Yup what about the other good guys in history (Ghandi=Hindu) etc, they go to hell too because they have not accepted Jesus.
I think there is something in the bible which says If people have not been given the chance of learning about Jesus they get a free pass

Thats is what I was told, when I asked where the little babies or small children went when a tragedy happened to them. Animals too.

Here is another question that no one has been able to answer.

Where exactly did Noah build his ark? And how were there 2 of every types of animal within walking distance to the ark?

Here's another one:
The Messiah was to be a descendent of King David, but King David was an ancestor of Joseph. If Jesus was the son of "god", then how is Christ a descendent of David?

Or... the world is only 6000 years old, but 8000 year old living spruce trees were discovered in Sweden in 2008, not even mentioning 12,000 year old Venus statues, or fossils.

my question is? what about the mayans? the ancient egyptians? the incas? cavemen etc...what about them? how were they to accept jesus christ as their savior when he wasnt even born yet? are they to live in eternal hell for this?


I will refer you to read Romans 2. In there, there is a passage which basically says : Therefore, even Gentiles - people not under the Law of Moses, those who do not know of Christ - have an internal law from God, the natural law written in their hearts, according to which God will judge them.

Hope that helps.

Peace

how were the natives living in north america supposed to know jesus was born? why was he born in a certain part of the planet, and not the other? that doesnt seem fair..
reply to post by k1k1to


Well, the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) believe Jesus did come to America but I believe it was only after he was crucified. They say he came here to teach his way to the Native Americans. They claim the Native Americans referenced him to being a "great white spirit" which is actually mentioned in Native American lore.
I don't claim to know. Just saying.

I am not much of a "Jesus" kind of person. What I believe that the message really is is this

"Believe in the Church and everything the Church tells you. Be a good sheep otherwise, terrible things will happen to you and your family (go to hell). Our message is the only thing that must matter to you, trust us... or else"

Religion in itself is IMO used to group people together, but at the same time, divide the masses. It is a method of control with books of law, and sacred texts
5.1 Ancient Greece
5.2 Asatru
5.3 Atenism
5.4 Ayyavazhi
5.5 Bahá'í Faith
5.6 Bön
5.7 Buddhism
5.8 Cheondoism
5.9 Christianity
5.10 Confucianism
5.11 Discordianism
5.12 Druze
5.13 Ancient Egyptian religion
5.14 Etruscan religion
5.15 Hermeticism
5.16 Hinduism
5.17 Islam
5.18 Jainism
5.19 Judaism
5.20 LaVeyan Satanism
5.21 Lingayatism
5.22 Mandaeanism
5.23 Manichaeism
5.24 Meher Baba
5.25 New Age religions
5.26 Orphism
5.27 Rastafari movement
5.28 Ravidassia
5.29 Samaritanism
5.30 Scientology
5.31 Shinto
5.32 Sikhism
5.33 Spiritism
5.34 Sumerian
5.35 Swedenborgianism
5.36 Taoism
5.37 Tenrikyo
5.38 Thelema
5.39 Unification Church
5.40 Wicca
5.41 Yazidi
5.42 Zoroastrianism
Sacred Texts Wiki

Also, IMO, the average message of most religion is the same but uses different icons
1 Indian religions
1.1 Hinduism
1.1.1 Sahasranama
1.2 Sikhism
2 Abrahamic religions
2.1 Judaism
2.2 Christianity
2.3 Islam
2.3.1 Sufism
3 African religions
4 Other religions
4.1 Bahá'í Faith
4.2 Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University
4.3 Native American religions
4.4 New religions
4.5 Zoroastrianism
5 Taboos
Names of God(s) Wiki

IMO, you should be wise enough to be your own religion and do what you believe is right without having other control your life with old stories.

I may not be correct here, but I believe I heard this along the way somewhere:

Before Jesus came, no one entered the Kingdom of Heaven. All souls that passed away were just in a suspended state. Once Jesus died, and paid for the sins of Mankind, redemption was granted to those souls that came before him, those on earth, as well as everyone to come, and they were given "new" life.

So, there you go. That is what I remember from my Catholic School upbringing. But, as I said, I may have remembered incorrectly.
