The same can be said of cats or dogs. Are they doomed to hell by their nature? Is the law of God written on their feline or canine hearts?
I am not arguing that infants do not have a fallen nature. I am arguing from Romans I that they have an "excuse" and hence I believe they are covered by grace if they die before they have considered the glory of Creation.
To whom much is given much shall be required. What can we say about those to whom nothing is given? Could it be that God has given to some "nothing" as a means of saving grace? Can you rule THAT out?
“Could it be that God has given to some “nothing” as a means of saving grace?”
I suppose God could do that but then it opens up a whole new argument for say, the people in Nepal, a closed country who never hear the gospel yet look at creation and say the cow or Buddha or another avatar could be god. Or maybe some unfortunate preteen in Harlem who has never seen the country side or God’s magnificent nature or any sort of loveor discipline except from the gang having been raised in the streets. How is it just to provide “special grace” for the infant and not for these? Certainly it could be argued that they have been given “nothing”.
There is nothing definitive in the scriptures concerning “special grace”; there is only the one way to God. We depend on His righteous and graciousness for our salvation and the unborn and infants who die. This appears to be one of those Deut. 29:29 deals.
