Question For My Chrisitan Friends...?

[badstar]

Do not answer this question: If someone has never heard of Jesus, God, Chrisitanity, The Bible, etc....do they still go to hell for not being saved?

Okay...I'm not looking for an answer to this question.

Answer this question: Is this a valid question? If no, why not?

Just curious. Question prompted by a discussion had with someone in another community. I know that just about everyone I've talked to in the past thinks that it's a valid question to ask, no matter what they may believe the answer is. This would be the first person that I've ever talked to who's pretty much said "that isn't a valid question."

(ok, if you really want you can tell me what your thoughts on the first question are but what I'm really looking for is a yes or no to "is this a valid question?", and if you say no, then why you say so.

I believe they would go to limbo in classic christian teachings

'Kaaaaay....but is it a valid question to ask?

as to the will he or won't he, I know what I believe now (Doesn't really matter what I believe though cause I'm not Christian), I know what I believed back in my "really, I'm trying to be Christian" days... (That the option to accept salvation and repent would be offered when the person died)

The one thing I REALLY can't wrap my brain around is the idea of sending an unbaptized baby to limbo. A baby.

This was the thought that caused my mom to start questioning Catholocism and eventually lead to leaving the church.

Well officially, Limbo was where the noble pagans went, specifically those born before Christ's death.

Limbo is a bit harsh, but it could be worse in the Christian Doctrine

oh...and once again, is it a valid question to ask "what happens to this guy?"
