Re: A bizarre twist on morality (abortion)
[ QUOTE ]
Regarding premise #3, I don't believe that aborted fetuses "automatically" go to heaven. Saying that a fetus can not have sinned physically may be correct, but the unforgivable sin is an eternal one: it is not dependent on an existence in time. As a descendant of Adam, every person is born (i.e. conceived) a sinner, and as Jesus pointed out, all sin begins in the "heart". The only difference with a life that was terminated early is that WE (as opposed to God) don't get to see whether that soul had a humble, repentant heart (attitude).

How can a child deserve either? The child must have a knowledge of Jesus, be it through scripture, oral word, or divine revelation before he can accept the good news. How can God judge someone for an action he had no chance of committing?
Lastly, if the heart was "repentant," then that suggests that not all hearts are created equally. That compromises both free will and God's fairness.
