Did pre-christ humans go to hell?
I've been thinking about this lately. If accepting jesus as your lord and savior is required to get into heaven(according to many christian denominations), which after-world did those who died pre-crucifiction go? Did everyone go to heaven, or did everyone go to hell? Was it determined by one's virtue in life.
I realize that some christians don't believe in hell, and that some christians place more value on righteousness than acknowledgement of jesus' sacrifice in terms of getting into heaven. I'm just curious how a god fearing christian would approach this question.
