Question

if we were all born in sin and the price for sin is death, when christ comes back will all babies go to hell and is there a verse in the bible that says so.

Answer 1

Why don't all of you Bible thumpers get into a war with the porn posters and leave the rest of us alone? Your questions are so incredibly ignorant.

Answer 2

No, all babies won't go to hell. God is loving, and I can't imagine that He would ever allow something like that to happen. I had all of my children baptized, but I never believed that if I didn't they would end up in hell. I actually had an older priest try to make me feel awful for waiting until my oldest son was 1-year-old before having him baptized..."what if something had happened to him during that first year?". But I've talked to a couple of other priests about this and neither one felt the same way. I'm not aware of any verse in the Bible that specifically mentions unbaptized babies being damned to hell.

Answer 3

Well, First might i remind you that the Bible was written two thousand years ago roughly for the people of that time to suit their needs as a society....Today things are a bit different....also, dont take the bible too literally, im sure if God exists he'll understand...he's a loving God surely?...And if thats not good enough then join another religion (there's loads) that makes sure new born babies dont die as a result of supposed "original sin". Anyway it also says in the bible not to eat meat on friday's and so forth.......Unfortunately Friday is meat night in our house! Oops! It also says animals dont have souls....My next door neighbour, Reverend Paula, Yup, performed a small burial for her dog, blessed it and everything! If anything, the bible needs updated!

Answer 4

If Christ was to come back, he would not have been crucified and killed. He was also born, so was he also a product of sin? What after all is this concept of sin? The greatest sin being committed is that a perpetual fear is being perpetrated among the Christians by such false propaganda right from their birth in the Christian community, just because they do not think in terms of revolting for the sake of 'Truth'. If Truth is God, fight for Truth; Truth shall make you free.

Answer 5

I am amused by the answers to this question; amazing the sensitivity of people when addressing things they don't want to think about.
I have heard many answers to this. Forgive me if no straight biblical or professor quotations come to mind, but a 'rule of thumb' I've heard.
A young child lies; would you send him to hell? "No, he's just a kid." If an adult lies, he would be held responsible.
The logic here is that children are young and learning. What makes a sinner is the knowing defiance of what should be. Children are learning what is right and wrong and the consequences of so; so they are not responsible and therefore not punished.
And I believe that God holds children as precious. After all, he calls us to have 'faith like a little child'.

Answer 6

we are all born into sin because of the original sin of adam and eve,...but when christ came to earth,...he died to wash away the sins of all mankind. That would include all the sins ever commited and all the sins going to be comitted.

I dont think babies would just go to hell jsut like that. That'd be kinda dumb. It wouldn't make any sense.

Answer 7

Matthew 19:13-14

Answer 8

We are born with "sin natures" not "born into sin." Sin is not really sin until it is acted upon. There is a biblical age of accountability - 13.

When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Mark 10:14.

I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.Mark 10:15.

Jesus loves the innocence of children so much, that He encourages us, as adults, to come to Him as little children, without our pride and preconceived ideas, able to accept His teachings and have faith in Him and the passion of His salvation.

Answer 9

It does talk about an age of realizing right and wrong.

I dont know where i stand. I dont know that it really makes a difference. When christ comes back i know that myself and mine will go to meet him because we are all his.

As for a nonbelievers babies... i dont know. If a child is truely innocent i cannot imagine it staying, the whole point of being left behind is to have one more chance to believe. its not a time of judgment, but a time of deciding who's for God and who's not, and what good would that do a child?

Answer 10

The phrase the wages of sin is death means exactly that, death. In other words Jesus is saying there is no such place as hell. The concept of original sin is complete rubbish.

Answer 11

The original sin that babies are born from is lust, hence the baptismal which pardons the original sin...Technically unbaptised babies & children will go to hell, but then this is contridicted when Jesus says, 'Suffer the children who come to me...... or something like that.....So in essence all children go to heaven....
