you know the fact that the prize of reading the bible and loving God will be
((((heaven)))) - that is just so unfair!
what if you are blind and deaf and retarded! you know , when the good Doctor told the Good Christian lady that the child will never be able to do anything when born - and sure enough the Good Dr Scientist was right and now , Johny is so retarded that he cant even keep his drooling in check!
and the good christian mommy and daddy took Johny to a group home to live the rest of his life (all of 15years) out in peace(right)! so Johny isn't able to worship the big guy in the sky!!!!!!!!!!!
what happens to little Johny ????? will he need to go to hell??????

What happens to animals too? Maybe retarded people get a free pass like animals. I hope there are no fleas in heaven.

ANYONE who is unable to know right from wrong and make their own decision is safe in the hands of Jesus.
1. A child to young to know and understand (that is why infant baptism is worthless)
2. An adult who is retarded is the same as a child, they can not know and understand or make the choice.
3. Some talk about the *age* of accountability, the age is different for every person.
4. The *age* is when a person does know right from wrong, does understand and can make their own choice.
5. For some it might be early teens, for some who are slow it might not be until 30's 40's or older and for some, they are forever secure for they will never be able to understand in this life due to retardation.

There are 4 dimensions: Hell, Purgatory, Earth, Heaven.
If the baby is born and dies and he is unnamed then he stays in Purgatory. If he dies but he is named then he goes to Heaven. I see your example is named... so he goes to Heaven for the simple fact that there is a age limit and he was named. A child is said that he has no idea he has mistaken, he does not know what he did so he is forgiven, until the age of 12 or 13... or 10-11... don`t know exactly. But this is the religious theory, so don`t go on me yelling something... I just answered the question.

Fairness is a child's concept of justice.
Fairness is when you have to share what you bring to school because no one else bothered.
No one owes anyone "heaven". God does not owe little "Johnny" heaven. It isn't a debt.
Hell might simply be being apart from God to a certain degree.
It is for me.
Five people want to live in the United States. One of them doesn't hear about the train going there.
Why is the United States obligated to go look for this person, let alone invite them?
I'm not a Christian. Not even religious.
I'm just tired of this VERY tired and silly argument being posted.

I don't recall ever hearing that retarded people are going to hell because they don't understand. The Bible does say that if you have faith the grain of a mustard seed you can move a mountain. I think even little Johnny can have a faith that small, and be saved. Being saved does not depend on us and our knowledge, but on GOD and his love.

First of all there is an age of accountability and some never reach it. Those who never reach the age of accountability, like children or one who brain never fully develops go straight to heaven. But when you reach the age of accountability the only way is through Christ. We are not to judge though, only God knows ones heart and He is the one who will be doing the judging.

They who don't understand the law are not held accountable for it. I know because I've researched on my own. My sister is a little like Johny.

your intent in this question is to:
poke fun at retarded people
accuse christians of being merciless
make God look like He is a mean joker.
ask yourself: do you deny CHRIST? if you deny Him, you deny yourself salvation, and you consciously choose to pay the penalty for your own sins: death in hell.
edit: "....enough the Good Dr Scientist was right and now , Johny is so retarded that he cant even keep his drooling in check!"
yea SURE..you were serious.

Goes to Heaven. Simple enough. Just like an innocent child who cannot conceive the whole purpose of Christ at a young age.

God loves the feeble -minded and he will have mercy on him.
How can you assume to know that he is not going to heaven ??? How many of those type of children have gone from this life and returned back and reported to you, that they were put in hell ???
Stop assuming things and get to know the loving God ,who has mercy more than we deserve !!!
