where do babies go when they die?

Question

were to babies go since they dont know right from wrong or anything for that matter and they havent even heard of a god or christ...i know that it says someweres in the new testament part of the bible but i forgot.

Answer 1

Luke 18:16
But Jesus called the children to Him and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

Answer 2

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me"... I personally think that they all go to heaven. I'm new with studying the Bible though so I don't know what that says. I know that it does say in 1 Corinthians 7:12-14, (The last line is my point)

"To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother [man of God] has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy."

So that basically says that if a mother or a father are Christian the child is holy. This was a scripture written by Paul, not the Lord... so I am not sure what else the Bible has to say about the topic.

Again... my personal belief is that all children who have not lost their innocence... whose hearts have not hardened... go to Heaven.

Answer 3

Due to the effects of original sin, no unbaptized person, baby or not, is fit to enter heaven.

The proof if this is death itself, as death is the universal penalty for sin, so if babies were in fact not affected by sin, then they could not die.

Since babies do indeed die, they must also be affected by sin in some important way ... hence no sinner typically gets to enter heaven without benefit of baptism.

God may have other ways to deal with these things that he has not shared with us, so hope remains.

But in the end, all we can do is entrust these souls to the care of our Lord, and hope that love will find a way.

Answer 4

Awake! asked Doug what had sustained him and Anne through their grief.

“I remember that the funeral talk was helpful. What comforted us most of all that day was our Christian hope in the resurrection. Her loss was felt deeply, but the hurt was softened by God’s promise through Christ of seeing her again here on earth. From the Bible, we saw that the effects of death are reversible. The speaker showed from the Bible that Rachel was not in heaven ‘as a little angel’ nor in Limbo awaiting release to heaven. She was simply asleep in the common grave of mankind.”—See John 5:28, 29; 11:11-14; Ecclesiastes 9:5.

Awake!: “How would you answer those who say that ‘God took her’?”

“It would be a selfish God who would take little children from their parents. The Bible’s answer at Ecclesiastes 9:11 is enlightening: ‘Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all.’ And Psalm 51:5 tells us that all of us are imperfect, sinful, from the time of our conception, and the eventuality for all men now is death from any number of causes. Sometimes death strikes before birth, resulting in a stillbirth. In Rachel’s case, she contracted something as an infant that overwhelmed her system—an unforeseen occurrence.”

Every day thousands of homes lose a child in death. Many of these are babies who die from SIDS. Compassionate friends, doctors, hospital staff, and counselors can mean so much in such tragic circumstances. (See box to the left.) Also, accurate knowledge of God’s purposes toward mankind can truly sustain grieving parents.

If you would like to know more about God’s promise of a resurrection to perfect life on earth, please feel free to contact Jehovah’s Witnesses in your neighborhood. They will gladly help you with comfort from God’s Word, without obligation.

Answer 5

Apple chick is right!

" 11 Now, concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection--Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life."

Little babies are righteous and good! It is sort of long but please read the following - it will help you understand:

" 8 Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance; the whole need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them; and the law of circumcision is done away in me.
9 And after this manner did the Holy Ghost manifest the word of God unto me; wherefore, my beloved son, I know that it is solemn mockery before God, that ye should baptize little children.
10 Behold I say unto you that this thing shall ye teach--repentance and baptism unto those who are accountable and capable of committing sin; yea, teach parents that they must repent and be baptized, and humble themselves as their little children, and they shall all be saved with their little children.
11 And their little children need no repentance, neither baptism. Behold, baptism is unto repentance to the fulfilling the commandments unto the remission of sins.
12 But little children are alive in Christ, even from the foundation of the world; if not so, God is a partial God, and also a changeable God, and a respecter to persons; for how many little children have died without baptism!
13 Wherefore, if little children could not be saved without baptism, these must have gone to an endless hell.
14 Behold I say unto you, that he that supposeth that little children need baptism is in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity; for he hath neither faith, hope, nor charity; wherefore, should he be cut off while in the thought, he must go down to hell.
15 For awful is the wickedness to suppose that God saveth one child because of baptism, and the other must perish because he hath no baptism."

Answer 6

i don't know about Christianity, but in my religion we believe babies go straight 2 heaven, as they did no sins and don't know anything about it as u said. We also believe that they go 2 heaven coz they r God's gift 2 us and He decided 2 take them back, this might hurt when u depart ur kid but he/she can b the reason u go 2 heaven too 1 day.

Answer 7

According to King David. To God.

2Sa 12:23
“But now [my baby] is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.”

Answer 8

Like any other soul, they are reborn. All souls eventually come back to earth until they have learned all they need to know.

Blessed be.

Answer 9

I believe all babies should go to paradise. No question about it.

Answer 10

nowhere in actuality they cease to be . if you want the superstitious religious fantasy they used to talk about limbo for those who could not have earned purgatory or heaven at least that was the theological speak of the past in catholic terms.The bible is apt to say almost anything . Bhaghavad Gita might lend itself to returning as a rat and that is respected in India. peace on earth not cartoon city .
