Let's say a child grows up in a (Christian, Jewish, or Muslim) household, and this child specifically adheres to the teachings of either (the Torah, Bible, or Quran, whichever u beleive) to the best they can, always conciously, and this child's parents have a strict discipline to thier basis of Faith.
The child grows upto teenage years, having never disobeyed a rule, not conciously, always having the intent to serve thier God, to obey thier parents and live by thier Faith as best he or she can.
But one day, this teenager, sees a person drop thier penny on the floor, and steals it.
The stole.
They have sinned, with intention.
They die the day after, without having sed they are sorry, without the slighest bit of remourse, but knowing they have done something against the discipline of thier Faith.
Will this person end up in Hell ? For one sin ? Why or why not ?
* I sincerely Hope someone with brains gets the intent of this question....otherwise, I give up 🙄 [/B]
According to most Christian beliefs, though some may not want to admit it, YES they will go to hell because they did not repent. There are some Catholics that wear a special type necklace for just that purpose. It's a protector in case you forget thingie.
