that's what was accurately accomplished through this video. Kudos...

Great Answers. I had never heard the theological argument from general revelation before. I have always found Jesus statement "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" as strong support for little children going to heaven. That was Matthew 19:14 and we see that statement in all of the synoptic gospels.

Matthew 18:14
“In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.”

This is how this question is answered:
"The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them."
-- Ezekiel 18:20
Yes, even unborn and newborns have the sin nature - but there is no direct sin that can be 'credited to their account', and so they are not condemned.
Even as David's terrible sin sin was taken away (2 Samuel 12:13), and also the sins of Isaiah, whatever they might have been (Isaiah 6:6) simply by God's choice and grace, so are the sins of babies taken away.
