Hope you don't mind me posting this here.
My son is 11. What would you say?
I'm Christian, but he is not. Myself and Dad have decided not to force or influence our son to our beliefs. So we have both told him what we believe and let him make up his own mind.
However, when I was talking to him, telling him about Heaven is fine. But how do you explain what would happen to someone who isn't Christian? I don't (and won't) tell him that they would go to hell. That will scare him. And I certainly don't want to be using the concept of hell to scare or put fear in him to believe in Christ and profess faith!
So, if a child approached you (as a Christian) and wanted to know what happens when we die, but they aren't Christian.....what would you say?
