During sunday school yesterday,we talked about RAPTURE 2,which really brought about a question which till now i don't understand or definitely not satisfied with the ansers......During the time of moses and the likes before the coming of Jesus those that didn't die in christ or never knew jesus what will happen to them,because the bible said 'The world would not come to an end except everyone hears of the Gospel and a passage in the bible says also that once the trumpet is blown those that are dead in christ would rise from the dead before the saints then after this Judgement so the question is...Are there no sinners in hell fire,before the coming of jesus those that didn't hear of the gospel,what would happen to them?

We treated this in one of our digging deep. The reply was, those at that time who didn't hear the word but lived a goodly life will not go to hell. I will ask again and get back to you with scriptures.

am nt a devoted christian.... so no teaching 2 give 2 u

According to the scriptures there are different dispensations n men are saved accordingly. Before the law there was no sin n it wasn't put into account for the bible says 'where there was no law there was no sin'. But when the law came sin came into existence, so for anyone to be saved during the era of the law he must live by the law, for the bible says 'those that are under the law must live by the law'.

But in the dispensation of grace when Jesus came salvation was by accepting the sacrifice of Jesus alone n walking according to the new life of the spirit.

Now this might not be encompassing enough, the bible says if the Gentiles that have not the law do the right thing according to the law they are accepted for that is a law to them. So those that lived before Christ had conscience to lead them at that time, n are expected to walk accordingly. Bt God also went further 'cos when Christ died He went down to Hell to preach the gospel to those in the prison that never had the chance. So nobody will be with excuse never having opportunity to hear the gospel to get saved.

Romans chapter 2-5

1Peter3 among many others.

Stay blessed n remain rapturable

Odward: so now sir what you mean is those that died before christ would be judge according to their works and not how we would all be judge?

Yes n No, bt did u read d scriptures I provided in light of my explanation?

Yes they are judged according to their dispensations, bt Christ also went to preach to all dead before He came so everyone would have a chance to the gospel. Though its more complicated bt as far as d scriptures revealed bt won't want to go into revelations not to confuse u. Just read more books on rapture in d light of the scripture for all things must align to the scripture.

It is clear throughout the ages, that many people, prior to Christ birth, lived good lives. The question is: How did they live such good lives without Christ saving them? The answer: they could not without salvation. So how could Christ save people before His coming to die on the Cross? Here is the answer: First of all, Christ birth was not the time that Christ existed. He has always existed, because He is God the Son; He just did not have a flesh and blood body prior to His birth. However, He is the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world (Rev 13:. So before His birth, God credited Christ death as an “I owe you.” Just like you write down I owe you to someone, you promise that one day you will pay it. The same is true of God. Before Christ came to the earth, God promised all people that one day He will pay for their debt, and so he counted their debts paid even before Christ died. So how did He save them without the Holy Spirit regenerating them? Remember, Christ is the wisdom of God (1 Cor 1:24), and His wisdom has been available from the beginning of creation. By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations (Prov 3:19). Jesus is the one who laid the earth’s foundations. Through him all things were made (John 1:3). Jesus, prior to His birth, existed in the form of the wisdom of God. When someone “found Jesus” they found “wisdom.” This wisdom enabled people to live righteous lives, just as the Holy Spirit gives us this ability. People’s noble lives proved that they had touched Christ in some way, or should I say, Christ touched them in some way.
