Does Jesus love children? Who is a child in the eyes of Jesus? Is it a one day old, one month old, 6 months old, one year old, eight years old, 18 years old? Who really is a child in the eyes of Jesus?


If Jesus were to come today would he take up into heaven (or whatever), without further judgment, all the millions and millions children who are one month or less old? Or is it 6 months old, 1 year old? Where shall he draw the line?

Where shall he draw the line?

Why does there have to be a line?

Bastage:

Why does there have to be a line?

There has to be a line because Christianity teaches about this notion of repentance.   Is repentance available to everyone, at any age?

he loves children.

bgees:

he loves children.

So if he comes back today, is he going to gather all children from all over the world, or is he gonna just take those of Christian families who can repent and have repented?

Your quote above certainly must have been a gaffe or a sincere blunder, (i.e. a slip-up) if not, then I take as read, that by juxtaposing an Old Testament verse with a New Testament one you were merely baiting or what's more goading.

Matthew 19:14:


Matthew 19:14

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

But Jesus said,
"Let the children come to me, and don't try to stop them!
People who are like these children belong to God's kingdom"

Psalm 137:9 by exiled Israelites to Babylonian captors:


Psalm 137:9

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Happy and blessed shall he be who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock!

Does Jesus Love Children? Resounding affirmative, yes He does.

Yes, it was a fusing of the old and new testament verses.   But how do you draw from that that Jesus loves children?   That conclusion does not follow from the premise.

Further, if he were to turn up today, what shall he do with all the millions of little ones who are less than one month old? Is he gonna smash their heads against a rock, as he commanded in the OT?
