Like I said "Abraham was in heaven which was before Jesus came so obviously there will be people in heaven that lived before Jesus died on the Cross." And the illustration I gave from the words of Jesus happened before Jesus came so the man could not have heard about Jesus. So I have already given this as food for thought. I do realize that there have been many that have died before they heard about Jesus both before and after he came to earth, and as far as I know to date the Bible does not clarify what happens to these people. My main point through all of this is that God is a fair and loving and just God and no matter what He has decided to do in this area weather or not I understand my trust is in Him and issues such as this will not shake my faith. Believe me you have not shaken my faith in the least and I did not mean to imply that you had. As far as reading books I do not plan on taking another mans interpretation on this subject. When I look for an answer from God I trust in His word first and foremost and the Holy Spirit to revel the truth. I will study straight from the Bible and the Greek Hebrew and Latin text as time permits.

As far as what I believe; The Lord will provide a way to himself for all who seek Him. AND YOU TELL ME WHERE IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE THAT SOMEONE WILL BURN IN HELL WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF JESUS. You can't!!! And I have not said it either so do not make it sound like that is what I am saying. You haven't quoted one scripture yet in are discussion it has been all your own understanding. You are making it sound like I am saying something that I am not PLEASE do not do that.
