Where in the bible does it say Children won’t go to hell?

It doesn't. All go to hell at death including children and Christians.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god.Look at a map.In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said. Apparently its to difficult for most Christians to actually look up the meaning of a word, they prefer to listen to the lies that their preacher spews from the pulpit. My God will put you in hell when you die,the grave, and regardless of your beliefs or how you lived you will be resurected for judgement. To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14,this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment.I am a Christian and I think its a shame that churches use these kind of scare tactics to keep people in church.

And I cannot imagine that anyone outside true believers can imagine any of these answers help at all. Children die of horrible diseases in the first year of life, why bother if your answer is that they are going to heaven (of which you have no proof), why not just skip the bit on earth?\n\nAnd the sickest thing is that Christians will say its because someone else has sinned, even the most blind human knows you do not punish someone, particularly the most helpless, because of someone elses transgression.

The Christian idea of hell comes from the New Testament.  Specifically, Luke chapter 16.  Jesus tells a story about a man who finds himself suffering in hell.  Later in the New Testament there is talk about an eternal lake of fire, which sinful people will be thrown into, and where the devil will suffer eternally.  People have extrapolated what happens to the devil to include all people thrown into the lake of fire suffering eternally too.  However, I find that the New Testament has a whole lot more references to people either going to heaven or dieing.  A person might be tossed into an eternal lake of fire, but while the lake of fire might last forever, the people thrown in will die quickly.  I noticed one person pointing out some verses in the New Testament book of Revelations.  He says that the verses say the damned shall be tormented forever, but the verses clearly say the smoke from the people will go on forever.  So the people die.

Biblical it is said that we All are born into sin and no one is righteous not one. I've noticed that my 2 year old does things out of fear and to test me to see how far can he go if I don't discipline or teach him the right way. Great question!\n\nShalom

Both will go to hell, and yes you will along with everybody else, including Christians. All go to hell at death.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god. Look at a map its on there. In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit.

I have heard of Christians who do not believe in hell.  It is ashamed, because if you call yourself a christian and then do not believe in eternal punishment, I guess you are calling Christ a liar.  Jesus has mentioned hell in the bible.  It is mentioned throughout the bible.  For those supposed Christians who do not believe in hell, they need to drop being christians, because Christ never lied.

No, they are not condemned to go to hell\nbecause you call them by all these rude and\nhurting words. It is not a sin to be who you are.\nHowever, if you do not love thy neighbor\nas the ten commandments say, then you are \ncommitting a sin. God created us all in his\nimage. Are you saying he made a mistake\nand has not fixed that yet? What is Hell?\nFor allot of these people living in to days world is hell.\nAnd all the the righteous and Strong Christians etc,\nshould not point fingers at other people and say they\nare sinners before they have checked out their own\n'LAUNDRY"

There is only one hell. The bible tells us that God wishes that none of us would perish.

In terms of Christianity, it is forbidden by the bible.

No, they are not all going to Hell and God is giving them a chance.  Acts     17 :  30    And the times of this ignorance  God  winked  at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.  God will not hold anyone responsible for things they knew nothing about but only when you know and still do not do the right thing, then you will pay.  So God has and is giving them a chance as HE knows their heart and if they would have followed Him if they had known about Him.

Like the people in an unknown Pigmy tribe??  \n\nGod will judge their hearts.. I don't think He would throw anyone away because they were never taught.\n\nGod is too merciful and loving for that.\n\nNow, if someone were exposed to Jesus , and they denied the Lord, then that's a different story. Yes, according to the Bible, they would go to hell. :o(

I think it is a good thing you are trying to find an answer in scripture.  I can point you to  a couple of items that may be of interest to you.\n\nI do not know of any verse of scripture that specifically discusses harming a child.  There are some verses Jesus said which talk about children.  This is one of them.  This same scripture is mentioned in Mark 10:14 and Luke 18:16\n\nMatthew 19:14\nBut Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."\n\nJesus understood the innocent nature of children and uses this to paint a picture of heaven. (my opinion)\n\nWhen we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we become children of God.  These verses warn us not to hinder people from becoming children of God, from coming to know Jesus.\n\nFrom your post I can sense you still harbor much anger for things that have occured in your past.  You also mention you believe in God.  If you truly believe in God and can understand how Jesus continued to teach us until his death, then forgiveness is paramount to your walking with God.\n\nMatthew 6:14 states "For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."  \n\nIt is my guess your friend is just trying to help.  You will never be able to forget things that happened to you but forgiveness is possible.  Not being able to forgive someone who has wronged you but then expecting forgiveness from God for things we have done wrong is a contradiction.  God never said it was going to be easy and in fact we all have issues that God wants us to ask him to help us with.  I hope you can find a way to truly forgive the person who hurt you.  What good does it do you to hold on to that kind of junk, get rid of it.  Just because you forgive someone doesn't mean any of the consequences concerning what happened will change.  You can be the better person.  Once you can forgive, a great burden will be lifted from you and your walk with God will become much stronger.  God has been waiting for you to come to him with these issues.  He wants to be there for you and he will help you through anything.

Scriptureman says:\n\nPsa 9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Otiginally the word Suffer meant Allow,  Jesus was saying allow the Children to come to me, for the Kingdom of Heaven is meant for such as these, and unless you become as a little child, you shall not enter the Kingdom

yes, they are going to hell for not believing this: you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. Dont be shy to contact me on this by going to my profile.

The first two answers are correct. All go to hell at death including Christians.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god. Look at a map.In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. The more ancient Bibles such as the geneva OT did not use the word hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said.

To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14,this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment. The lake of fire is a seperate issue from hell, yet churches constantly use the lake of fire verses and substitute in the word hell to deceive the masses.
