What happens to unbaptized children. Surely Our Father would not damn them to hell for the failings of their parents and the society that raised their parents and their parent's parents.

Oh Lord, please do not damn unbaptized children to hell. It is too cruel a thought.

Not all parts of hell are fire but the belief that the unbaptized are somehow in heaven goes against the nature of original sin, what Jesus said, and hides the evilness of killing children. God also knows more than us including the life of a person and I’ve personally witnessed children be saved from death.

If there were no original sin then there would have been no need for a Covenant and Jesus’ sacrifice.

So an unbaptized child that dies at any point before age of accountability still just goes to hell?

That doesn't seem right to me.

The Almighty Eternal Creator and Giver of All Life does not change.
No man or woman or scholar or guesser or whoever can tell you what happens with unbaptized children, nor even with baptized children for that matter.
The Potter has no obligation to explain to the clay , and in the last 2000 years The Alimighty Creator has not explained to His 'clay pots' (men) , and is not at all likely to do so now.

No they don't go to hell.
Miscarriage, abortions, stillborn, deaths of a child, any age, before the age of discernment go to heaven. At discernment we all have freewill choice, to choose or reject Christ.
Why would God say a mill stone be around the neck of one who would harm a child, and thrown into the deepest sea. God condemns harm to a child.
The "religions" that teach otherwise don't know God.
They teach fear. Jesus repeatedly said fear not. Trust in God.

Yes, David mentioned this in regard to his first child with Bathsheba that died. He would go to the child, it would not come to him, implying that the baby is in Heaven. 2 Samuel 12:23

It gets more complicated than that. There are many Christian priests who argue that baptism as a child DOES NOT ACTUALLY COUNT because the bible says you must be of a right mind. They argue that children have not developed a mature mind to accept Christ and take the baptism. So they will argue that if you were baptized as a child you must be baptized as an adult.

The whole thing gets very complicated and there's verses people often use in these arguments. I find the controversy to be tiring and unproductive

Theres a layer of Hell that is a paradise, called Limbo, theres no suffering there and its a land of eternal bliss. Its hinted at in the Bible and called the Bosom of Abraham, where the Patriarchs and all the other just dead lived before Christ came to open the way to heaven. Its also widely believed that unbaptized children and virtuous pagans go to Limbo, which the Pagans called Elysium and Valhalla. So while good pagans and unbaptized infants do go to Hell, it is not the burning flames of Gehenna or the bottomless darkness of Abaddon, but rather a pleasant realm of beauty where there is no suffering. The only thing they lack is the Beatific Vision, all their other desires and needs are met.

Because it’s bullshit. It all is.


Just focus on what matters, race and ethnicity. Stop getting distracted by stories meant to placate weaker minds.

Everyone went to hell including Jesus except in Jesus’ case He conquered death and ascended to Heaven with those in Abraham’s Bosom.

But I think people who share your concerns forget who God is. He is just and fair. Those that weren’t baptized would have never been saved. It’s His Will that everyone be saved and God is the Spirit of Truth, therefore everyone who had the chance to be saved has received the opportunity.

It doesn’t mean their death should be tolerated. You should be angry and uncompromising on the life of a child but not at God. Those who would take their life should be shamed and treated as vile creatures. Their actions must always be called out as murder committed by those unfit to partake in society.

All the more reason to steer society back to Godliness, so that no child must die without having known God in life.
