The actions of the Taliban faction that murdered those 132 children in Peshawar are so despicable that words of condemnation just feel as if they cannot possibly match the scale and depravity of the atrocity.

Do Christians like sonship and Grampy Bobby and others believe that these slaughtered children now face an eternity of torture in burning agony for not believing in Jesus?

How despicable are you, for using the deaths of these 132 slaughtered children to further your pathetic agenda on a chess website against sonship and GB?
Take a hard look in the mirror and ask *yourself* the hard questions about your *own* motivations.

I am not blaming Christians for the slaughter. And I am not blaming the Christian God figure for allowing the slaughter, or anything of the sort.
The question is about the Christian 'eternal torture' ideology as propagated by the two regular posters I mentioned as well as others.
It would be rather odd if a terrorist mass murder carried out by Muslims here on earth rendered Christians too queasy to answer a pretty straight forward question about "salvation" and "damnation".
Presumably, according to Christians, these Taliban are going to "Hell" for their lack of belief in Jesus. My question is about the 'eternal address', as Grampy Bobby puts it, of the Muslim children that were slaughtered.
My motivation is my interest in finding out what Christians say and how they behave when the coherence of their beliefs is scrutinized. The way you have reacted, for instance, is interesting.
"All children having been born [the moment the Holy Spirit imparts physical life and soul life] who die before reaching the age of accountability [God Consciousness] will be in heaven because one of God's attributes is Justice which means He's fair." Thread 161949 (Page 9)
Originally posted by Grampy BobbySo if these children had already embraced their families' and communities' religious beliefs, they would, then ~ according to your theology ~ end up at the same 'eternal address' as the Taliban gunmen who murdered them?

Does God punish the innocent?
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYou can make this even more palatable by saying that God also determines whether each of us has reached "the age of accountability [God Consciousness]" that you mention.

his question stands, who here believes infidels (children or not) should spend an eternity of agony just for not believing in the right deity (or flavor of deity)

Originally posted by Grampy BobbySo being a Muslim child who dies while not yet conscious of the Christian God figure is a way to receive eternal life as conceived by Christian theology and this can be achieved without going 'through' Jesus or even believing in Him?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyThe words "according to some..." remind the reader that the claims people like you and sonship make about "God's Justice" are interpretations that are not shared by all and, of course, cannot be substantiated or verified.
