Good Question....As you know God sent down his son who was w/out sin to be crucified for the sins of all. See, when God created man and woman (adam & eve) they were pure. God walked among us. But, when instructed them not to take a bite of the forbidden fruit and they did, God rejected them. For years God could not have any relationship w/mankind. And since according to the Bible, we are all sinners because we cary the genes of Adam and Eve. That is why baptism was created to wash away our sins. God wanted to be connected again w/his children but the only way was to send down his son who was w/out sin to be crucified for our sins. Once he was crucified, the people before Christ were forgiven as well.

I discovered that all religious teachings, ideolologies, dogmas and any other schools of thought existed and existing till today are wrong, or need modification.
So I am herewith founding a new religion which worships the real God, and only which will take the humanity to the real God.
Alas ! I weep for everyone who died before I founded the True Religion !

I am no Christian. I love Jesus's teachings. His teaching of love and compassion are unique and have no parallel. I do not want to hurt any ones feelings. However I feel there is no scientific evidence on imaginary Hell and Heaven created by Human mind. To my mind Heaven and Hell are right here on Earth. Better to perform good acts while one is here and enjoy all that needs to be enjoyed. We do not know what happens to a man who dies. One thing is most certain. Death will come one day. What happens later are all conjectures and mind's imaginations. None of these concepts have any verifiable truth in them.

After Jesus was crucified and dead He went down to preach the souls who had died before Him. Then the third day He came to life. I have heard in a meeting and I want you to search for it. And I am also going to find about the verses.

They lose. Thats the way the spiritual lottery goes, you know what a stickler god is about worshiping him in a highly proscribed manner, that he was never clear about to begin with. Guess right and you are OK, guess wrong and it's the lake of eternal fire. I don't make up the rules, I just rub them in your face so you will be saved like people like me.

I would imagine their all in Heaven - even the dinosaurs. You have to remember GOD was here long before Jesus so I'm sure there's a special place for all that were here and died before Jesus. (I hope so anyway)

Before Christ, it was the Law given to Moses, in the form of Torah. People who followed Him, will go to heaven, others will burn in Hell
