Christian view of Abraham?

[Anonymous]

Since the gospel came after Abraham, Abraham did not accept Jesus as Savior. So what is the Christian view on him?

really, no one in the Old Testament could accept Jesus as their savior. What are you getting at?

Abraham affected the Jews and Muslims. God promised his descendants the "holy land," which is the cause of strife btw the two groups.

Because he had two sons with two different wives - one "claimed" by Jews, the other by Muslims - each side claims the land.

Christians play no "official" role in this ridiculous mess based on myths.

So then who is exempt from the punishment of hell for not accepting Jesus as Savior in Christianity?

Are people living in rural areas who never heard of Christ still able to go to Heaven? Are people born before Christ able to avoid hell? Are people living in countries that prohibit Christians from proselytizing also able to avoid Hell?

I'm sure one of the "good Christians" on the believing in God thread can enlighten you with some religious fluff.

Why not post there? It's quite entertaining.

Before Jesus, people just died. Now, when the final judgement comes, people born both pre and post Jesus will stand before god. Right?

This belongs in a different thread. Nobody asked about the holy land.

You tell me. My question isn't whether they will come before God, my question is if they can avoid hell because they did not accept Christ as Lord?

no - same thing, genius

Christians don't really give a rat's ass about Abraham b/c he was connected to the Jews and Muslims. I'm just giving some background, honey bun.

Rats ass? Lets wait for a Christian to say that. If you're not a practicing knowledgeable Christian, your opinion is irrelevant. Judging from your lovely communication skills, my guess is you are not.

Why can't a Christian say rat's ass?

So people who say rat's ass are all atheists? That's a great generalization, genius.

This says one must acknowledge Jesus as savior to enter Heaven. The question was - so does mean all others, even Abraham, go to hell?

The Pope says good atheists can enter heaven - http://www.catholic.org/news/hf/faith/story.php?id=51077
So by being good, one can assume that when it's time for the day of judgment, those folks will be saying yes to Christ!
