But what about those who died blameless? There have been an untold number of human beings who, through no fault of their own, die before they can find salvation. What happens to those who have committed no sins but do not get access to God?
Limbo is where they go. According to Dante's Divine Comedy, it's called the Ante Inferno and is the final destination for those souls neither sinful or virtuous. I realize the Catholic Church has "discontinued" the doctrine of Limbo, but even the Catholic Church is powerful enough to make those kinds of changes. I believe Limbo (by whatever name) has existed and will alwats exist.
So that's why Christians are so eager to baptize their infants.
How many humans are not Adam's descendants?
Quote:
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. [Romans 5:14 KJV]
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. [1 Corinthians 15:22 KJV]
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. [1 Corinthians 15:45 KJV]
