Who trashed you? You could learn from her. That isn’t trashing you. That’s just the truth.
you wrote:
“The Bible contains no “sacrificial death” guarantee of eternal life. There are hellbound pagan mothers who have never heard the name of Christ who would do the same thing.”
No, actually there aren’t.
“I can remain quiet and allow them to continue believing a lie...”
Prove it is a lie that this woman is heaven bound. Prove it. When you fail - and you will - we’ll see that you’re the only one really being presumptuous here about someone going or not to heaven.
“Or I can tell them the truth knowing it might upset them at the moment but somewhere down the line the Lord might be pleased to allow my words to play a tiny part in bringing them to a saving knowledge of Christ. I chose door number two.”
Don’t let that door hit you in the head. You HUGE error here is that you are essentially denying that this woman of obviously profound faith had no faith in Christ. Again, you’re being incredibly presumptuous.
When I meet people being presumptuous (i.e. assuming they know that someone didn’t actually have faith when all the facts speak otherwise) I can two one of two things: 1) I can let him be a presumptuous know-nothing, 2) I can show him he’s being a presumptuous know-nothing. You’ve been shown. Deal with it.
I’ve not denied anything about this woman, certainly not about her faith. You are looking at one act and presuming faith in Christ, but was she trusting in her good work or was she truly trusting in Christ? You do not know and neither do I.
And apparently you did not read carefully. What I was saying was a lie was the idea that dying for her child secured salvation. I can say that with absolute certainty on the basis of Scripture because it is clear that salvation is by grace through faith AND NOT OF WORKS lest anyone should boast. Salvation cannot be earned. It is a gift of God.
