@hyde62056@RobertWDallmann@CherylSchatz@LeonardG56161 A 4 yr. old does not know that lying is evil but it is still evil none the less.
If infants were innocent then God would not allow them to be eaten by the people of God.

@CherylSchatz@RobertWDallmann@LeonardG56161 "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned." Rom. 6:12
If infants were not by nature in sin than they would also not be in death.
Infants are in death & therefore are in sin.
@CherylSchatz@RobertWDallmann That does not negate the fact that anyone who worships the beast is a person who is not written in the book of life. "ALL" refers to all on earth which is plural, which is everyone.
"the whole world....worshiped the dragon...they worshiped the beast," Rev. 13:4-6
@CherylSchatz@FrankLets78822 Correct, Judas was not even present when Jesus was making the High Priestly Prayer in Jn. 17.
You should listen to Biblically grounded teacher on Judas:

@RobertWDallmann
Many doctrinal controversies persist because men frame arguments that sound plausible and reasonable, yet are not observations based on what the Bible actually says. They are assumptions and speculations that merely seem reasonable.
We need biblical theology, not theological theology.
The straightforward testimony of Scripture should never be overridden by philosophical speculation, no matter how long or passionately revered.
When men exalt mere assertions over grammatical, lexical, textual, and historical facts that can be demonstrated, they are favoring fairy tales over reality.
In the end, we will be judged by God's Word-not by creeds, confessions, theological systems, or denominational traditions.
If we are going to be judged by it alone, perhaps we should judge by it alone.
@CherylSchatz@FrankLets78822 "Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled." Jn. 17:12
The prophecy of Judas guaranteed that Judas was lost the day he was born.
"Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve." Lk. 22:3
@CherylSchatz@RobertWDallmann Only those who put faith in Jesus have their names written in the Book of Life.
"let the dead bury their own dead.” Mth. 8:22
"you were dead in your trespasses and sins," Eph. 2:1-6
The dead do not have their names written in the book of life.
@CherylSchatz@FrankLets78822 He died for those who are lost so that no one can say that God did not love them and provide a means of salvation for them forcing them to honestly bow the knee and give glory to God by acknowledging Jesus is Lord. Phil. 2:10-11
@CherylSchatz@RobertWDallmann Notice it says, "Not Written" in the Book of Life, as in never having been written,
contradicting your assertion that everyone's name is written in the Book of Life and have their names blotted out if they reject Jesus.
@CherylSchatz Jesus is the atoning sacrifice for the whole world. 1 Jn. 2:2
But His sacrifice was never applied to Judas for Judas was predestined for destruction.
Nor was it ever applied to Goliath because Goliath was not fully human but part UN-redeemable fallen angel, demon.
@CherylSchatz Was Goliath's name written in the Book of Life?
1 yr. old babies that die and go to heaven; do they live as 1 yr old babies for all eternity?
If not what approximate age do they grow up to and live out in eternity?
