Tough Questions for Christians 14: Kill Your Kids for Christ

I’m going to step out of the Bible for just a moment, I'm going to talk about a non-Biblical belief that a lot of Christians still hold. It’s called the “Age of Accountability,” the belief that children are pure and innocent in the eyes of God, and that they will be sent to Heaven regardless of the actions they have committed.

Until they reach the Age of Accountability. Some religions have a specific date, a specific age at which this Age of Accountability kicks in. For others, it’s a general thing determined whenever the child reaches a mentally stable point.

But for some it’s a specific birthday. Imagine it’s eight years old. Your child is seven years old, it’s the day before their birthday. Right now they’re still innocent in God’s eyes, they’re pure, spotless, and clean – but tomorrow, on their birthday, they become sinful wretches who deserve the fiery pits of Hell, overnight.

It completely changes them in God’s eyes.

Now if you’re a Christian who doesn’t believe in the Age of Accountability, quit watching the video, it doesn’t apply to you. I don’t need you leaving comments saying that the Age of Accountability doesn’t exist, because frankly I don’t care.

Besides, that means you believe that God is torturing children who die before they’re old enough to accept Jesus, and that makes your God pretty much a monster. So, if that’s what you want to worship, that’s fine by me.

For the rest of you who believe that God will forgive sins for children, but won’t forgive them for adults get beyond a certain age, or children who get beyond a certain age for that matter, why don’t you kill your kids?

Look at Andrea Yates, she killed her children because she believed that God told her to. She believed it was the only way that they could make it to Heaven. And frankly, if the age of accountability is correct, then she may have been right. She may’ve done the only thing she could do to save their souls.

These children may have rejected Jesus, then gone on to do other things, and ended up burning in Hell forever. By being killed before they were old enough to be held accountable for their actions, they were rushed straight to Heaven.

In fact, if the Age of Accountability is true, then abortion doctors are bringing more souls to Christ then missionaries. If the Age of Accountability exists, then the best thing a Christian can do is become an abortion doctor, or bomb preschools or elementary schools. Kill the kids before they’re old enough to be held responsible.

It’s the only way you can guarantee that you’re bringing their souls to Christ.

Yes, you’re putting your own soul at risk, and I understand God said “Thou shalt not kill,” but you can always repent later.

It’s an amazingly selfless act to send millions of souls to be with God, and send all these souls to Heaven, and save them from the fires of Hell – while knowingly sending yourself directly to those fires.

Most parents out there would willingly jump in front of a semi-truck if it meant they could throw their kid out of the way, even if they knew it would cost them their life doing so.

Is your eternal life so much different than your physical life?

Would you be willing to cast your own eternal life to Hell in order to save your child and make sure that they got to live in an eternity of bliss? If not, why?
