Great citation! When you stop to consider the fact that Reformed Calvinists have nothing equivalent to the Roman Catholic limbo, the novelty of this doctrine in the history of Christian thought is striking. They are the only party to put forth, with a straight face, the repugnant idea that some babies and little children will forever bear the eternal wrath of God, and suffer conscious punishments in soul and body without relief, all for the glory of their god and the display of his wonderful justice. This doctrine of infant damnation is sickening, unbiblical and psychologically deranged. Any Christian with an ounce of common sense and capacity for moral reasoning should brand it what it is. Rank heresy.

Paul Owen writes "This doctrine of infant damnation is sickening, unbiblical and psychologically deranged."

And everybody said AMEN and AMEN (or should have). When it comes to this matter, Christian doctrine (regardless of theological persuasion) should simply be as Jesus stated "Our Father in heaven is not willing that ANY of these little ones should perish."
