‘When we don’t, it grieves him (just like or own children grieve us when they make bad choices).’
yes, except we don’t drown them, or anybody else, including children in the womb, for grieving us...
“yes, except we don’t drown them, or anybody else, including children in the womb, for grieving us...”
True enough. We all have choices to make and live with, though. As far as children are concerned, that’s a tough one to understand why a loving God would choose such a young age to (as I’ve heard it said) move them from this world to the next. If it’s true that children ‘get a pass’ on not having accepted God for who He is until they are old enough to understand what the ramifications of that, then their eternity in Heaven just starts a little sooner.
I appreciate your questions, IrishBrigade. I fear that I don’t do any of them justice in reply, but God willing, I try.
