blood circulation problems?
thoughts are influenced by blood flow to the brain. what if a 90 year old life long christian suffered a strole, and dimentia and started thinking about burning down a whole country with all its people through no fault of their own, beacuse of mere images they had seen on tv 20 years previously
would they be condemned to an eternity of burning due to thoughts that were brought on by a biological nervous system?

I'm not Christian but I saw one in a movie one time so I think I can answer this one. I think that at the time the Bible was being composed there was little knowledge of how the human cardiovascular system worked, hence the omission of any mention of it. There may be loose references to the heart, but they are not in the sense of it being a pump, or even a muscle. I'm betting any serious answer on the behalf of someone more knowledgeable than I about Christianity would have to include a mention of the unscrutinable nature of the holy book and its metaphoric prose. Indubitably, it has to do with the persons life before his condition rendered him incapable of rational thought. ehhh hufhufhufhufhu

I don't believe so. That is a result of the dying process which we are doomed to as a result of original sin. God sent Jesus to die for that sin, and if this 90-year old person was a Christian - this was part of the decay of his body ( the dying process) and out of his/her control. No, God is more gracious and forgiving than that, especially if his/her life was spent trusting Christ for salvation and living for God's glory.

A Chrisitan cannot be condemned to hell no matter what he/she may do. A Christian is under the protection of the blood of Jesus for all eternity. Jesus loves you.

What people do will be judged by what they know, (well thats my belif)
so if a man who has never heard of the bible kills a man his judgement will be easier than if a christian killed a man.
and man suffers mental health problems and does somthing sinful, he is not in control of what he thinks, hes doesnt Really know what he is doing so he will not be judged as someone doing somthing he knows is wrong.
God is fair, well i belive he is.

come on- the elderly return to an infant like state of mind at times.
Babies don't know any better, so they are not accountable. Besides, Christians don't go to Hell. Either you are saved or unsaved.

I am sure a good Christian will come up with an explanation / argument to that ... but as far as I am concerned .. your brain tells you what to do.

Absolutely not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and this is a christian speaking. Do you think God stops loving his children because they become sick, he loves them even more. He will someday hold that precious soul in the palm of his hand and wipe all tears from their eyes.

Your hypothetical scenario has no basis in reality.
Why don't you cite a genuine situation?
Because there really aren't any that would pose a dilemna?
