But I do ponder these things. And when I do I remember that death is not the end. when God by His Providence removes people from earth, it does not have the finality assumed by the disbeliver. Because existence continues, the fate of the departed depends not only on the state of their heart, but on their culpability. Children have no culpability.
Quote:Let them know therefore that every child, wherever he is born, whether within the church or outside of it, whether of pious parents or impious, is received when he dies by the Lord and trained up in heaven, and taught in accordance with Divine order, and imbued with affections for what is good, and through these with knowledges of what is true; and afterwards as he is perfected in intelligence and wisdom is introduced into heaven and becomes an angel. (Swedenborg, Heaven and Hell 329)
