Where will the people who lived before Christ came go to?
Hell or heaven

Or our ancestors that lived in Africa before Christianity came where will they go?

They said Christ is the only way and these people didn't know Christ. So where did they go?

Did the millions of people who lived before Christ came all go to hell?

You shouldn't have gone too far by asking where will our ancestors go to rather ask where will the other people practicing other religions go to. A lot of religion are scattered around and they all belief theirs is the only true way so what will happen to the other supposed "wrong belief's "

Just last week a pastor asked all the youths in his church to fast,pray and must also be indoors for a day because he "saw something bad" happening to the youths of this country and I ask myself what happens to the almost 100million youths left in this country that aren't his members? Does that mean it's only the barely over 100 youths in his congregation that will be saved while the rest face the "something bad" he foresaw

Going by the bible... paul said its not the hearers or belivers of the word that is righteous but those that obey or the doers...same thing jesus said...that it is those that obey my words that truly love me and will be justified....

So it doesnt really matter weda you heard the words of righteousness from jesus or from noah or Daniel or jonah, ..whoever God sent during your time or dispensation....did you obey....??

No one knows where they'll go, because no one knows what happens after death.

Every religion and culture had their own concept of what happens after you die. None of which have been proven.

So to put it simply, people who died before Jesus came, have as much chance of entering into heaven, as they do of entering into Valhalla.. or wonderland

They’ll be judged according to their works.

Revelation 20 v 11-15
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.
13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAD DONE.
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.
15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.


GOD IS NOT A RELIGIOUS BIGOT

Mankind have always had conscience and intuition to guide them along the basics of what’s right or wrong. No one is without excuse.
It’s not a function of religion, it’s about knowing and obeying THE TRUTH.

Truth has allegiance to no religion. Know this and know peace.
Re: If Heaven And Hell Is Real. What Of The People That Lived Before Christ Came? by OkCornel(m): 10:44am On Aug 31, 2022
Romans 2 v 13-15 speaks of conscience (not religion) as a guiding light to TRUTH;

13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those WHO OBEY THE LAW who will be declared righteous.

14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.

15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)

Proverbs 20 v 27 shows intuition as a guiding light to TRUTH;

The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.


Note: It says “the spirit of man” not the spirit of a Christian or Judaiser or Muslim or Agnostic.

Wake up, smell the coffee and see the bigger picture.

Truth is pure, religion is fraud…know the difference.

The truth sets you free, but religion enslaves.

Know this and know peace.

We know! Samuel, Jarius daughter, Lazarus all were woken up from "Sleeping."

All who are dead, sleep except special cases like those in the world in Noah's days.

Which is why till the end of the world, there would always be talk of ghosts and appearances of people who died like the one recently reported here in nairaland.

3. They said Christ is the only way and these people didn't know Christ. So where did they go?

4. Did the millions of people who lived before Christ came all go to hell?
1. They do not go anywhere because all those who were before Jesus Christ, those who were unbelievers, simply ceased to exist when they died, this has been the case from the beginning since Adam for all unbelievers. ..from dust you were made and to dust you shall return.... Genesis 3 vs 19 undecided

2. Your ancestors who didn't believe in Jesus Christ simply returned to dust after they died... Genesis 3 vs 19 undecided

3. Jesus Christ is the only way to get back to God - JOhn 14 vs 6. But those who do not wish to have anything to do with God are simply recycled back into the dust from which they were created - Genesis 3 vs 19 undecided

4. Only those who are born-again can enter into the Kingdom of God where Heaven(Narrow Gate) and Hell(Broad Gate) are options in - John 3 vs 5 - 8 and Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14. All other people are simply returned back to the dust from which they were made - Genesis 3 vs 19. So the answer to your question is NO. undecided

By the way, there are currently no humans in Heaven or in Hell since admission begins only after Jesus Christ returns and judges those who entered into the Kingdom of God while on earth, the born-agains- Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 undecided

1. He asked a valid question for which the answer has been available since the time of Adam where God decreed that all those who die separated from Him - unbelievers will simply cease to exist when they die - from dust they were made and to dust they shall be return - Genesis 3 vs 19. undecided

As for where those who are of other religions will go, that is a no brainer, since Jesus Christ is said to be the only way to return back to God. So, all those who do not believe in The Way, Jesus Christ, regardless of their religion, are simply recycled back to the dust from which they were made, just as God decreed beginning with Adam - Genesis 3 vs 19 undecided

2. Your worship of the delusions of your pastors and mogs is your own personal ignorance and has absolutely nothing to do with that decreed by God of how to return back to Him. Jesus Christ, God's way, clearly indicated that only those who live their lives in continuous submission to His teachings and commandments, not to be confused with the doctrines and traditions of your pastors and mogs, will be saved. So, from the start, this was never a game of numbers for God who is instead interested in only those who will submit to and Obey His Way. undecided

Heaven and Hell are both in the Kingdom of God, and the only way to enter into the Kingdom of God is by believing in Jesus Christ. So those who don't believe in Jesus Christ have no change in Heaven or in Hell. undecided

Your conclusion is wrong! undecided

The Way that is Jesus Christ only became available when Jesus Christ came and died on the cross. Those who heard from Noah, Daniel, Jonah, never heard Jesus Christ, nor did they have access to the Kingdom of God before Jesus Christ. I suggest you spend the bulk of your time reading through the actual teachings of Jesus Christ in the Gospels to in fact learn the Truth of God rather than the fables you hold on to there. undecided

Even the gates of the Kingdom of God were not thrown open to mankind until after Jesus Christ's blood was shed on the cross.. not before. For this reason, Jesus Christ's message when He first arrived on the scene was that the Kingdom of God was near, and it wasn't until after His Death that the Kingdom was thrown open to all those in the world who would desire to entire into God's own Kingdom, return to the Father. undecided

Revelations 20 has absolutely nothing to do with the unbelivers who were before Jesus Christ. Instead, those whose works will be judged are those who Jesus Christ explained will be judged in Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46, the sheep and goats in the Kingdom of God. undecided

There is only one judgment day to come, and that day is meant for those who are of the Kingdom of God - those who either entered through the Broad gate or those who entered through the Narrow Gate.

u are always looking for opportunity to invalidate peoples opinions which makes u miss context... i never mentioned that those before jesus had access to the kingdom...i dont know how or why u brought this up

Please..without sounding condescending and obnoxious... what false did i hold on to as u claimed?? Can u point out what false about what i said.? Without adding extra like when the kingdom became open

The op is asking : if jesus is the way to the kingdom...how will those before him enter since they never had the chance to hear or believe or obey jesus ....whther the kingdom open 5000 years ago or after Jesus' death

Study Revelation 20. The Great white throne judgment is for the second resurrection. It does not involve believers. Everyone will be judged according to their works in the great white throne judgment.
