Question

if a young confused child commits suicide does he go to hell? When I say young I mean five or six. Thank you for your answers

Answer 1

Anyone who has not reached the age of accountability, meaning they UNDERSTAND right from wrong; is safe in the Grace of God. That age can vary, obviously depending on the individual child.

Therefore to him that KNOWETH to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17

Answer 2

Hell is not for little children, innocent and unaware of all the wrong in the world. At this age, the child is too young and Jesus said let the little children come unto Me. The child is with Christ and the child is feeling and experiencing more love than the child could ever have received here on earth. Blessed is this little child.

Answer 3

No.

At that age they have not achieved awarness of good and evil to be inverted and removed from the book of life. They are still one with God even though they are not aware of God.

Upon death, they are in God's presence instantly and reaches full maturity simultaneously upon arrival.

A young confused child who at the age of five or six who commits suicide is driven by a demon (a fallen angel) to do so.

This is only possible if the demon had access to the child's will through something that the child did or had possession of that belonged to the demon.

Answer 4

I do not believe that any child is going to hell... whether they commit suicide, or die of any other cause. I believe that once a person/child/adult has chosen to reject Jesus as the Savior, that they have made the choice to not spend eternity in the presence of God. They have made their own choice

suicide doesnt condemn anyone to hell... what God sees is the condition of the heart... if they are in the book of Life because they have accepted Him as Lord.... they will go to heaven

Answer 5

No, because a child that young would not understand the concept of sin.

Not to mention, anyone who commits suicide is, probably, suffering from severe emotional or mental distress.

This would mitigate, if not entirely eliminate, the guilt associated with the act of killing.

Contrary to popular and misinformed belief, the Catholic Church does NOT teach that people who commit suicide automatically go to hell.

The Church has, and has always had, funeral rites for people who take their own lives. It commits their souls to the mercy of God, and recognizes the fact that people who commit suicide are not responsible for their act, at least not entirely.

Some people who take their own lives may be in a healthy frame of mind -- for instance, the soldier who dives on top of a grenade in order to save the rest of his platoon.

But even then, there's nothing saying that this person would go to hell. After all, as Jesus said, there's no greater love than to lay down one's life for others.

Answer 6

The false doctrine of hellfire is not a Biblical teaching. The Bible says that 'the dead are conscious of nothing' at all. So if a person commits suicide, they are dead in the ground like everyone else. Only God can read someone's heart, so only He knows if they will be resurrected- Paul did talk about "a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous". It's up to God, not us. He is perfect and just, so I trust that His decisions are the best.

Answer 7

If the child has not reached the age of accountability than he/she goes to heaven. Other than that if the child is saved by the blood of Jesus then they will go to heaven just like the rest of us.

Answer 8

It doesn't matter the age. Suicide doesn't mean instant condemnation.

Only non-Christians will go to hell.

God is Sovereign. We don't know all the answers. Sorry.

Answer 9

The child has not reached the age of accountability. So his sins are not held against him.

Answer 10

Only God knows that answer. But I doubt if his soul would go to hell!
