I grew up a fundamentalist Southern Baptist. In my late teens I started to question. One of the things that helped me drop Christianity was the thought process trying to answer: Who was the first Jew who died and went to hell because they didn’t accept Jesus as their saviour?
Because biblically, the Jews were the Chosen People, right? So if you were Jewish, you went to heaven. But according to Christians, you have to accept Jesus now.
So when did that happen, exactly? When was it that the last Jew died and went to heaven, and the next Jew died and went to hell?
What is crazy to me is Jews don’t “believe” in Jesus Christ. Absolutely absurd to me they just ignore him. Just more proof that they probably did crucify him 😭
I don’t know if I’m remembering this correctly. But I thought the church taught that everyone went below (don’t remember the exact name of the place) and between Jesus’s death and resurrection, he took the keys to heaven and he’ll and preached to those who were not alive to hear his message and then those who accepted him were saved.
Sort of. Before Jesus, the gates of heaven were closed for reasons. After he was crucified and paid the price for original sin he opened the gates of heaven and saved all the people in hell.
