For 10s of thousands of years, generation after generation of Native Americans lived and died without ever knowing of the Jesus myth. How were they forgiven for their sins?

Bungyer,
That is a drastically new one for me. Thanks for sharing.
He was trying to roll his stone and save the New World at the same time. He must be a god.

Regardless of your views of Christianity, the whole point so many people are missing is to be a good person, to treat others the way they want to be treated. Everything else is just there to support it. It's not the story, it's the meaning.

Those people live in socialism. The hunters bring in the food and ALL get to eat. The basket makers make the baskets and ALL get to have a basket. They live together as a group, working towards the common good and nobody uses their greed and power to rise above anybody else. I think that is how we are supposed to be. The Dead Sea Scrolls , in the tales of the Patriarchs says that the fallen angels taught men to make coins from gold. There is no page in the bible that shows God telling man to come with a form of currency to use against each other, so that we can keep track of how much somebody owes us. That concept is of the devil. The strong should do the hard work, the weak the easy work and the old should just sit around and teach the children about how society works. The tribals have a far superioir system to what we live in

In the second resurrection, all will be raised, some to everlasting life on earth, others to judgment. It is what is found in their hearts that makes the difference. As for going to heaven, only those reborn of the holy spirit go to heaven, and not even the men who were hung on the branchless trees beside Jesus were reborn. The Holy Spirit was not poured out until some time later.

they have found tribes deep in the far Way places never reached by man from the outside world and it was found that they knew of the great spirit and his son, so the answer is that the ancient spirit of God can get his message across with out man. To the ones who died before Christ , he went to preach to them the 3-days he was in the tomb before the resurrection, the bible says
"He Descended" to the lower regions, hell and Abraham's bosom a place they used to hold the dead before Christ!

God gives everyone sufficient grace to be saved no matter what.
If they are not it's their fault, and no one knows who does or does not.
This is defined teaching of the Catholic Church.

They weren't but since they are all now dead and there isn't any afterlife it is of no consequence.
