Bible Question:
Where is the scripture that makes reference as Jesus appearing to those who died before his death to give them the opportunity to receive him? I remember reading it in the bible not long ago and I am unable to find it now. Based on that scripture, I believe (or hope) those who have died before hearing about Jesus, including babies, may have the opportunity to receive Him before judgement. Any thoughts? |
Bible Answer: Lisa G ... Read the context who what your read or hear (Acts 17:11). I have a different view. Once you die, you cannot change your desinity (Heb 9:27) and the the passages in Peter those were alive who heard - now are dead. Searcher |
