So you believe that if non-Christians live a virtuous life, they have the possibility of going to "heaven"?
Eternal life is the gift of God. It isn't earned by "doing" or "being" good. No matter how "virtuous" one is, without Christ they are lost.
I'll leave the judging to God.

What if the mores and such are way different from ours, like in some tribes it is ok to cut out a girl's clitoris and has been going on for hundreds of years. So would your god condemn them for that practice or others that we would consider bad?

But no one has eternal life without Christ.
Originally posted by josephwSo you are ok with the killing of homosexuals simply because they are gay?
Is it insane to obey God?
BTW, the act of clitoris removal is practiced today and has been in the past and if that tribe never saw, heard of, or read about Jesus, they are all insane and therefore bound for hell?
