Concerning your question am coming.

Azil:
They'll be judged by their works, right vs wrong.

But how will that work? Take the Aztecs for instance who practiced human sacrifice because their religious beliefs then said it was right to appease their gods. They had no knowledge of Christianity. However by the standards of Christianity, it is wrong. So where does that leave them?

Or when we used to kill twins and it was the right thing to do then, all those who practiced that right prior to ever knowing the Christian doctrine, will they still be judged as right or wrong?

Those that existed long before there was written language? Which bible version will they refer to? How about those who language became extinct with their civilisation, how will they be communicated with?

How will they be able to test the information provided against their own knowledge of the world they lived in which is different to what we have now, and make an informed decision?

Chuksdthird:
The death Christ transcends over time. Any human being no matter in what age he or she lived will be saved if he or she is found worthy of redemption. Have a blissful Sunday...

On what basis will their worthiness be determined?

Op.I am humbled by your sense of maturity and Good will.To be honest with you,Christianity is very confusing and contradictory.
No body on this forum will give you a correct answer,they would only express their contradictory opinions(and even start quarreling over superiority of opinions)
The best option for you is to use Google search and check the Biblical references you may find therein.
Otherwise,just don't bother yourself anymore.just live a good life so that when you die,your soul will go to a good place.
No Religion is worth giving yourself Headache over.
HAPPY SUNDAY

Abraham died before Jesus was born but he didn't go to hell. same goes for many prophets before Jesus.





now that you're here, worry less about such things because we aren't saved by the works of the law. anymore.

just focus on yourself now and your own race not the race of people before Jesus Christ .

Ok nah

Well u see...before the birth of jesus there are several prophets and messengers who came to being, and those people they are sent to, are to believe in them and what they r sent with,if u believe u r safe and if u reject their teachings, there are two things involved. Its either u burn to ashes or u enjoy the mercy and blessings of their creator and lavish in paradise.

Abudu2000:
Christianity is all a sham, jesus was just a guy who walled the face of the earth just like you and me....

Christianity helped the Colonial masters cage our mind and till date pur mind is still dead and buried in the illusion, even with all the technological advancements which has revealed everything on planet earth people still choose not to believe with facts rather than fictions....

Let me get funny, i ones asked a guy whom his pastor was caught cheating with a married lady, i wanted to know where the pastor would be headed when he dies, the guy was like, it's not in our position to say,lol ,so it is in ur position to give him offering and tites,but not to criticize his actions right, lol, speak of licking a lime and smiling....

AND YOU THINK SAY YOU DON TALK

Billyonaire:
Jesus Christ was NOT a Christian. He was a Jew.

Having said that, I want to state that Heaven is not a destination, it is a bubble that has been created due to thoughts and emotions of religious people, if you ever find yourself in any heaven, it is just a mental construct within the mental plane and you will be out again journeying through the Galaxies, our creation, for our experiences.

Enjoy your world, it is yours for your amusement and happiness.

it is even though to first think dat jesus christ is a christian........christians are ppl who behave lik christ.....so hw wud christ himself behave like christ....christ wud be christ......

alBHAGDADI:
Many of them shall be judged according to the law of Moses, but it applies to the Israelites alone.

As for the non-israelites that died before Christ, they will be preached during the resurrection period when all that have died since Adam will rise from the dead. During that period, Satan will be bound in chains for a period of 1000yrs, which is the millennial reign of Christ. Those people will be made to see how their beliefs were wrong. After the 1000yr reign, Satan will be let lose again to test mankind for one last time. Anyone that chose to follow him at that time will be doomed with him.

I really would have love to quote Bible verses to support this, but am short on MB.

but you have MB to quote The Quran.. Mofo

kerryjossy:
No one has an excuse for not knowing God. The bible says that since creation, the truth about God's word is known to man instinctively.. God has put this knowledge in the heart of man..Eccl 3:1. When u respond to this instinct and reach out to God, He in turn will make sure that u understand His words. So despite where u are, God is awesome and in His own way will make the goodnews get to u.....'to the ends of the earth' Acts 1:8. No one has been kept in the dark about God's existence.

Sure, but which god? Buddha? Osiris? Zeus? Obatala?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Op
the answer to your question is as simple as ABC, and I will give you reasons for that.

Does the coming of Christ actually brought anything new? the answer is NO
he came to fulfill that which the prophets before him had already foretold.

Back to your question.
Before the coming of Christ, the Ten commandments already exists and it was given by God through moses. And there are other laws one needed to abide to which are in the old Testament, that can by the Grace of God take you to heaven.

Jesus was sent with the same message the other prophets were sent with ( believing on oneness of God only). Whoever believe in Moses and message of met him on the earth and he did not believe in it is disbeliever and whoever believe in Jesus and the message of Prophet Muhammad met him on earth and such person rejected the message he or she is also among the disbelievers.

I've been thinking, how about those ones in Africa and Nigeria particularly before Islam came?

Whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never would We punish until We sent a messenger. [Qur'an 17:15]

In as far they did not receive the message they will not be punish for it.

For those it may concern, Christ died and went to underworld to elaborate those that did good but we're kept for his coming.. The 3days he stay there was to bring his gospel to those before him here

I can assure that God is a just and fair God. So you don't have to worry about that. Be more concerned about your own salvation first, and the salvation of those around you. Here is a scriptural reference: Genesis 18:25

they av a conscience, how does a small child knows when he does something wrong?

BinDean:
How could they have known b/w right and wrong when they had no guidance whatsoever?

dis one pass Jamaican weed

firstking01:
Simple answer, there was law then, God will judge you based on that law of moses.

But the law of Moses was not in existence all of the time nah. Fossil records show that mankind came out of Africa before spreading to the rest of the world. We know that the concept of the God of Moses started in the Middle East.
So those that existed prior to mans migration there, how and why should they be judged by a God that wasn't created in their time?

Babysheart:
I have been perplexed by this and one other question since I was a kid.

The Bible in Genesis 15:6 when talking about Abraham says "... his faith was counted to him as righteousness". People were holy and righteous and found favour before the earthly birth of Christ... Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Elisha, David etc. These men were judged on parameters such as Faith, Dedication, keeping of the Commandments and more. God rewarded their passion for him and they can be considered righteous.

They didn't need Redemption which is the primary reason we have Christ, because there was nothing to be redeemed in them.

Jesus Christ came so we can find help in our journey to please God again after falling out with Him in Eden. We could have been able to do it on our own like these patriarchs of Faith did, but it would have been very very difficult for us without Grace. So Christ offered Grace, so you won't have to pray 5 times a day. So you won't have to kill rams and cows as burnt offering in your quest to please God. So you won't rub ashes on your body and rent your robes ( tear your blouses and shirts in today's parlance). You don't need all those now.

All you need is to believe in Christ as your only Saviour and live a righteous life. He picks you up when you falter.

What is grace?

FriendChoice:




Your book dont have the answer. And no Christian will give you a correct answer. They will all give you opinions.

The answer is here:

Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. [Qur'an 2:62]

It says Jews before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, before Jesus peace be upon him that certified the following condition will go to Paradise:

1. Believe in One Allah (God Almighty)

2. Believe in the day of Judgment

3. And did righteous

u are too myopic....av e eva read Romans 2:11-16

davidkingrichie:


This dude read too many fantasy novels, stupid texts and bullsh!t books written by blavatsky, crowley and their cohorts.


Everyone who lived before the birth of Jesus will be revived to live for 1000 years. During those years of tribulation, Satan will run the earth..... Basically, they will use their blood to pay the price. That's if they accept Christ tho.

lol prof let's pray god comes up with a better punishment for satan than to gift him a whole planet..lol iz big name.

Christainity is never confusing. Its you that is getting yourself confused. Study to show yourself approve unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.2Tim2:15. Now, to answer the question check out 1 Peter3:18-21. This passage lets us know that Jesus preached to the spirits in prison. These are mysteries a carnal mind cannot comprehend.

That how u find ursef when u failed to dey study ur Bible because ALL is inside.
1 Peter 4:6 "For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit." When Jesus died he went to the land of dead to do the same job he did on earth. This means the gospel is goin on over ther right now.

They were all risen with Christ on that same resurrection day, The death of Christ created an unbalanced system in the underworld.

If u read and study the scriptures u will see it was written about tombs been opened.
Moses, was also in hell, not until when Christ died.

As it was written in the bible that whosoever that do not believe in Jesus Christ won't be saved and will rot in hell. My question here is what will happen to those who never knew Jesus Christ?

OP the answer is this, Since the fall of man, the basis of salvation has always been the death of Christ. No one, either prior to the cross or since the cross, would ever be saved without that one pivotal event in the history of the world. Christ's death paid the penalty for past sins of Old Testament saints and future sins of New Testament saints.

The requirement for salvation has always been faith. The object of one's faith for salvation has always been God. The psalmist wrote, “Blessed are all who take refuge in him” (Psalm 2:12). Genesis 15:6 tells us that Abraham believed God and that was enough for God to credit it to him for righteousness (see also Romans 4:3-. The Old Testament sacrificial system did not take away sin, as Hebrews 10:1-10 clearly teaches. It did, however, point to the day when the Son of God would shed His blood for the sinful human race.

What has changed through the ages is the content of a believer's faith. God's requirement of what must be believed is based on the amount of revelation He has given mankind up to that time. This is called progressive revelation. Adam believed the promise God gave in Genesis 3:15 that the Seed of the woman would conquer Satan. Adam believed Him, demonstrated by the name he gave Eve (v. 20) and the Lord indicated His acceptance immediately by covering them with coats of skin (v. 21). At that point that is all Adam knew, but he believed it.

Abraham believed God according to the promises and new revelation God gave him in Genesis 12 and 15. Prior to Moses, no Scripture was written, but mankind was responsible for what God had revealed. Throughout the Old Testament, believers came to salvation because they believed that God would someday take care of their sin problem. Today, we look back, believing that He has already taken care of our sins on the cross (John 3:16; Hebrews 9:28).

That particular verse of d Bible only refers to those who are cautious of the life and death of Jesus. U c those who died before the presence of Jesus will only make heaven with the works of their hands being either good or evil because in those days they have "judges" who acts as a religious leader to all and tells the people the thoughts of God on any issue. Read the book judges chapter 1 up to chapter 16 then u will have a fill of how things were done before Christ. Later when God got fed up with d way these judges behave he now himself came in form of man "the Christ". Better still read ur Bible and stop seeking for FP on nairaland
