Bible Question:
do babies go to heaven or hell? some said they go to heaven because they haven't sinned yet, while others said that they are born with sin(sinful nature) so they go to hell. |
Bible Answer: Hi gamewiz, This is a long debated question and the bible doesn't state in specific terms "yes" or "no". There is an old debate over an argument referred to as "age of accountability". I will not go into it here as a search of the topic will produce much prior discussion. babies do have Adam's sin imputed to them. That is why it is possible for them to die. Physical death is the penalty for Adam's sin and results in every person being born with a sin nature and thus referred to as "sinners". See Gen. 3:19. but going to Hell is a result of individual sin, that is sin that you are personally responsible for. God does not condemn one to Hell because his/her father sinned (though your father's sin my have lasting consequences in this life that directly effect you and even your children). Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; If I die and go to hell, it is because of my own personal sin, not the sin of my father or his father or his father....... or his father Adam. Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Hope this helps, Jeff |
