Bible Question:
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? |
Bible Answer: 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. |
