Anyone?

This is what I was told by my dad when I was little: children who die as children always go to heaven, but ppl who died before Jesus went into like a waiting room until Jesus died on the cross, and were given the choice of whether they believed or not. And went to heaven or hell based on that.

So you're saying that religions that believe in a different God go to hell? Just wondering.

I mean yes. but like I said, back then, they were given a choice. and children just go to heaven.

So you believe Jews go to hell?

This person says yes when asked if he/she thinks people that believe other gods will go to hell, and you conclude that Jews will go to hell? Is it even possible to get any more non-sequitur than that?

I think that might also be a potential strawman.

well, I would say yes. because, if I'm thinking correctly, Jews think Jesus was not like God, and he did not die for our sins. which is probably the most important thing to accept when being saved.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the 'waiting room' is called Paradise

There is a verse that I have had in mind.

Romans 2:14-16 tells of the Gentiles who have not the law, are a law unto themselves; the law is written in their hearts [conscience (Genesis 1:26)] that on judgment day will judge them

With this verse it offers a possiblity that those who have had no chance of hearing about Christ will instead be judged by their conscience. After all, how were the Israelis judged when Christ has not yet been born?

With that, the possibility of them being saved is slim because like most Jews (Romans 10;1-4), most of the Gentiles would seek to be justified by the law.
