i use a lot of translations
most of the people i talk to online are exjw or current jws
anyway, kids are kids
jesus died for god's "children" before they were redeemed
so what you're saying is just semantics
when jesus was talking to the sadducees about the faithful ones of old
he said "they're all living to him"
because those dead ones were as good as already resurrected
it's the same here
god can view whoever he wants as his kids
because the ransom is powerful
and they're already as good as redeemed
which is why we show grace
to everyone
jesus will judge who will get life at the appointed time
but in the meantime we don't make distinctions
the rain and sun and love extend to everyone
it doesn't matter if they are "born-again" or pagan or atheist
