/----/ I'm Catholic and grew up in the Bible Belt. The question I asked my fundamentalist friends was, what happened to all the billions of souls who lived and died before Christ's time?I agree about many who call themselves Christian.. But if you are a faithful Christian, going by the book, Jews believe in Jesus, but he was an ordinary human. A Jew but not the mesiah. but don't think he is the son of God or a mesiah..
only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior. This concept, known as exclusive salvation, is rooted in the belief that Jesus' death and resurrection paid for humanity's sins
I never get a straight answer, just some wavering. One said they all went straight to Hell.
