Consider the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus the poor man did not know Christ nor was he baptized: yet, the poor man made it to heaven: in this Jesus was true to to His Word that the poor will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. And in the same story we read of Abraham in paradise: therefore to know God is to know the Son and the Holy Spirit. In the old testament God tells Moses that He is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob: therefore God is the God of the living and not of the dead. And that God declared Himself as the God of the three patriarchs implies that they are His people. And when Abraham asked God if He would destroy the righteous with the wicked: God said He would not: this can be seen in the story of Noah: therefore God will not allow the innocent to be punished with the guilty: as God separated the Light (Good) from the Darkness (Evil) in the beginning, so too will He accomplish the same in the end.How exactly can I explain to someone where non-Christians went before Christ was born and died. Where did the Jews go? Would it be fair for God to send to hell all the other types of people who were born in different lands and had no control over that? What if they tried to be good people? What if they would have come to Christ if given the chance?
Also: Where do unborn babies go? Aborted ones? What about infants who die before they can be baptized? Do they go to hell?

You have a big heart and a sense of farness and justice. Think of how much more fair, kind, Loving and just the true God is. Jesus revealed the Father in his life, it was a much more mature and believable portrayal than the Old Testament concept of God.How exactly can I explain to someone where non-Christians went before Christ was born and died.

Well, that sounds harsh or unfair, but what we have to go on is the Bible. Otherwise, we have no idea what the answer to that kind of question would be...and the Bible IS our main or sole guide to the will, the intentions, and the standards of God.That's my point. Many on earth either don't know who Jesus is or haven't been given the experience or the knowledge of who Jesus is.
I hear most Christian religions say if you don't except Jesus you go to hell.

Again, as with the fate of all who died before the Incarnation, it has not been explicitly revealed , but as we believe in a God of Mercy as well as Justice, we have Hope that such as died before birth or shortly after were not forgotten in the Plan of God for our salvation.Also: Where do unborn babies go?

Well what did Jesus say? Abraham lived 2000 years before the incarnation of Christ yet:How exactly can I explain to someone where non-Christians went before Christ was born and died.

I am not disagreeing with you, I am adding to your thoughts, if you don't mind?What about people who died before Christ was born? Infants? Mentally challenged etc?
Romans 4:15
(15) Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Romans 5:13
(13) (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Babies first: Jesus said of children that their angels do ever behold the face of his father. Children go to heaven. Aborted children go to heaven. Unbaptized children go to heaven.How exactly can I explain to someone where non-Christians went before Christ was born and died. Where did the Jews go?

If you are correct about that, the question is answered for Lybrah. But of course the idea that we are born with or in sin is the conventional Christian position which I suppose has to be addressed by her when speaking to her friends about this.I do not believe in the doctrine of original sin, so I believe children before the age of accountability do not need salvation, since they are in a safe condition.
