[quote=Anonymous]As another PP noted, no one living before Christ could believe in Him, obviously. However, in the OT, it talks a lot about the coming Messiah. Jews believed in that person. They just don't believe that Christ was the Messiah. In any case, in the OT, there were a lot of people that were "chosen", and blessed by God - Abraham, David, etc... Before Christ, the way to Heaven was through following the OT laws. In the OT, there is a passage about how Elijah was sent up to Heaven without even dying - 2Kings 2:11. What I've been taught, as a Protestant, is that Abraham is the father of all "Believers", just as the OT states (and another PP noted), that from him will come as many descendants as there are stars in heaven - these are not literal descendants, but spiritual ones. So, as a Christian, we see Abraham as a faithful servant of God (yes, I know, he made mistakes as did every single person in the Bible, except for Christ).[/quote]
