what happens to the people who died before christ?

They are all grandfathered in to heaven...like a free ticket to disneyworld. Lucky buggers..AngelB1ack

damn i wish i got a free ticket.

Jesus hadn't died for our sins yet so does that automatically confine them to hell?downPlayDemon

Yup. 

In Luke 16:19-31, Jesus refers to a place known as Abraham's Bosom. Perhaps those that followed God before Christ went to a place where they could await Christ's victory over sin?psr388

Ahah, Abrahams Bosom...

hmm, possibly, Im not sure myself.  Ill ask one of the pastors at my church and see what they know.  but they certainly were not sent to Hell.

I wasnt trying to be rude but I just thought it was funny, get over it.unknown-phenom

Don't take it the wrong way. I'm not insulted in anyway. I just knew as soon as I wrote "Bosom" that someone would mention it.

I asked this very same question once, and I was told it didn't really matter . . . :| That terse response (from a pastor no less) placed a permanent --10 penalty on my Faith attribute. Since then I've relied more heavily on sheer Cognition, but the compensation is shoddy at best. Elraptor

Yeah I got told not to question these things because it's dangerous to question God's mysteries. We should just let him deal with these things and not worry ourselves.

I actually asked the question "what happened to all the native americans who never heard of jesus before the pilgrims came?"

Perhaps God had some way he told them about himself, such as through nature. God did use the position of the stars to tell the three magi about Christ, you know.

It really depends, if they believed in god and were good people in their life time then i guess they will go to heaven. But I dnt see how the bad ones are going to heaven!! so I guess it HELL for them

Maybe. A more plausible situation? Each tribe and civilization each had their own form of religion which differed VASTLY from the christian religion. I have never once heard of a religious tribe in the Americas that resembled Christianity at all. So I guess either, God didn't give them any proof like he did to Moses and with Jesus and they had nothing to believe in, or he didn't every say anything to them.
