How can Christians believe that baby rapeing serial killers can go to heaven but all non-Christians go to Hell?

According to Orthodox Christianity, we inherit Adam's propensity to sin, not his sin. Babies have no sin that has separated them from God. Since they are not separated, they are in heaven when they die.

"Original sin" that we all inherit is a Roman Catholic construct, foreign to ancient Christianity. Orthodoxy also interprets St. Paul a bit differently than Western Christianity. Where he says, "by grace are you saved through faith... not of works", it means this to us: All salvation is by God's grace.

We accept through faith that salvation and the forgiveness that comes with it (babies, of course, need no forgiveness.) The "works" there, in context, are the works of the Jewish law -- the washing of cups, the shortened journeys, etc. We of course are participants in our salvation, as is obvious once your blinders are removed: Jesus, in Matth 25:31-46, saves those who did good, and condemns those who did not. Nothing about faith *separate from works. Matthew, who recorded this faithfully, must also have believe this!

St. Paul -- work out your salvation (Philp 2) St. James -- be doers, not hearers; we are blessed in our deeds (James 1) St. John - love not in word ("by faith?"), but in deed (J John 3) There are many, many such places. If you keep your eyes open when you read the Holy Scriptures, they will jump out at you. Blessings.

Orthodox.

I believe there is a verse that takes into account the names of the unborn being written into the book of life, but as I can not remember where it is I will submit that it is a non-verified statement As for children going to heaven/hell... If the child is baptized before it dies then there should be no question about it, since they have lost original sin and have not had the ability to sin between baptism and death. That leaves those who were born, and then died without baptism.... For those children...I would put forth that in revelations it speaks of all beings being raised from the grave to face judgement for their actions. Because these children had no time to commit any sinful or evil actions, then logically they would be spared from hell.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
