An atheist said.." if theres a God..where do the unsaved dead go..?

Question

An atheist asked me, " if there is a God... then youre saying that all those people that never heard the message of Jesus are in hell now because millions have never even heard of Jesus ". Namely, where did all the jews in the holocast go ? What about the millions around the world that never heard and died ? ". Thats easy. The scriptures say that Jesus intercepts their spirits...and in visions and dreams lets them hear the gospel and make up their minds to accept Him. He also takes some " to the 3rd Heaven " , a place where the spirits of some go in order to " hear words " of Jesus and His Cross...as St. paul did.. Jesus said of some pple..that even though they were dead, they were still in their bodies and " their life " was still in them.".. he then visits them in visions and dreams. Do you think He wouldnt do this ? If you do... that makes Him sadistic, monstrous and uncaring which he isnt..He isnt going to allow anyone to miss Heaven unless they simply want to. see Acts 2..

Answer 1

You need to quote the scriptures you claim say this. They don't exist BTW.

Answer 2

The answer is plain and simple. God only knows. We don't know whether a person heard the gospel or not but I believe that everyone that is capable of hearing has that opportunity and they are not exempt. I believe Acts chapter 2 is not clarifying ur argument. If anything you have confused atheists who has read this question and comments. You need to show references or some source for ur info because if not people will only see you as a false representative of God and his followers.

Answer 3

Where do the unsaved dead go?

They are dead just like the saved dead.

You make the teachings of Christ of no effect by your man-made traditions.

One man-made tradition is "good people go to heaven when they die and bad people go to hell when they die."

Isn't it time we transcended the fables of childhood?

No one has gone to heaven except the Son of man (John 3:13).

And hell?

Where are they?

In their graves!

"Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth, they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation" (John 5:28-29).

The King James "damnation" is from lthe Greek word "krisis", meaning "contesting".

The "contesting" takes place in a second physical life after the 1000 years. The vast majority of mankind is not being called now.

Some of the ones who are "contesting" in the future will still not repent. And they will cease to exist. The words "you only live twice" will be only too true for them.

Answer 4

I'm afraid thats really unbiblical, please tell direct me to the scriptures where Jesus visits people in dreams.

And no, NOBODY is in Hell at this very time. This is Greek mythology which was kept by Rome, and kept by Papal Rome. Death is described in the Bible as sleep. Then when Jesus comes he will raise everyone up, taking the good ones to Heaven, and the bad ones will be destroyed (not suffer eternal fire, but eternal damnation, aka - eternal destruction with no hope of returning)

look up the words dead, death, died, sleep, in a concordance, or software which allows you to search words in the Bible. I also advise you use the KJV.

Answer 5

How did the people in the old testament know about God? We all know about God. We're born knowing. I would like to read the scriptures you are referring to, it would give me an answer to a question I asked as a child and never found a satisfactory answer to.

Answer 6

A friend of mine tried to prove to me there was no santa clause. He said "How does santa go down the chimney if there is a fire in it?" .... "Thats easy" I said, "Santa has a fire resistent suit on".
He then said, "OK.... how does he get the presents to the children in the world in only 24 hours?" . I replied "Thats easy, Santa is timeless!".
The point Im trying to make here is , If you believe in something, you will have an answer to everything, no matter how ridiculous your position is.

Come out of the dark, step into the light! Become an atheist.

Answer 7

I think you have a gross misunderstanding of both scripture and "the unsaved dead" as you call them. I firmly believe there more ways to "accept Christ", than to read about him in scripture or hear his Word preached. God wrote his law in our hearts... what we would commonly refer to as conscience... this was the covenant by which people before Christ were "saved". I believe that devout followers of the plan of God will go to heaven whether they "accept Christ" by your defination or not.

Answer 8

Why do you all have to make up or believe such fantastic stories and tales? Jesus is no better than Krishna or Rama or Buddha or anyone else. Lying is an abomination and the first evil.

Answer 10

If you are going to say Jesus said something, please provide book, chapter and verse, otherwise I tend to think you are making it up. We have one chance here, on earth, to receive or reject Christ, that's it.
Heb 9:27 And as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this, Judgment;

There is nothing in Acts 2 to support your assertions.

Again - these are added parts of stories to the myth - since the church didn't have answers to people !
