What is the official stance on people born before Jesus? [Spirituality & Religion]

@SteveHamm

Why not?

It wouldn't be just.

@SteveHamm:

Well i don't think kids starving to death while we throw out 40% of the food we buy is particularly just either. Nor is punishing women with the pain of childbirth for the sin eve committed at the start of humanity.

But you have to accept jesus as the son of god and personal savior to go to heaven.
How does that work for people who never heard of him?

Or do they get a free pass?
That doesn't seem just to the rest of us either

If the person has no choice they won't get punished for not believing in Jesus. Any other interpretation is faulty on its face.

@SteveHamm:

But all women get punished with the pain of childbirth and they have no choice about what eve did.
All of humanity suffers the punishment that adam and eve brought upon themselves. No choice there.

How would you explain that fact using your logic?

1) Pain in childbirth isn't punishment. 2) Original sin is bullcrap.

Yes.
It is. Genesis 3:16

It may please you to think so but it is canon

@UnparalleledMonster: I'm not religious. The bible has no authority to me. And many Christian churches don't agree with your interpretation anyeay. Not sure what your point is. U can pm me if u like as I'm not following the thread any more
