People who died before the resurection, how will they be saved?
Why would a Christian think that every Israelite, even known reprobates and people who defied God, will automatically be welcomed into heaven?The Israelites get a free pass being the chosen people and all. We are grafted into their inheritance from my understanding.
I see what you mean. I was under the impression that the children of Abraham are given a blood inheritance of eternal life.Why would a Christian think that every Israelite, even known reprobates and people who defied God, will automatically be welcomed into heaven?
Yes, God had/has a chosen people, but that's not to say that every last member of that people, from every point in historic time, is guaranteed salvation.

This is also my belief, Jesus went to sheol to Abrahams bosom and set the believers free and took them to heaven.The customary and historic belief is that those people (Moses, for instance) who were right with God except for the saving works of Christ were not allowed to be in heaven before the Resurrection but were then freed to go to heaven at that point.

1 Peter 4:6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.This is one rendition of that belief along with the relevant Bible verses--
GOT A QUESTION (biblepath.com)
I noticed that problem with the Peter passage also, but I didn't want to get into cutting, omitting, and editing the material when the request was basically that the relevant verses be listed.1 Peter 4:6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
The information Peter is conveying about the “now dead” suggest they recently died and not those dead 4000 years earlier. By the time of Peter’s letter, there were those who accepted or rejected the gospel who were now dead.
I really think Paul explains it very well in Ro. 3:25.I noticed that problem with the Peter passage also, but I didn't want to get into cutting, omitting, and editing the material when the request was basically that the relevant verses be listed.
The way that issue has normally been presented is that the souls of the just who were pre-Christ could not go to heaven prior to his sacrifice on the cross, but that they were covered by it when it was accomplished.
There were other websites that I could have chosen but they aren't as tidy as that particular one seemed to be. If you are a reader who's interested in more than a quick reply, there is a lot more that's in the same general vein.
