And since hundreds of billions of these have died over the course of human history, heaven should be packed with them.
Who said the road was narrow?

Or does God trash those spirits to make room for those who "heard and believed the word"?

they're innocent, so they go straight to heaven. souls don't take space like bodies do.

They are innocent of any wrong doing so will go to Heaven. The reason the road is narrow is that we are tempted every day to do either the right thing or the wrong thing. We can only avoid sinning(which means falling short of perfection I was told) with Gods help. We need to ask for this on a daily basis. If we want a relationship with God so that we can lead a productive and contented life then we need to ask for forgiveness for all the sins we have committed and make a resolution to turn away from that way of life. It isn't easy.

If they died before they were born they will be judged based on the amount of morning sickness they gave their moms.

Honestly I don't know. I made that remark in anger because I asked a similar question and yahoo removed it. I asked at what age does a child become classified as a sinner. Is it a sin when a 2 yr old child refuses to obey his or her parents?

Oh well. Hopefully you will actually get to see some answers.

In John 1, all children born into this world have seen the True Light. Also God knows the child in the womb.

I have asked God this and have been given assurance in my spirit that children, fetuses go strait to heaven (Because they haven't purposely rebelled against God yet. But at an age of accountability, a child usually purposely rebels against God / rejects Gods truth and dies spiritually ( We all have sinned and went our own way.). Rebellious child doesn't go to heaven then if he/she should die and sins aren't covered (Because had purposely rejected Jesus atonement for sins.).

We all (many) have sinned against God and have gone our own way. So, Jesus made a way for us. He said for us to drink of this cup, because this fruit of the vine is His Blood that is shed for many for the remission of sins... Very few stay on the strait and narrow way leading to life. Many choose the wide gate leading to destruction. So, for the many of us that chose the wrong gate, we can repent and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and have our sins washed away in His redeeming Blood. That is when we get born again, reborn spiritually. becoming born of God and inheriting Gods Kingdom and all the goodies that come with it.

Iam agree that you have to be a bit careful with this one.The Loss of the child is a sensitive thing. I don't know about Judgement day (it is a story, not a fact). And if you are not a Christian? May be reincarnation took place... but I strongly believe that children went to the much better place. it is so unfear to think anotherwise

Lets look at what the bible teaches. (I cannot provide the verses at the moment)

1) Baptism does not wash away sin. It is only a publilc declaration of one's personal dedication to God. I wonder how babies decide for themselves to be baptized?

2) Not all will go to heaven. Only a number of corulers will be in heaven to help Christ in the kingdom (little flock) (Revelation 7:4). They will rule over a great crowd on a paradise earth which no one was able to number (Rev. 7:9, 14) See the difference in description, and that one group has been numbered while the other was not.

3) Resurrection. Jesus said that “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) Similarly, Revelation 20:13 says: “The sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them.” “Hades” refers to the common grave of mankind. This collective grave will be emptied. All those billions who rest there will live again. The apostle Paul said: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) What does that mean?

“The righteous” include many of the people we read about in the Bible who lived before Jesus came to the earth. You might think of Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Ruth, Esther, and many others. Some of these men and women of faith are discussed in the 11th chapter of Hebrews. But “the righteous” also include Jehovah’s servants who die in our time. Thanks to the resurrection hope, we may be freed from any dread of dying.—Hebrews 2:15.

What about all the people who did not serve because they never knew about him? These billions of “unrighteous” ones will not be forgotten. They too will be resurrected and given time to learn about the true God and to serve him. During a period of a thousand years, the dead will be resurrected and given an opportunity to join faithful humans on earth in serving Jehovah. It will be a wonderful time. This period is what the Bible refers to as Judgment Day.

Does this mean that every human who ever lived will be resurrected? No. The Bible says that some of the dead are in “Gehenna.” (Luke 12:5) Gehenna got its name from a garbage dump located outside of ancient Jerusalem. Dead bodies and garbage were burned there. The dead whose bodies were thrown there were considered by the Jews to be unworthy of a burial and a resurrection. So Gehenna is a fitting symbol of everlasting destruction. Although Jesus will have a role in judging the living and the dead, Jehovah is the final Judge. (Acts 10:42) He will never resurrect those whom he judges to be wicked and unwilling to change.

4) Hell=grave. not a place of fiery torment.

Jeremiah 7:30 ‘For the sons of Judah have done what is bad in my eyes,’ is the utterance of Jehovah. ‘They have set their disgusting things in the house upon which my name has been called, in order to defile it. 31 And they have built the high places of To′pheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hin′nom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’

if he detests burning kids on fire, why woul dhe create it? he didnt, religious leaders made the teaching to scare people and convert them.

Well, I thought you would know! Don't atheists and everyone else know more about it than us?

Judgement Day is not a day of damning!!!! It's a day of rewards. The Bible says you are not held accountable until your are of the age to comprehend what you are accepting or denying. They go to Heaven and Jesus said such is the kingdom of heaven when He was blessing the children.

The road is narrow b/c those of us who have lived and have to walk the road are few. This is so easy! Why do atheists claim to know so much again?

What is the meaning of John 5:28, 29? It says: “All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” What Jesus said here must be understood in the light of the later revelation that he gave to John. Revelation 20:12, 13, Both those who formerly did good things and those who formerly practiced bad things will be “judged individually according to their deeds.” What deeds? If we were to take the view that people were going to be condemned on the basis of deeds in their past life, that would be inconsistent with Romans 6:7: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” It would also be unreasonable to resurrect people simply for them to be destroyed. So, at John 5:28, 29a, Jesus was pointing ahead to the resurrection; then, in the remainder of verse 29, he was expressing the outcome after they had been uplifted to human perfection and been put on judgment.

I understand that a child cannot sin until he becomes a certain age, I think about 7yrs? I might be wrong on the age.
This is because children do not know fully understand the difference between right and wrong and the consequences involved. As they have not sinned, God will welcome all with open arms.

Being judged doesn't mean they go to hell, it means they, like everyone else (including their father and mother), are held accountable for the way they lived their life. I personally believe they go to heaven.
Don't forget there is also a judgment of each nation. I think they will be standing in condemnation of the nation that didn't protect them.

All children go to heaven, they are innocent. Space (and time) in heaven are beyond our human comprehension and are therefore somewhat inexplicable. I was reluctant to answer as I do feel your question is more of a piss take, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
