Is it a sin to live and die without ever having even heard of Christ?

Answer 1

It's not a sin, but if you seriously never heard a single word of Christ, very unlikely. Then you would be condemned if your parents are condemned, unless you come to Christ by your own will.

Deuteronomy 5
9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 10 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

It would be impossible for anyone who called themselves a Christian and have a kid who never heard of Christ, that would mean they aren't true Christians.

Matthew 28
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The only exception would be a jungle boy like Tarzan, which like written earlier would be condemned or saved based on their parents faith.

Answer 2

The sins committed during one's lifetime are "paid for" with one's own death. That is what allows even the unrighteous to be resurrected to the restored paradise earth (after Armageddon).

Sadly, the potential for sin remains within imperfect mankind until each resurrected one eventually attains perfection (thus REALLY 'coming to life') by increasingly applying Christ's ransom sacrifice to his personality. For some, that will take a thousand years!

(Romans 6:23) For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

(Revelation 20:5) The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.

Answer 3

No, millions of people who have lived and died on this earth has not heard about Christ. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for this type of people. It is very comforting to know that death is not the end. That we lived with God before we came to this earth and we will return to live with him again. And that we will all be resurrected with our own families and be a family in heaven.

Answer 4

No.
As Latterday Saints teach, you will receive an opportunity to hear the full Gospel of Christ in the Afterfife, if you jave not had such an opportunity on earth.

your baptism will be eventually performed here in sacred places called Temples of God.

When you are dead yopu will have the right to accept or reject that baptism on your behalf.

This is why Mormons [LDS] are thick into genealosy and temple work.
There is an extraordinary aqmount of work to be done

Answer 5

We all know what is righteous and what is evil, we all sin. So those that have not found Christ still sadly go to Hell, because they are sinners. That is why we that know the truth of Jesus must spread the message.

Answer 6

No. Sins are purely human constructs designed by the early church leaders to control the masses through fear-based living.

Answer 7

No, but it's a sin to believe his father sent him to die on a cross for sins.

Answer 8

i don't think so, but i doubt it's even possible to have lived your whole life without hearing about christ somewhere along the line...

Answer 9

No...but I don't know if is for Ala or Maome...I don't think that some of them will like of one of their chosen ones die without its knowledge.

Answer 10

Nope.
