'I don't know what hell is exactly, but I'd imagine that when you die there is some sort of judgment that happens. After the judgment, I'd imagine that your soul is recycled or sent somewhere else according to the judgment you received. No one is ever pure enough to escape the loop, so union with God is essentially impossible outside of occasional interventions that were made for specific people (Elijah, etc). This is probably just the way that the universe functions on a fundamental level.

Christianity though, through faith and belief in Christ's sacrifice, allows you to exit the loop. The way I see it is that makes sense to my brain is that God is playing sims and at some point he wanted to save the sims from getting soul harvested every time they died and so he created a way for them to exit without being perfect (impossible)

Why wouldn't the righteous go to heaven? Do you really believe God created a world where for thousands of years it was impossible to go to heaven, but at the same time punish them for doing wrong?

>Why wouldn't the righteous go to heaven?
They didn't exist.
>Do you really believe God created a world where for thousands of years it was impossible to go to heaven, but at the same time punish them for doing wrong?
It is impossible to go to heaven, because man is a born sinner. There is absolutely only one way to be saved, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ. Men have been saved this way since Adam was first redeemed.
>With reincarnation
Utterly unbiblical, literally paganism
>people who aren't deserving of heaven or hell
No such thing, not even in concept. The bible speaks of two (and only two) ways by which man may live, and not die. He can either keep the law, perpetually, entirely and perfectly, or he can believe in Christ. If he stands before God in the former way he will either merit life, or merit death. There is no third option.
>It's not mentioned in the Bible
Which means it is an invention of your mind, a product of human "wisdom" and not divine revelation.

The purpose of scripture is to guide the people of God through their sojourn before the new heaven and new earth. It is not merely a set of morals, but the substance of our faith, being the voice of our God.';

Abraham was a righteous man. Job was a righteous man. By the way, neither of them were Jewish and neither of them kept the commandments of the Law (Torah). Also, think about it logically: if God told people to be righteous even before the Law was given, doesn't it mean it was possible to be righteous? Would God tell us to do something impossible?
>There is absolutely only one way to be saved, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ
Invention of the New Testament, which has nothing in common with the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).
>Utterly unbiblical, literally paganism
It's not contradicted by the Bible, unless you can show me a verse that would prove otherwise. The Bible just has nothing to say on that topic. In fact, it even says very little about heaven and hell. There's just vague verses about reward and punishment after death.
>He can either keep the law, perpetually, entirely and perfectly, or he can believe in Christ
If a man repents of his sin he will be forgiven. See Ezekiel 18:21-23.
>product of human "wisdom" and not divine revelation
I'm not saying it like it's a fact, and luckily we don't need to be correct on this topic because it doesn't affect salvation. But it makes sense. According to you, children who didn't believe in Jesus are not burning in hell?';

If they were good people according to their conscience, yes. They would've been brought to heaven alongside Jesus during the Harrowing of Hell alongside the other pre-Jesus good people, like Moses or Noah. Before this point, they were in limbo. This is referred to as the "limbo of the patriarchs," and most likely no longer exists.

>The Bible just has nothing to say on that topic. In fact, it even says very little about heaven and hell. There's just vague verses about reward and punishment after death.
You do not have a biblical worldview. I don't know what you have derived your worldview from, but it wasn't the bible. The bible does not need to spell out "[X] doctrine is false" to contradict it, the bible has its own doctrines. The verses are anything but vague, it is very clear that the spirits of the wicked go to a place of punishment while the righteous (which is still by faith) went to a compartment of Hades called Abraham's bosom until the coming of Christ, at which point they dwell with the Lord, until the final judgement when all life shall rise again (into which body shall they rise?), and either be cast into outer darkness or dwell with the Lord in a new heaven and new earth.';

'>>16590776
>If a man repents of his sin he will be forgiven
Why is that, sir? If only God had given us an entire 66 book collection to study instead of a handful of loosely strung statements that aren't connected to each other. On its own merits, the repentant would perish with the unrepentant, because repentance is not nearly sufficient to expiate the mountain of sins which crushes the back of every man. Be clear, repentance and faith do *not* merit forgiveness. Faith saves not because it is so good to overwhelm the wickedness of the believer, but solely because it apprehends the imputation of the righteousness of Christ, which is the only reason the believer can stand in God's presence, since his sins were retributed on the cross, and he was clothed in Christ's righteousness.
>I'm not saying it like it's a fact
Irrelevant. It is speculation. Where God ceases speaking, we cease speaking.
>According to you, children who didn't believe in Jesus are not burning in hell?
Children who were the seed of Adam were blessed with limitless grace and mercy by being permitted to breathe at all, since what they deserved was to slide right from the womb into the fires of hell.';

Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live. 23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?';

Genesis 26:5: "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
>God told us to be perfect as He is perfect
Citation required. Also, please see Proverbs 24:16. A righteous man stumbles seven times, but notice he is still righteous because he repents of his sin. You still haven't answered why God would tell us to do something impossible. Why does God say to Cain, "Sin is lurking by the door, but you can overcome it"? Was that a lie? A deception?
>one of the most faithless things I've ever seen
Really? Even more faithless than atheism? I am not an atheist. I believe in the God of the Bible, but that is the Hebrew Bible, which contradicts the "New Testament." The idea of a dying messiah whose death atones for people's sins is totally foreign to the Hebrew Bible, which says that no man shall die for another man's sins.
>Hebrews 9:27
Not in the Hebrew Bible.

>>16592517
>repentance is not nearly sufficient to expiate the mountain of sins which crushes the back of every man
See Deuteronomy 30:11-14. Pay special attention to the final verse, "No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart SO YOU MAY OBEY IT."
>Where God ceases speaking, we cease speaking
