What happens after death?

What about the millions of people who lived during and after the time of Christ, who never knew he existed due to geographical location? Seems rather arbitrary and unfair to condemn people for that.

Great question; and how about people who existed before Christ's earthly birth?

How were people who lived before the time of Christ saved?

I know some persoly that will not be there, they were atheists.

Unless you’re pecked to death by chickens. That takes a LOT longer and is not nearly as peaceful. ;)

I will be honest. I have no answer for that. : )

Life is eternal. We release our bodies as we move into what’s next.

[Secret Agent Man]

Finally men are vindicated, we dont always think about sex.

[corlorde]

I like that, thanks.

I will hope and pray that I go gently into that night. It’s probably NOT going to happen that way, but what you described is an optimal outcome. :)

Feel that way too at times. But then I am reminded that He tells us to “fear not, for I am with you...” And then I like to focus on the parade of loved ones who hopefully will be there to greet me!

[Secret Agent Man]

God wont let anyone slip away that is His.

God bless us.

The cycle of life, we start dying as soon as we are born. Like all living things we all have an expiration date. Whether its a rehearsal for another life or not, we are all going to die. There are many “beliefs” pertaining to some kind of a spiritual world after life ends. Its always been a question, what next? I wish I had an answer, but no one from the next life has ever contacted me. We only have the text of one book where after Millions of years or even 10,000 has only one person ever returning to discuss the trip. What is heaven like, a bunch of people playing harps on the clouds would drive me nuts. Maybe we all become walking spirits, or better yet a power force with a memory being release into the universe to seek the ones who entered earlier. To be able to thought speak to those who came before us.(good or bad) To me that would be the after life, no heaven or hell, just a total spirit world with a lot discussion on how things coulda, woulda, shoulda have been over the years of human existence. I might have a problem, because I don’t think there is a common language, and my ancestors were from different countries with different languages. A rebirth may be possible too, like coming back as a rabbit on a golf course. ??? Whatever fate awaits us, don’t expect a call or a postcard.

Every religion believes that they have the one and only route to eternal happiness...Christians certainly do, but so do muslims, Hindus, Buddhists,Mormans, and all others

"What about the millions of people who lived during and after the time of Christ, who never knew he existed due to geographical location? Seems rather arbitrary and unfair to ondemn people for that."

That has always bothered me.

John 3:36 requires “obedience!”

[jennings2004]

Not a problem: Revelation 21:1-7!

Fortunately, it's quite rare.
