What ever happened to all the people who died Before Abraham came on the scene (and I mean all?

Question

the people before Abraham, that are not in the bible) which did live all over the earth, outside of Isreal ? All over the World !!

They never heard of the One God of the
Desert, the God of the Jews, Christians, and The Muslims (The God of Abraham).

Those in the old testament before Jesus came went to a waiting paradise place, until Jesus shared himself, the gospel with them,
"but those who Never heard of the God of the Desert - what happened to them ?

Where did God send them ?

Read my entire questions with all the details
again, Please. "Then answer with wisdom, According to/with Scriptures !!!"

Thanks.

Take your time, and please do not

answer without putting much thought

into it, as well as using scriptural

proof. Thxs. Again.

I read the 5 answers which there have been so far.

Am not talking about cavemen, etc.

During the time of Adam and Eve, to Abraham, Moses, Joseph, David,
to Zephania, etc. did they "AS WELL
AS EVERYBODY ELSE ON PLANET EARTH AT THAT TIME, WHO 'NEVER' HEARD OF THE ONE GOD OF THE DESERT, AND OF JESUS, AS WELL, GO TO THIS
HELL/PARADISE, TO AWAIT FOR JESUS TO COME AND PREACH
HIMSELF ?

THE EMPHASIS IS REALLY PLACED ON "ALL" OF THOSE WHO
NEVER HEARD OF THE ONE GOD OF THE DESERT, WHICH ABRAHAM SPOKE OF, CHRISTIANS WOULD CALL HIM JESUS, AND JEWS WOULD CALL HIM= YHWH.

Hopefully this has been clarified.

Thanks, please be much more detailed, with Scriptural Sources, especially from the Old Testament,
Abraham'/Moses' Scriptures they
used. I am already familiar with the couple of N.T. verses used to support
this teaching.
Thank You very much.

Answer 1

I don't know what you are trying to prove with this question but if I read it correctly I believe you are wondering if all these people are in hell.The Bible tells us when Jesus was crucified and in the tomb, he went to hades and taught all people the truth and many believed and were saved. If you are trying to split hairs you will believe Jesus taught only to the time of Noah. All people before Noah were judged by God through the flood. All people who ever walk on this earth will have the chance to accept Jesus as their savior. The Bible tells us during the thousand year reign Jesus will teach all people the truth. Then the devil will be loosed for a short time to tempt just as we have a tempter. Don't read too much into this answer all will have the same chance if you were taught the truth in this life time you will not get a second chance. God is fair and all people will have the same chance to believe.

Answer 2

The God of Love has made his undeserved kindness known by stating that all of dead mankind born to Adam & Eve that weren't under the law-covenant (Ancient Israel) or under the law of faith (Christians) will be resurrected depending upon them being judged according to the acts they did during their lives by their own consciences.

Therefore the Bible states that unrighteous and righteous will be resurrected, and that is why there is mention of the resurrection of judgment.

Those who belong to the above mentioned group will be resurrected if their consciences give a positive judgment. They will then be given the chance to become God's earthly children if they become God's children. This is the resurrection of Judgment and those who do not repent will be eternally destroyed .

Answer 3

There were many people thoughout the earth that the angles were aware of as being worshippers of God.An example of this was when Elijah the prophet was feeling lonely as a worshipper of God and he questioned it openly to the Creator and was reminded that there were (7 thousand) people besides himself who were true worshippers of the one true God.1;Kings ;19:18- These that died were the ones spoken of as waiting according to a promise of a Resurrection to better things.

Answer 4

Since the fall of man, the basis of salvation has always been the death of Christ. No one, either prior to the cross or since the cross, would ever be saved without that one pivotal event in the history of the world. Christ's death paid the penalty for past sins of Old Testament saints and future sins of New Testament saints.
The requirement for salvation has always been faith. The object of one's faith for salvation has always been God. The psalmist wrote, "Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him" (Psalm 2:12). Genesis 15:6 tells us that Abraham believed God and that was enough for God to account it to him for righteousness (see also Romans 4:3-8). The Old Testament sacrificial system did not take away sin, as Hebrews 9:1-10:4 clearly teaches. It did, however, point to the day when the Son of God would shed His blood for the sinful human race.
What has changed through the ages is the content of a believer's faith. God's requirement of what must be believed is based on the amount of revelation He has given mankind up to that time. This is called progressive revelation. Adam believed the promise God gave in Genesis 3:15 that the Seed of the woman would conquer Satan. Adam believed Him, demonstrated by the name he gave Eve (v.20) and the Lord indicated His acceptance immediately by covering them with coats of skin (v.21). At that point that is all Adam knew, but he believed it.
Abraham believed God according to the promises and new revelation God gave him in Genesis 12 and 15. Prior to Moses, no Scripture was written, but mankind was responsible for what God had revealed. Throughout the Old Testament, believers came to salvation because they believed that God would someday take care of their sin problem. Today, we look back, believing that He has already taken care of our sins on Calvary (John 3:16; Hebrews 9:28).
What about believers in Christ's day, prior to the cross and resurrection, what did they believe? Did they understand the full picture of Christ dying on a cross for their sins? Late in his ministry, "Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day" (Matthew 16:21). What was the reaction of His disciples to this message? "Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, '‘Far be it from you, Lord; this shall not happen to you!'" (16:22). Peter, and the other disciples, did not know the full truth, yet they were saved because they believed that God would take care of their sin problem. They didn't exactly know how He would accomplish that, any more than Adam, Abraham, Moses, or David knew how, but they believed God.
Today, we have more revelation than did people living before the resurrection of Christ, we know the full picture. "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son" (Hebrews 1:1-2). Our salvation is still based on the death of Christ, our faith is still the requirement for salvation, and the object of our faith is still God. Today for us the content of our faith is that Christ died for our sins, that He was buried, and that He rose the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

Answer 5

I don't have my bible, but if anybody dies with out hearing the gospel or accepting Christ in their heart then they go to hell.

I say this from a conversation about this exact thing with my pastor. This is what he said.

"If someone dies without the gospel and goes to Heaven then we don't need it."

Put it this way, if someone is saved and then I come and tell you about Christ, then you deny Him and end up damned when you were saved in the first place, what good did it do?

See the point.
Christ commands us to spread His gospel throughout all the world, and that is why, No one will go to Heaven who hasnt' accepted Christ, and no one can accept Christ if they've never heard of Him.

I hope this is understandable, it was a booger to write.
