Quick question to christians

Tsukiban · 04-03-2008, 07:19 PM

What happened to the people that lived before the birth of jesus and moses and all that? I'm assuming they were all sexual sinful beasts so does that mean all those people are basically doomed to hell from the start?

They all ran to the hills to prevent being raped and pillaged of their goods.

There weren't such things as sin, no knowledge of what was good or bad.

Wow lawls. Your really ignorant if you believe that seriously.
What about hindu's? Or Eqyptions etc. They all had conceptions of good or evil and Heaven and hell?

Glenn · 04-04-2008, 01:32 PM

Believe? I am just quoting from what I've heard. Besides, I stopped going church a long time ago, so I'm not really into this stuff in believing anymore.

The Old T.

They had to obey the law God set down for them.

But they could go to Heaven.. as long as they obeyed Gods law.

Mmkay, here's an old quote I remember from Jesus from back when I went to crappy Sunday school classes.... It's something along the lines of "If there is a corn field to my left, and a wheat field to my right, I cannot go to the corn field and demand wheat of the corn workers, and I cannot go to the wheat field and demand corn of the wheat workers".
Basically, this means that one cannot be blamed for their actions if it's all they know, and it's all they've ever believed in. If you truly think it's alright to go around on your merry way humping every person in your sight, then by all means, go right ahead, if you truly believe it to not be sinful, then you're good to go.
So, even if all those people were sinful and whatnot, it wouldn't really matter, as it was before the laws of God were laid down, they didn't really "know" per se what this so called God wanted of them, and just lived their lives according to their own ideologies and beliefs, thus making it alright, so long as they still believed they were good people, and were not purposely doing things that they personally believed to be wrong. Or so I've been taught, anyhow.

The majority opinon is whats to say. People teach mythology and such as only myths now. Very few still pratice it, thought not to say there isn't any that don't. Its what you believe him.

slingblader · 04-04-2008, 06:28 PM

So why did God opt not to come to these people exactly?

Sin666 · 04-04-2008, 08:40 PM

Eh, who knows, it's God. My mind probably can't conceive the kind of logic that God functions on. Ask a good priest, they're the only ones who can give you straight answers, not the crappy ones who just make circle-arguments and never give you a straight answer, as do the majority of Christians, since the majority of them know so little about their own faith they're incompetent at defending it.

Actually, before Jesus, Jews would sacrifice a newborn baby lamb on an alter as repentance for their sins, they would then be forgiven. Where do you think the term "the Lamb of God" came from? It's symbolic of Jesus, who was the final sacrifice, for all of us.
