1 | Children in Hell | Luke 16:22 | VerticalRelationship | 92218 | ||
When the Israelites crossed the Jordan River and went into Canaan there was much bloodshed. All of the people they conquered were killed including women young and old and children. Why? Did they perish after being killed? Did all go to Hell including babes? |

2 | Children in Hell | Luke 16:22 | newoldstock | 92219 | ||
The Canaanites were a wicked people. God sometimes used one nation to punish another nation. God also did not want cross-marriage and religious contamination of his chosen people. The dead prior to Jesus's ascension all went to Sheol. Part of it was Abraham's bosom and the other part was Hades. | ||||||

The children too? Isn't there an age of accountability? Sheol was the Land of the Dead? Abraham's bosom the place the Israelites went to? Hades for all others? What about Adam and Eve, Abel, and others before Abraham? How could anyone walk righteous without the Holy Spirit? |

There is no mention of an "age of accountability" in Scripture. My own personal feeling is that the sins of a child are not on the same level and motivation of those of an adult. God is Love! I'll leave the children question up to Him. Lengthy discussion would be human conjecture. To find out more about Sheol and Hades and Hell enter Sheol into the "quick search" box at the upper right of the screen. It has been well covered on this fine site. I would assume that those before Abraham were in Sheol until Jesus released them during his body's 3 days in the tomb. Perhaps someone else could answer this for both of us. God Bless, Jim. |
