"Children & The Rapture"
Dear John & Doves...
In the impending Rapture, what are your views regarding
the status of children on the Earth?
I have read and heard various thoughts on the subject,
that children of Christian families will
be raised up, that children without any Christian awareness
will be left behind, (which seems
infinitely cruel to me) and I would like to hear everyone's
thoughts on this subject.
If children have not reached their own individual 'ages
of awareness', meaning that they are
still viewed as innocent so far as their latent 'sin
nature' is concerned, would that not qualify
them, indeed would it not mandate them to be Raptured
out when Jesus soon comes calling?
I recall an old Jack Chick tract from the early '70s
on the subject of the Rapture, and on the
cover was a sketch depicting a nurse running from a hospital
nursery in panic, yelling at a
doctor "Doctor! All the babies are MISSING!!!", and that
has stayed with me.
I look forward to your comments.
Regards,
John Russell
