In the beliefe of christianity those who dont belive shall not recieve salvation...

all those people who are born mentally retarded, some have no knowledge of such things as god because they can not comprehend it.

You misunderstand the requirements for salvation.

One must feel remorse for the wrongs that they understand as wrongs, along with a lack of blaspheming God.

OR

They can place their faith in the Christ and be forgiven for their trespasses, known and unbeknownst.

The first conditions mainly apply to those who do not hear the message of Christ in their life, or do not have the mental capacity to understand the framework of right and wrong. If a retard cannot understand right and wrong then their actions are not meant as trespasses against God's law as they do not have the mental faculties to actively disobey, but are merely actions of base instinct...it is what is in the mind of man that creates sin, not the actions of the individual.

Where in the Bible does it say this?

I thought Jesus prayed to God to forgive the men who killed him, because those men did not understand what they were doing?

I vote for re-incarnation over hell.

It makes more sense that we aren't allowed into heaven UNTIL we are pure of spirit. That way it's just a case of "when we've learnt".

People can't help being ignorant.

How can we learn when everytime we start a new life, we remember zilch about our previous life?

Heres my point of view: Anyone whos name was not written in the book of life (death, satan, etc) is sent to hell where he will be thrown in to the second death where he will be wiped out of existence. Everyone whos name was written in the book of life retard, satanist or not go to either purgatory or heaven. Everyone that has sinned which is everybody is sent to purgatory where he will be purged of his sins and feel all the pain he has ever caused anyone else. Then he will be sent to heaven. Heaven in my point of view is what you want it to be - everything you ever wanted to do such as fly or whatever will all be possible. I could go on and on about this but you all get the point.

Too over done. Snoopy just posted this same exact thread a few days ago.
