John S - If a mother is Raptured, why would she be dead?
Eugene -
How else do those that die get to heaven? 1 Thes 4:16 . . the dead in Christ shall rise first.
John S - If the infant isn't Raptured with its mother, then it will fall to the floor.
Eugene - Since we're not told we just do not know.
John S - According to the answers, there doesn't seem to be an age of accountability for a child - or no one has ever given it any thought.
Eugene - I seem to agree with others who have attempted to make clear that there is no given age of accountability. Every individual surely matures at different rates, and we should attempt to establish that which is said; not what is not said. Would you say God is unjust if a mother holding a child suddenly had a heart attack and died while holding a child? Can God be judged wrong in anything He allows or does?
John 9:41 “Jesus said unto them,
If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.” Would the young be considered blind to their sin?
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Next let's take an example concerning those unbelievers taken at the start of the millennium reserved unto judgment. I personally believe they will be taken in death to await judgment at the great white throne.
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luk 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Those left will enter the thousand year reign of Christ as those who endured unto the end, but I ask you: will an unrighteous mother die and let her nursing child fall to the floor? Maybe God will assign a guardian angel as it were to catch each one, draw up adoption papers for it and assign it to the custody of someone He knows is just waiting and wanting a child. What do you think?
