The Bible has the truth. It’s called the age of accountability. Therefore, GOD judges if the child is old enough to be accountable for his own salvation.
Unless a child is attending a Bible-believing church at a young age, a child would not necessarily be aware of truth of GOD in their life.
Therefore, I DO NOT believe that GOD sends children to Hell just because they have not chosen Jesus as their Savior; simply because it was never taught in their home/school.
It’s GOD decision as to the child’s age of accountability.
I’m not sure I know where to find “Age of Accountability” in the Bible.
Where is this age of accountability in Scripture?
I can make a good biblical case for all babies going to heaven, and that’s my personal belief, but it’s not enough to build a doctrine or make bold assertions. I believe we must be silent where the Bible is silent. God is holy and just. He will do what is right.
By that logic the abortionist, by default and not intent, is the greatest soul winner there is. Why worry about evangelizing them as adults when you can just kill them in the womb, or shortly after they are born, or up to the time when the child has its first cognitive utterance?
AppyPappy is more biblically correct when he says: "God is merciful but only to those who receive His mercy.... Psalm 51:5: “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.”
FReegards!
nor does he send severely mentally retarded people (who have metal capabilities below what would be considered the age of accountability)- For those children who die after the age of accountability, who were not saved- God doesn’t ‘send them to hell unjustly’ - God being all knowing, knows whether those children would have accepted Him or not given every opportunity to do so in future years- He alone knows their hearts- The atheist likes to elevate themselves above God and pretend that God is unjustly sending ‘innocent children’ to hell- they like to mockingly point to God’s judgments on Wicked vile towns in the bible and declare “Innocent lives of children were cut short unjustly by a ‘supposedly loving God”- But in all cases- these societies were totally given over to wickedness and debauchery- and an Omniscient God Certainly would know if there were any chance at all of the young ever accepting Him voluntarily- The answer was no- The judgment was just
I have never saw anything about the age of accountability in the Bible but i just assume that God would not send a child to hell.
I think we all would do well to admit there are some things we just don`t know.
Most of us do not agree on the most simple scriptures yet we spend a lot time discussing something we can not possibly know any thing about.
Would God send a child to Hell?
Exactly what is Hell.
Exactly what is Heaven?
I don`t know.
