Much less than will be in hell. There will even be some trying to get in and for some reason won't be able to.

What about the embryos that never made it full term? See post #1. For every baby that's born and grows up (most of whom go to hell, presumably), there's probably a dozen or more embryos that are never implanted in the womb, or are aborted before birth.

Doesn't life begin at conception?

"Lift up your eyes on high
And see who has created these stars,
The One who leads forth their host by number.
He calls them all by name;
Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power.
Not one of them is missing."


Let him that has ears hear what the Spirit declared thru the prophet Isaiah!!!!

God will not lose one of His creation, He will eventually bring each one into right relationship with Himself. Then every knee will bow every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father, and then the whole earth will be filled with His glory, then none will say "know the Lord" for "ALL WILL KNOW HIM, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST." Then the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the seas.

Over in Deep Waters, there's a thread about birth control. It was explained that some types of birth control often result in the death of an embryo, the "pill" and IUDs being examples.

Also, many embryos simply fail to implant in the uterine wall, with no help from birth control. And, there are many miscarriages at various stages of pregnancy, not to mention abortions.

If life begins at conception, all these embryos had spirits that will have eternal life. Is that correct? And every one of them will be in Heaven, correct?

If this is correct so far, then I suspect that the vast majority of Heaven's population will consist of these souls that never saw life on Earth outside of the womb, and many babies and small children who died. Depending on how many adults do wind up there, the percentage could be upwards of 99.9%, maybe more! And the numbers could be in the hundreds of billions. Most of them will not see their parents there, of course, and most of the adults that get there by their salvation (Acts 2:38!) will find a lot more of their own children there than they may have expected!

OK, so, discuss! Will there be many billions of people in Heaven, or am I all wet?
