Send your own children to HELL because they disobey you, dishonor you and just do whatever they wanted? Would you send them to eternal flames and suffering?

According to Leviticus 19, children who disobey or curse their parents shall be put to death.

If a child is acting this way, it is because of the way they were raised by the parents to begin with..... but those who have the capacity to read and understand what the Bible says and still are dishonorable and disobedient to God even after it is made known what HE expects of you, then NO WONDER God won't let them into the kingdom of Heaven....
We as human beings (who are not all-powerful like GOD) DO NOT have the authority to send our children to hell, but GOD does since HE is the reason we are alive to begin with!
There is NO COMPARISON!!

Everyone on Earth is NOT His child! That is a 'Feel Good ism ' that is taught by those who don't know the Bible. The Bible makes lines of separation for those who are paying attention. Even those who are descendants of Abraham are not the sons of Abraham, according to the Bible.
So if anyone tells you that God will send His children to Hell, ask them their source, because it's not in the Bible!
6 It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." 8 In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring. 9 For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son."
Any person who thinks that "God's loves everybody does not understand what Romans 9 is saying. Neither do hey understand who Jesus was talking to when He was talking to the Pharisees, who were sons of Abraham as well. Jesus said that those who believe in Him shall not be condemned. They are then the children of promise, which is gained by trusting God through Jesus Christ, and not by any other means.

If you tell your teenage son not to drink and drive, but he disobeys you, and ends up dieing in a car accident, did you make him get killed in that accident because he disobeyed you? Or is he responsible for his own actions?
God is the same way. He tells us what we need to know to be saved from hell. It's our choice whether we listen to Him or not. He's not sending anyone there. We choose where we will end up, based on if we obeyed God or not.

I don't think anyone could send another person to hell first off..
We are responsible for our own actions...
children should they past away at a young age are not of legal age to go to hell..
besides our God is a forgiving God..
If the child is grown..
then it is up to them what they do.. not up to the parent..!!
good try... good luck..

Jeremiah 7:31-33 (AS)
And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into my mind.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place [to bury].
And the dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.
Rev. 20:13 (AS)
And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
No, nor did the God of the Bible ever think of burning people even for a little while. Gehenna is for burying unrepentant ones, final second death.....only "dead" people are in hell/hades not live ones and they receive a resurrection out of it to earth.
And yes, it is the heavenly class that sends people to eternal punishment. They don't go to heaven to play, but to judge. Luke 22:28-30, 1 Cor. 6:2

Remember, your view of hell comes from hollywood, who got it from the catholics, who got it from greek and norse mythology. Hel is the daughter of Loki, who rules the underworld. The greek mind (which most of us have) believe that when you die you don't really die.
Let restore some truth, Hebrew style. When you die you go to the grave and become soil. We all will be resurrected someday and judged (whole other topic). We will either inherit eternal life or eternal death. Its good to see a Hebrew in the making who can see the error in that theology. Shalom.

No, of course not.
But likely if they had no desire to live in harmony with me, they would choose to stay as far away from me as possible.
So it is with God. He provided everything necessary to get us into heaven and paid the price for our sins through Christ, but many of us would rather be as far away from Him as possible and thus reject His provisions. In effect, we choose hell for ourselves, preferring eternal flames and suffering than to acknowledge that God is God.

Just like all the agnmostics and atheists here, God still loves them- but if they choose to live in disobedience, tough love is in order.
