24 Then Jesus used another story to teach them. Jesus said, “God’s kingdom is like a man who planted good seed in his field. 25 That night, while everyone was asleep, the man’s enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat and then left. 26 Later, the wheat grew, and heads of grain grew on the plants. But at the same time the weeds also grew. 27 Then the man’s servants came to him and said, ‘You planted good seed in your field. Where did the weeds come from?’
28 “The man answered, ‘An enemy planted weeds.’
“The servants asked, ‘Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’
29 “He answered, ‘No, because when you pull up the weeds, you might also pull up the wheat. 30 Let the weeds and the wheat grow together until the harvest time. At the harvest time I will tell the workers this: First, gather the weeds and tie them together to be burned. Then gather the wheat and bring it to my barn.’”
...and Jesus Does love the little children and he did not turn them away as they in his eyes at that point have not produced any good or bad "fruit" Christ was constantly telling disciples it is by their fruits (their deeds) you will now people not by the rank, social station or title.) Jesus loved children even though He knew who they'd grow up to be. I believe his extended love to the 'weeds' is all apart of 'let them grow together, till the harvest.'
So you just assume, that every single Amelekite baby wiped from womb,
Would you assume that every single ISIS, or Taliban or North Korean Baby would grow up hating the west like so many generations before them? Damn right they will or the "good ones' will be consumed by their culture.
Quote:was destined to be weeds despite their inability to make such a choice so they died, got sent to hell having made NO choice, and that is something you can live with?Yes.
The Choice is to repent not to abstain or keep on keeping on.
If they are too young to have made that Choice then I rest or find assurance that they Go back to the very God that loves them. If they do not belong to The Father God then they will indeed still go back to their creator.
Why would Satan hate or be hard on His children?
