Is it merciless to have children/infants temporally slaughtered if their ultimate destination is eternal communion?
No. Is there any Scriptural evidence of slaughter of the elect in the OT (either infant or adult). I can't think of any off the top unless King Saul counts.
There is if children/infants are elect based on the character of God revealed in Christ.
