Just restatement of previous points james. You indicate whole people groups, scripture/ Christianity refers to individuals. The rest of you bleat has been dealt with.
This where it started, when I asked Betty Boop:
1. What is the mode of salvation for, say the stillborn infant, of a member of a tribe that has not yet heard of your religion? Is it damned?
2. What is the mode of salvation for those born mentally deficient? Are they damned?
3. As we know now, mammalian cloning is a reality. If you were cloned with a muscle cell of yours, and brought to life through the application of known science, would this clone have a soul? What is its mode of salvation? How would it affect your very own?
