Are innocent children that have never seen a picture of Jesus, or a Christian going to eternal damnation?

Question

If not, where in the Bible does it say they are not

Im ignorant here, please give me scripture instead of insults

Answer 1

THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT ANY ONE IS INNOCENT. IT DOES SAY THAT "ALL" SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

THE BIBLE ALSO SAY THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL IS WRITTEN UPON THE HEARTS OF ALL LIVING CREATURES

BUT MY OPINION IS THAT EACH PERSON COMES TO POINT OF UNDERSTANDING WHERE THEY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG AND THAT POINT IN TIME IS DIFFERENT FOR ALL OF US AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT GOD HOLDS US ACCOUNTABLE TO AND WHAT WE DO THAT KNOWLEDGE AND THE CHOICE THAT LAYS BEFORE US AT THAT TIME. DO WE LIVE FOR HIM OR FOR OURSELVES

Answer 2

Why do you think that seeing a picture of Jesus or a Christian will save a child from "eternal damnation"?

I have not seen anywhere in the Bible that speaks to the destiny of a child versus an adult. I'm not saying it's not there; I've just never seen it or any reference to it.

My opinion? I do not think that God will condemn an innocent child. My definition of innocent is a child who has either never heard the truth or is incapable of making a sound decision.

What age is that? I don't know. One of my children "got it" at six, the other at three. Only God can verify the condition of a human heart, man, woman, or child.

I do know this. Once you have heard the truth about Jesus, you are responsible for it; and there's no second chance once you die.

Heb 9:27 And just as it is appointed for people to die once--and after this, judgment--
Heb 9:28 so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

Answer 3

Christianity is just another religion, just like everything else. The Bible doesn't necessarily mean what it says, or say what i mean (if you are confused at this point in time, don't worry). In the Bible it states that sinners will be punished if they do not ask for forgiveness and accept God as their Lord an Sauveur. But riddle me this, if all Christians aboded by the law of the Bible, we would live in a almost perfect world.

Lets take a look at the ten commandments, killing is a crime, right, well what about all those Innocent lives wasted during abortions.

How about not taking the lords name in vain. show me one person who does not use His name openly once or twice.

those are just two. how many sinners are out there? alot!

How would we know weather innocent children will go to heaven or hell ( if in fact there is something like that)

Well we don't. See children cannot be punished for their parents mistakes.

The question you asked is to put it simple rhetorical. you can't get an answer on that, only many opinions.

Answer 4

First there are no "innocent" children..or adults for that matter. We are all conceived & born in sin. It is not about seeing a picture, nor getting to know/meet a Christian that counts. It is a relationship with Christ that is "required". Although for babies/children that do not have that opportunity, the Bible clearly says that God KNOWS us (and ALL our days..before there is even one of them (our days) God sees our hearts, He knows what we are & will become..even if we never had the life to become those things. Therefore that would be God's domain alone as to where the "child" would be in his eternal destiny.
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you;
Psalms 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
Hope this helps?..

Answer 5

No they arent.
Christian fanatics until the 18th century used this as an excuse to send missionaries to persuade and convert all non christians whom they often termed as heathen or barbarians.
The "Where in the bible does it say they are not" is a ridiculous argument. Remember that the bible was written by humans - over thousands of years besides the divine message, a lot of crap (pardon my french) has also gone in. Just becuase something is in it doesnt mean it's absolutely true.Conversely if something is missing, doesnt mean its wrong.

Answer 6

Why would they, they don't understand eternal damnation until someone explains it to them. Besides do you really want to live in a Paradise where you have to follow the rules all the time. NOT ME, I'd rather go to hell and try to take over.

Answer 7

John1:18 No man has seen God . Little children have a place for them in heaven . The only pictures of Jesus are pictures that people have drawn out of their own imagination . God bless you and your family
