There is a hint in the bible. Enoch didn't meet Jesus but I was taken. Abraham didn't meet Christ but he wasn't in torment.Will those who have never heared the Gosple be condemned? Will God judge them by their works? Will He judge them by what they do comprehend about the divine? Will they be given a chance to accept Jesus after death? The honest truth is that I don't know. I have searched the scriptures and not been able to find a conclusive answer.
I hope that someone else who is more learned in Theology can provide some insights.
Enoch and Abraham were believing Jews under the Old Covenant. I am not sure that this method of salvation applies to people today.There is a hint in the bible. Enoch didn't meet Jesus but I was taken. Abraham didn't meet Christ but he wasn't in torment.
Perhaps our theology is flawed?
Please provide the scripture if you can find it 😀I think in revelation it said they will suffer a little while
I don't think so.I think in revelation it said they will suffer a little while
Better not to dismiss any school thought after all that is what theology is all about.This cartoon reveals the illustrators lack of Biblical understanding. Why respond?
Interesting submission. Thanks.God's judgement is not like man's judgement. The bible gave us some insight into how it will look like, just like in the case of "THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS". Enoch and Abraham didn't know Jesus but was described as righteous. Remember, that when Jesus resurrected from the dead the graves of these men of faith opened and their spirits where found among living being. This will refer me back to Lazarus and the rich man. Lazarus was in Abraham's bossom. My question now is where was that bossom? In Sheol or paradise?.
This is still a great mystery to me but one thing I understand is everything will be assembled in Christ. As the scripture says " He who has the son hath life he who doesn't have the son hath not life". In Christ is eternal life.
I will go no further here.
This is really awesome and insightful, thanksJesus Christ, the savior, is not just one name in one place. It is many names, in many places. All across the world people worship the cross and the Christ, Crystal, Krsna, Or Chrism. This story exists in all of humanity in every nation with every being on earth and the message is to BE Fair. To step out of selfishness in harming another and to love and uplift those with equality. The story is to step out of carnal nature into ascended "heavenly" righteous nature. Most times to do this there needs to be a cleansing of carnal and unjust groups, just like when the immune system battles the sickness and throws it out, so must this happen in our physical and spiritual worlds.
So, No one can ever grow up and say they have not heard of Christ because Christ just is. It is a fundamental part of growing up, being aware, conscious and responsible. If we read Lord of the Flies or watch The Blue Lagoon, we see christ is there too. Christ is not a man, woman, or a cross shape pendant. Christ is in the soul of our being. The cross roads from a selfish animal to a generous supportive child of Divine.
