Jesus died for our sins, right? What about the sins of those who lived before Jesus was born? Are they saved?

Answer 1

Jesus didn't die for anyone's sins. He was against primitive animal sacrifices and bloodthirsty gods, and challenged the religious establishment at every opportunity. He was a spiritual leader, not a human sacrifice.

Answer 2

You do have a point , but the Bible says that Jesus died for all of us . and God Jehovah's judgment day is now to come so , he will ( Jesus sacrifice will help those i think) from what i have learned in my study of the Bible i who'd say that is what the ransom will do . so if they had the right heart condition there sins will be forgiven to .

Answer 3

He is called "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world". Therefore, while he may have only died 2000 years ago, the sacrifice is eternal and applied from the very beginning. No one gets to the Father but by his sacrifice - Noah, Abraham, King David, or whomever.

Answer 4

I wanted to know the answer to this question for a LONG time but i found part of it on the history channel. So everybody before Christ, you know sinners and everybody else all went to the same place, forgot what it was called sadly (was the main point of the question) so when jesus ascended he allowed good souls to come into the presence of god.

Answer 5

To answer your first question, YES, Jesus died for our sins. As for those who lived before Him, they did sin. Take Adam and Eve for example. Eve ate from the Garden of Eden after God told her not to, then Adam followed. Remember, before God, there was nothing. He created everything. However, I cannot answer your third question, as it leaves me in aw as well. I will talk to my pastor and try to repost an answer. Thank you for raising that concern, it's very interesting.

Answer 6

Jesus died because he was murdered, end of story.

My mom says if you're going to be a liar, then you'd better have a good memory.

Those who wrote the Bible, had really bad memories.

Answer 7

you missed the point. yes God let his only son Jesus to die to wipe our sins.but unless you have not ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus as your personal savior and Lord you are still unsaved..Jesus says, "i am the way, the truth and the light. no one comes to my Father except through me."..SO, are you sure of your salvation?..about those who died before Jesus was born. those who loved God with all their hearts, with all their minds, with all their souls, and with all their strengths,though naturally sinners they were saved...for if you love god, you believe in Him, you will obey all his commandments to avoid committing sins.. while those who did not loved God totally, they are definitely in hell!..so if you are wise, read the bible and inquire your faith..

Answer 8

Hi,

I believe that each person in this world is responsible for his/her own sins and that God (who Christian's call the Father) ultimately has the wisdom of who will be forgiven. As far as your question goes, God has sent thousands of messengers throughout the history of Mankind as guides, Jesus (peace be with him) among them. If the people who they were sent to listened to and obeyed God he promised to forgive them and grant them paradise. But as I said before, ultimately it is in God's hands to forgive whom he wills.

Take Care

Answer 9

only jesus christ & god knows the answer to this question.
they may be saved, & some may not.
we all have a choice in life to make. hopefully they repented, asked god/jesus for forgiveness before they died.
i hope they made it into heaven. hell's the last place anyone should, would or want to go.

Answer 10

I believe in the contract he died for all sin caused by man; past, present, and future.
