Topic: Hypothetical question... | |
---|---|
A man is born and spends his entire life free from sin, helping and loving others. He doesnt commit even one little sin. Never smokes, drinks, cusses, steals, lusts after another woman, etc... He doesnt even THINK about these things.
He is unaware of any religion, and therefore has no reason to repent or accept Jesus as his savior. Is he going to hell? |

No. I forget what that's called. There is a name for it.
It has to do with salvation for those who have never heard the Word. I'll see if I can find it....... Sorry...I can't find it and I have to scram to lunch!!! Bye for now! |

Ok...let's say he IS aware of Jesus, but has still never commited a single sin. Greatest person to ever walk the Earth besides Jesus himself. BUT...he dies and never accepts Jesus as his savior.
Is he still going to hell? |

Is he still going to hell? Ultimately....only God Himself can answer that question. Not one of us can presume...or assume the salvation of any person. |

AWW a good question one that i came upon the answer to while looking up another question dont blame me for this one if you dont like it blame WIKIPEDIA.. it seems that since Adam and Eve sinned that everyone is born with sin ..i guess that also answered my question to when GOD was asked if there was just one person without sin if he would save soddom and gomorrah and we saw what happened there... the question i was looking for the answer to was if adam and eve only had two sons who did cain marry,and why was he marked since his mother and father were the only two people and they knew what he had done.. the land of nod was the answer given and it seems that adam and eve were the first born not the only ones born..but then it went into there being two gods and one was yahweh..as if i wasnt confused enough... so dont blame me for these answers blame wikipedia... of course i have asked several who claim to know the bible well and i have received different answers ..but then again thats religion for you....good luck... |

I'm still not sure how reliable Wiki is since anybody can post anything on there. I still use it all the time though. But, thanks for the reply tombraider. And I agree. Religion is very confusing to me also. Which is probably why I'm non-religious.

I was just curious because the bible constantly preaches that the ONLY way to salvation is through Jesus. There is NO other way.

I wouldnt let him in if i were God, this guy sounds way too boring. |

Thanks, and the other point is that if he never lusts after women, it means he is gay. But then, You have to ask questions about Jesus as well in that respect. |

Sorry...I can't find it and I have to scram to lunch!!! Bye for now! From what I remember, isn't that purgatory. The step between heaven and hell. Here people can, once dead, earn their way to heaven. Never made sense to me. You can't earn your way when alive, but you can when dead..... |

Separation from God is a awful thing.
