Okay so what about BEFORE Jesus....

before anyone knew he existed (b/c he wasn't born yet, assuming he really did exist of course)

so all these people before Christianity are in Hell now because they didn't accept Jesus?

I mean, if he wasn't even around yet.....that doesn't make any sense. Not to mention he wasn't even around for when Christianity was invented (already dead) therefore, wouldn't his mom be in hell too? B/c i doubt she accepted him as a God or whatever.

Yes you are right people who died before and After christ are dead no more than that.
Romans 6:23 "For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord."

Ok but they if they are found righteous or unrighteous, then the bible says:

Acts 24:15 "and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

If they are found evil then the bible says in
Psalms 37:9-10 "For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. "

but no torture in a placed of flames it is figurative according to Revelation 20:14 " And death and Ha´des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire"

dead and second dead are the same condition according to Eclessiastes 9:4 "For as respects whoever is joined to all the living there exists confidence, because a live dog is better off than a dead lion. 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun."

the differences is the second death is eternal you can´t be resurrected from the first dead you can be.

the lake of fire is eternal but that doesn´t mean you are eternally in the lake of fire suffering, as soon as you throw a piece of paper into the fire the fire destroy the paper and no more paper forever, exactly the same with evil they stopped their existence forever that is more lovely to suggest that god use his power to torture for 1 billion years hundreds of million of people.

What do you think?

There was the OLD Testatment befor the NEW Testament did away with the Old Testament.
Testament means Contract.
GOD makes Contracts with Mankind.

You don't have to have a Bible to get Saved.
The Holy Spirit has been here a long Time.
The Indians called the Holy Spirit the "Great Spirit".

Of course Yeshua really exsisted. Your question is kinda botchy...
The people before He came followed the Laws of the Torah.
Christianity didn't exsist when Yeshua was on earth, because He is Jewish.
The early "Christians" were Jewish.
His mother isn't in Hell either, She was chosen by G-d. Why would G-d forsake her?
Maybe you should speak to a religious conselor. She/He could probably answer your questions.
I believe questions are good, it means G-d is asking you to seek.

Read the Old Teatament in the KING JAMES VERSION BIBLE Then read the New Testment. God and His Son Jesus has been here From the beginning and will be till the end.
But before you read. Ask God turely with all your heart to guide you as you read, study and learn.
I believe with all my heart. He saved me by His wonderful Grace. I am so unworthy! I can not live with out Him. Cause He always guides me right. When I fail or say something wrong or do something wrong. He shows me because He is "The Heavenly Father" Jesus is Lord of all Lords and King of all Kings!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will not go to hell because Christ was not born yet (except for other sin). Christianity did not exist until after Christ was born. His mother knew before he was born that He was the Son of God.

Before Jesus Christ was born, the world was judged by the laws of Moses. Levites, which is/was the priestly lineage of the 12 Hebrew tribes, added to Moses law for daily living and religious observance. Before Christ, to receive Almighty God's repentance of sin, man had to publicly/privately repent all their sins, then offer up a sacrifice of a pure blemish-free white lamb or ram onto a consecrated temple altar to God Almighty.

All of the followers of Jesus, when He walked among mankind, who accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, (the disciples, the followers of Jesus, Joseph, Mary, his mother) were called and named themselves "Christ- followers".

Mary was told by an angel of God that she had been chosen to be the virgin mother of The Son Of Almighty God. Mary was told what to name him before Jesus was born. Mary ALWAYS believed in the Deity of Jesus Christ.

Salvation was always by faith in God's Word - even before Christ. In Romans chapter 4 Paul gives two examples of saving faith which should be characteristic of Christian faith. He spoke of king David and Abraham, both of whom existed before the incarnation.

The Bible tells us that lots of people were saved BEFORE Jesus was born.

My guess is you've never actually read it yourself?

That is so sad.
