BABY ANGLES

[wanda garci]

a common myth about death: God takes little children to become angels. How sicken to make people believe it ,it can paralyze one's ability to enjoy life, read the truth .Psalm 51:5 ; 104:1,4 ; Hebrews 1:7,14 would a God of love cause a loss that humans would not tolerate? read Eccl. 9:11 accidents do happen and eventually we all die, ..........

Some people believe in the God and the bible. Some only believe in the old testament. Some believe in the Book of Mormon, or the Qu'ran, or whatever. Some people believe in nothing except themselves. My point being that your question is based on belief and is therefore dependant on faith. From your quotes, you are a Christian and believe in a God who said 'Without Faith I am nothing.' I have no wish to denigrate your beliefs, but if your deity acknowleges poeple may or may not choose to believe, you must accept that there is no way a factual site like the answerbank can conceivably attempt to offer you a meaningful response.

do you have a question or are you just rambling on . . . ?

[firefly]

Perhaps the question should be taken a bit more sensitively. I thought that only saints became angels, though of course it doesn't really explain when Lucifer came from. Conversation about angels always contraversy.

[incitatus]

It all depends on your version of christianity and the time you live in. First of all: Angels are a separate order of being form men. Children may become saints, but not truly angels. The RC church has many child martyrs (The Holy Innocents for a start) but these have saintly status, and are not cherubs. If you are a catholic, then an unbaptised child will go to purgatry after death: original sin causes a stain. This is harsh, but untill fairly recent centuries it was believe they went straight to hell, so the sentence has been reduced a bit. Protestants tend not to credit original sin, but do not believe in saints either, or not so much, so heaven is the best you are likely to get. Buddhists and hindu's would say that a child dying young is fortunaate in that it will be reincarnated closer to perfection next time, as it cannot have built up much sin. Im sorry to go on, but there are many myths surrounding the traumatic death of the young. Every belief system has a variant. The Problem of Evil, to which you allude, is a major theological stumbling block: If God made the world, and is good, why is there evil? Not an easy one. Becomes easier if you accept the non-existence of god, though.
