- Dr. Erwin Lutzer and Dr. John Ankerberg explore difficult question of what the Bible teaches about the death of infants, and whether grieving parents can have the assurance that their child is in heaven.
I lost a baby in the womb last year and was torn to pieces it is so comforting to know as a believer i will see her or him again crying tears of joy.
A very important point is:
When Erwin Lutzer is talking about the "sin" of infants, he means their sinful NATURE, NOT their sinful acts (bacause they doesn't have these acts yet) (see also Romans 9,11)
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."
Love it. Thank you Dr. Lutzer and John Ankerberg for expressing the Finished Work of Yeshua Messiah.
The Bible does not specifically say whether or not mentally ill people go to heaven. However, there is some biblical evidence that anyone who is not able to make a decision for salvation is covered by Christ’s death. This is similar to how it is commonly believed that children are automatically taken to heaven when they die until they reach the point in which they are able to make a decision for or against Christ. David had a child die, and he comforted himself with the thought, “Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me” (2 Samuel 12:23). David knew that he would see his child in heaven one day. From that statement, we can assume that babies and young children were, by God's grace, covered for salvation by Christ’s death.
We can postulate that mentally handicapped people are covered by this principle as well. The Word of God does not specifically say this, however. Knowing the love, grace, and mercy of God, this would seem consistent with His character. Any person who is mentally challenged to the extent that he could not be aware of his sinful state and believe in Christ for salvation is in the same category as a child, and it is not unreasonable to assume that person is saved by the grace and mercy of the same God who saves babies and small children.
As in everything, however, we must be careful not to be dogmatic about any issue the Bible does not specifically address. We do know that Jesus receives as His own all whom the Father has given to Him and He will lose none of them along the way (John 6:39). Jesus said of these, “And I give to them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish, and not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand” (John 10:28). We can take comfort in knowing that our God’s plan is always perfect, He always does what is right and just, and His love and mercy are infinite and everlasting.
I know I'll see my unborn (mis carriage) baby in heaven. I was born again at a young age. I trust in Jesus, He is my Lord and my God! I know that He will never harm my baby. I lost this child which would have been my third child ... I know that the baby went to heaven. Jesus loved children. The child may be fully grown in heaven but I'm ok with that because eternity is forever and I'll have eternity to spend with my Lord and my family.
I will go to him, but he will not return to me” (2 Samuel 12:23)
all infants go to heaven
Keep these good videos coming.
great video. bless you.
I remember reading the Bible 3 weeks ago before entering the maternity room. I was excited to be a mother only for my story to get a twist. My baby took time taking her first breath due to swallowing fluids .i remember praying for her as I was in pain.tried everything to save her but no.. I was a mother for 24 hours ...i have the hardest time trying to answer y? I gave birth normally, I smell n lick milk at time, I sacrificed everything but she is no more. My faith is shaken to the core..
Good Discussion
amen brother
Love Erwin Lutschuer
King David said when his son with Bathsheba died “He can’t come to me but I can go to him!”

Dr. Erwin Lutzer, in this video shares His BELIEF, and does so in a comforting way. It sounds so nice ! I wish he just comforted the viewer with God's plan about this topic, instead of sharing a Belief! I also feel another's pain, and want to comfort others. I'm also sure Dr. Lutzer is a caring man too. To the viewer, just compare his view, with the Bible, and the meaning of salvation, and then you will find the love and understand, and the comfort you seek.
❤️🙏🏻🌎😇❤️🌿🌿🌿
I was thinking when you lose a baby before birth is it possible that the soul that child had maybe wasn’t the right time to come is it possible when you have another baby and it lives can God put the same soul back for a more rightful time? I had a my first baby but my second pregnancy I lost the baby but went in to have another son and 2 daughters and my daughters asked if that baby lived did I think they would’ve been born it’s a tough question but I just said God brings people into existence at the right time of life so that’s why you were born God gave me you as a loan to raise in Christ so you would have been born because you were born 😇
What a blessing you are Pastor! If you sold apocalypse buckets you would be as good a preacher as the great Jim Bakker! Dear Leader Donald J. Trump is, in my opinion, the greatest Commander in Chief since the halcyon days of the great Millard Fillmore or even Franklin Pierce! Your descriptions of Heaven as real place fascinates me and I can't wait to get there! I do have some questions though: If we are technically dead but have bodies in Heaven are we really zombies? Are there computers in Heaven? What's the wifi like in Heaven? I sing tenor in the Praise Choir at Bethel Baptist in Lexington Kentucky - can I sing in the Heavenly Choir? Can I sing next to Carlo Bergonzi? Is there bowling in Heaven? I know that both you and Dear Leader Donald J. Trump, the greatest President since Calvin Coolidge, both like baseball. My friends say that Trump pitches and you catch. Will you get a better wig in Heaven Pastor? Or will your real hair grow back? Is my dead dog waiting for me in Heaven Pastor? I love everyone Pastor but I can't stand people from Tonga. Those fat Tongans waddle around their little island - I am surprised that it hasn't capsized under their combined weight! Is there golf in Heaven? Do we all get holes in one?
If the wages of sin is death, what sin did the baby who was murdered in their mother's womb commit. So, the wages of the baby's sin "nature" warranted death at such a young age?
But we are all sinners the bible shows us one mans sin meant we are all sinners
“ Please”“ Why are Christians Cremating their Love ones and Is That In Our Bible And Christian Teachings In Our
Churches???
+Jill Phillips -- Ask people who do it.. NOT the topic of this video.
@@ambassadorsofthemashiach7612 --That is FALSE.... His Name is JESUS...
I find the same problem here in regard to the Death of infants. He gives no biblical proof, just opinion. The only scripture was that we all suffer the curse of the original sin, but all he said about the child being with God is an opinion and not the teaching of the bible. I see this everywhere. I must realize now that there are some mysteries and that I will just have to lean on the nature of God knowing He is a just God and there is nothing to worry about.
I agree with what you said, that the Dr. gave no biblical proof, but only his opinion on this topic.
rage5606 great way to put it
rage5606 Davids dead child was with God!!!That David knew. That’s enough for me. I have two children in Heaven. I know they are with Jesus Christ.
@@randilund2558 agreed. David knew. That is good enough for me. Got is always just, always righteous, always desiring mercy over sacrifice.
He DID give Biblical proof. He quoted what David said about his son. He wept over sinful and lost Absalom and was comforted over his dead little child. THEN he quoted Jesus about what he said about the Angels of children beholding the face of the Father. So...sorry you are wrong he did give Bible.
The words "believe", "in the LORD'", "in Jesus Christ", and so on, represent an active deeds based faith that aligns with the commandments of Jesus Christ. His commandments all require faith to accomplish. Not everyone will be perfect, but everyone will be expected to make every effort to demonstrate these "works of faith", those who do not, or those who teach otherwise will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in fact your righteousness must exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees. In other words, it will be worse for a hypocritical Christian who has few if any good deeds of love towards his neighbor, than a practicing Buddhist, who happens to also be an atheist.
Examples Of Works Of Faith:
1. Pray in private to receive a reward from the Father, not in public to receive rewards from men. In other words when you pray, your motives should be wrapped around the idea that Father God is everywhere present, knows even if a sparrow dies, has numbered the hairs on your head, and therefore hears you and will reward you for your faith. It's all about motive, so public prayer is okay if your motives are truly pure.
2. Keep the prayers simple, no need to repeat it over and over again, save to get the message across to yourself perhaps. God can hear you the first time you ask, he has the perfect attention span.
3. Fasting, or any form of self inflicted sacrificial suffering in any way should be done in private knowing in faith that Father God will reward you.
4. Cutting off anything that may trigger sinful behavior is a work of faith, this may include television, internet, medications, foods, beverages, drugs, acquaintances, spouses, neighbors, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, actual body parts such as eyes, and arms. To obey this is truly a work of faith.
5. Asking God to forgive you, but only in the same way you forgive other fellow human being who sin against you.
6. Making peace with your Brother if you may have sinned against him, even if you are not sure, knowing that if someone is angry with you God will not accept anything you do for Him.
7. Turning the other cheek, going the extra mile, loving and praying for your greatest enemies, even if they happen to be of a different religion, or killing you, raping you, stealing from you, slandering you, or deceitfully using you in any way.
8. Letting your 'yes' really mean 'yes', and your 'no' really mean 'no'.
9. Remaining married to one wife, even if she can't cook, or do much of anything. Thus letting your 'yes' mean 'yes' to your marriage vows.
10. Avoiding the desire for other women, even if they happen to be scantly dressed in the market places.
11. Always seeking to improve oneself first and then proceeding to teach others, rather than hypocritically pointing the finger.
12. Rather than worrying about food, clothing, and shelter, and putting the attainment of them first, put faith in your Heavenly Father God to provide you with all you need. Truly a work of Faith.
+Sean Rhoades Romans 3:22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, Romans 10:4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
+Sean Rhoades amen
+Alicia Noda You are not believing in Jesus Christ if you are not living Jesus Christ. Living Jesus Christ is following his example, and doing what he commanded.
Sean Rhoades When you decide to follow Jesus you are to try to be Christlike. But we will never be perfect like Him. Only through Him can we be made perfect. God the father cannot look upon sin so Jesus' blood sacrifice covers our sins & it is sufficient to cover all sin. Jesus said on the cross "it is finished." 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
Colossians 1:22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation--
+Alicia Noda “So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, beware that you are not carried away with the error of the lawless and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
(2 Peter 3.15-18 NRSV)
Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven - Jesus confirms the innocence and purity of heart of children
Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven --Again, where is this in the Scriptures?
@@TheMistysFavs Matthew 18:3
Man, you're just expressing your opinion. No biblical support for them.
the finished work of Christ is supported Biblically. David's knowledge that he would see his son again is scriptural. Reconciliation, Christ's love for children, and entering heaven like a child is all scriptural,
+Frankie Valerie - Then why is he giving Scriptures? HAVE you seen all 4 videos so far???
Frankie - you probably do not even have a quarter of this man's education and training to even start to criticize him. He gave Scripture.
do not do anything that Jesus will not approve - live a life of chastity and charity just like Jesus - Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven
+joe men ---- Where is this in the Scriptures> "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" Chapter and verse, please.
Good but what saves us u or Jesus works of RIGHTEOUSNESS or Jesus.
in 1Thessalonians 4. 11-17 reveals that there will be people living at the second coming of Christ. So...some do escape death.
That's right.
But it's the only exception.
Tomi. I believe the Tribulation precedes the Rapture.
+ Tomi Thompson
1 Thes. 4:13-18 is the Rapture of the Church.
