I feel so bad for griving parents. I believe that dead babies go to Heaven, but I have no proof.

From 2nd Samuel Chapter 11, when David was told the child of his adultery with Bathsheba would die.....

13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.

16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.

18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?

19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?

23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

Babies are considered innocent, they did not ask to be born. Everybody here has lost there innocence. Babies, born or unborn, go to be with the Lord if their time ends early.

Dead babies definitely go to Heaven. I believe God isn't that unfair.

I believe so. A babe is innocent, pure and clean. If you believe in a kind and loving God you must also believe that He would guard the souls of the dead children until they are born again on earth. Or if you don't believe in born again or reincarnation, I still believe he would cherish them.

Do dead babies go to Heaven according to the Bible?

according to the Bible?

Even though, there's more to Christian theology than directly drawing from the Bible. Just as there's more to maths than directly drawing from the Elements.

I think so, yes. I think the bible is a general set of rules or guidelines, it has history to it and that shouldn't be entirely excluded but interpretations vary depending on the person, so it's important to draw conclusions from more than a book that was written by man.

I also feel like that was a bit of a run on sentence but...dang I'm too tired to fix it so I'll just run with it.

Yes, Heaven is full of millions of aborted fetuses and then just a few dozen angry conservative religious right dudes like FromWithin and SaintNow. I hope they know how to change diapers.

Side: Yes.

Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris will be doing the diaper changes. Sound nice?

Side: No.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." MATTHEW 19:14

Side: Yes.

The person dying may be young or a bit old - what difference does that make against eternity? Both are equally infinitesimal.

So, no, God had no reason to differentiate between them.

Side: No.

The Bible doesn't say anything one way or the other. Some might while others might not. Perhaps they all do, but there is nothing in the Bible that states it.

Some babies according to the bible go to Hell as evil god takes pleasure in seeing babies and indeed the unborn being sentenced to eternity in Hell ; evil god is so eager to see the unborn suffer in Helll he commands abortion in his name as the unborn are deserving of hellfire .

Ps 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

1 Samuel 15:3 God commands the death of helpless “suckling” infants.  This literally means that the children god killed were still nursing.

Psalms 135:8 & 136:10 Here god is praised for slaughtering little babies.

Psalms 137:9 Here god commands that infants should be “dashed upon the rocks”.

Side: No.
