Question
During the second coming of Christ. All the people who have died before his coming will they have a second chance to accept Christ without the barrier of sin? If not what about the people who have had only a cursory experience of God and Jesus? Will they be placed in hell with little information or experience of Jesus, such as other cultures?
In His Name,
David
Hi David,
The answer is no. Hebrews 9:27 says, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." Nowhere in the Bible does it teach that after death a person will have a second chance at being saved.
I have an article on my web site at http://bible-truth.org/Judgment.html which explains the judgment of believers.
There is another message at http://bible-truth.org/hell2.html which explains judgment of the lost and of the bible's teaching on hell.
Please read these articles and I believe they will answer you questions. If they do not fully give you your answers...please write again and I will try to give you a more specific answer.
Thank you for writing and you good question.
