In the Name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit - One God - now & forever. Amen.
May the Peace of Christ be with you!
Quote:Does this apply to the Gentiles that came before Christ alone, or does this still work today?
Every human being is judged according to what they know & how they respond to their conscience. Before Christ's work of Redemption, the gates of Heaven were closed, therefore, deceased souls remained in what we call "Abraham's Bosom" until Christ rose from the dead & assumed the righteous with Him into His Fathers Kingdom. Before Christ, the Jews & Gentiles has partial truth. It was completed & fulfilled with the establishment of the <b>New & Everlasting</b> Covenant.
Quote:What do you mean the "Gospel of Christ"? I'm not aware of any Gospel with that name, or do you mean the good news of Christ, or do you mean the four Gospels? How can one be ignorant to them?
Gospel means "Good News". Christ is the Gospel. The 4 Gospels in the Holy Bible are a narration of the time the Son of God was made incarnate & dwelt among us until the time He ascended into Heaven. They are the heart of Sacred Scripture.
Quote:I'm sorry... I've been told I sometimes ask a lot of questions.
No need to apologize. Ask away! I'm glad I could help :) I just prefer not to get too carried away with discussions about Christianity on an Islamic forum.
Take care & God bless.
