Nobody deserves paradise except through the merits of Christ.

Nobody deserves paradise except through the merits of Christ.

This is true.
And unless there is some question about the merits of Christ, I don't get where "Limbo" comes in.

"Nobody deserves paradise except through the merits of Christ."

Agreed. Limbo is a silly idea. Either we avail ourselves to the merits of Christ or we don't.

Nobody deserves paradise except through the merits of Christ.

Amen......." For by Grace are we saved THROUGH FAITH, that not of OURSELVES; it is a GIFT of GOD, not of WORKS, lest any man should boast". Ephesians 2:8

Hi, Campion - It is not about the innocent 'deserving,' paradise/Heaven. It is about the mercy of Christ and His love for the innocent. Yea, though all are born of Original Sin (save the Christ), the blood of Christ covers the innocent children. In flesh and blood he warned of those who would harm the little ones - how much more is his love for their souls...! The One that cared so much to warn against harming their flesh would not turn away their souls.

There is an age of accountability, though that is between the Lord and the individual....

Nobody deserves paradise except through the merits of Christ.

So the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace prize winner, is going to hell, right?

[Teacher317]

Nobody deserves paradise except through the merits of Christ.

So the Almighty engineered a planet where billions get consigned to Hell for the unforgiveable atrocity of never hearing His Word? Every Western Hemisphere resident from 1 AD until 1492 AD deserved eternal damnation for the accident of their birth?
