as I don't think small children are held accountable either

Except, that it does not fit into your "double-predestination" belief. If a child commits sin it is no different than, say, Judas betraying Christ. They both commit evil because it is "in God's plan" and "for His purpose."

Actually Kosta, based on my statement, in the first part of your response you may have a very valid point. I suppose that if I am to be consistent I have to say that it's possible that some young children who die are not of the elect and are therefore lost. I am unaware of a teaching on my side that gives an automatic pass to those who have not yet reached the age of reason. There COULD be one, though, I just don't know about it yet. :)

Of course, the second part of your statement goes back to your relentless refusal to understand our view of God's plan. You still think that our side believes that God causes evil. OK. My side has been uniformly consistent on this for 3,000+ posts, and yet you won't acknowledge anything. The folks on my side have explained it more than 20 times, I don't know what else to say.
