I have heard this statement from many Christian brothers & sisters.
"No one goes to the Father except through him, Christ Jesus. Our sins are forgiven and we have the hope of "everlasting life" in accepting Christ Jesus."
Can you tell me what happens to the whole lot of people who existed before Jesus Christ pbh was born, Who don’t have a chance to go to heaven, just because they were born before Jesus Christ pbh. Isn’t God unjust to them? As according to the Christians, Jesus Christ pbh is the only way . The people born before were not given a chance to follow the way.
And also think about the likes of Abraham, Noah, Moses, David, Solomon pbt .... What about their salvation....Is it also through Jesus pbh.

Can the answer be this?
For every period, Prophets were sent & books were revealed so as to guide the people to the straight path.
The Last book is the Quran & the Last prophet is Muhammad s.a.w.
Quran Chapter 4 An-Nisaa.
150
Those who deny Allah and his Rasool and those who intend to draw a line between Allah and His Rasools saying: "We believe in some, and reject the rest" - desiring to take a middle way between belief and unbelief
151
- these are the real unbelievers and We have prepared for such unbelievers a humiliating punishment.
152
As for those who believe in Allah and His Rasools and do not discriminate between any of them, We shall soon give them their due rewards. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful

Brothers & Sister we are to believe that all the prophets were sent by god , even if we refuse to believe in any one of them . We go to hell , That is why you will observe that the you will not get a single knowlegable muslim who does not believe in Jesus Christ or virgin motherhood of mother Mary.
Let me get it straight
If the Quran is the word of God and we reject it or we reject Muhammad s.a.w. to be the last Prophet of God. We are rejecting God. So read the quran , Assess it , and take a right decision . .... Dont be among the loosers.

Oh no. God Almighty is a just God. All the faithfuls before Jesus already have their salvation through their faith and loyalty to God Almighty. Those have special places with God. All others that died before Christ Jesus will have the resurrection and be judged accordingly. Christ Jesus is for us now. If we don't follow the ways of Christ Jesus and so still reject him, then we have no salvation.

The New Testament talks about Moses, David, Abraham, and the prophets, saying that they had faith in God.
The New Testament calls Jesus "the great God and our Saviour."
God is omnipotent. There is nothing impossible for him to do.
People who obeyed God, walked righteous, and cared for the poor would have gone to heaven. Jesus is the Saviour, so he saves. God was a Saviour before he came to earth, and he is still a just God and a Saviour now.
God must have made atonement for the sins of the whole world, or there would not be any 'world' at all.
God must have lived in the flesh on earth. Otherwise no atonement could have been made.
If God had not done this, life on earth would be 100 percent unliveable.

It is this ignorance of man that makes him believe that he can attain salvation through Religion or through following the teachings of prophets who have come to guide men. Religion can only act as a tool but man himself alone is responsible for his salvation. Those who are ignorant blame God for their misfortunes and congratulate themselves for their glad tidings. God has bestowed human beings with a highest divine capability that of intellect. Man has to use his intellect and discriminate between right and wrong action that will lead to his salvation nothing else will. The earlier you understand this truth the better it shall be and then you can find out by your own self how religion can help you in performing right deeds. This is eternal truth.

To be honest, God is graciously "unjust". If He were to be solely just, we would all burn for eternity, it is what we deserve. But God, in grace and love, has chosen out a people, a people who needed to be saved, needed to be forgiven of their sins, through the sacrifice of Christ. And there is the problem, many Christians erroneously believe we "choose" God, or we "choose" salvation, nothing could be further from the truth. God chooses us, not based on anything we did or would do, but simply out of grace, mercy and love. Those who lived before Christ, those chosen for salvation, looked forward to the coming Messiah and believed in Him. Their faith justified them, their faith in what God told them. They believed God and it was counted as righteousness towards them.

The quote you refer to is to from the book of John, 10th Chapter.
But, God commands that we shall have no God other than Him. The quote from the book of John implies that we should worship Jesus Christ to get to God ("for I am the gate, any that come before me are thieves and robbers...") If we are to worship only one God, why do we need a gate?. I believe this is wrong. If the word of God Himself is that we shall worship and have only one God, then worship of Jesus Christ is a direct contradiction to God's word. Also one of the commandments states that "thou shalt not worship graven images..." . A crucifix IS a graven image... bearing the likeness of Jesus Christ!

Then come back after the Truth sets you free.

All who follow a sincere, honest and informed conscience are saved through the Catholic Church. This goes for all those in the Old Testament, New Testament and even into the future who might not get the real opportunity to follow Him directly.

human beings do not opt for to obey God who gave them this existence and countless those advantages; so, they're against Him who created them! nonetheless, the loving God made a fashion for them to go into his kingdom by sending his in ordinary terms Son on earth. He huge-unfold a brutal loss of life with out committing any sin for the sake of all those sinners who could place self belief in him. Jesus stands there on circulate for you and me; in case you're smug even to settle for Him in existence, then none can blame God for something. God has comprehensive his artwork for forgiveness of sins by Jesus' sacrifice. Whoever needs to get relieved, will seek for him and could stay with him in his kingdom. arrogance and foolishness can in no way see the dominion of God.

When Christ went to the prisons, he offered them the same salvation that He offers to you.
God is always Just.
