    I asked the answer is basically they live/lived in sin because their ancestors made false gods. So via blood attainder thay are all guilty until God gets around to revealing the big J and then depended on a very slow method of having the news spread. It is I suppose consistent with a literal interpretation of the OT since than with everyone starting from Adam and Eve just what 6000 years ago everyone should basically have stayed a believer.

    So after God's masterplan mankind shall die out because of sicknesses and defects by incest like the neanderthals?

    I'd say that there's quite a lot of confusion about

    Limbo. (the Italian wikipedia page offers even more interpretations...)

    I personally respect those who have a strong faith, but I can't help being critical towards the very concept of "salvation" and the idea of an original sin, which to me seems to be a pretty obvious and straight excuse to try to dominate people's life with a supernatural and unverifiable mean.

    That newborn babys shall be born with sin and if they are not baptized with holy water go to a special kind of hell, is something, which makes me with other christian beliefs and myths to a unbeliever of christian faith.

    This kind of treatment of children is really demonic.

    You gotta get them started early or else it seems stupid as when someone finally explains religion to them.

    Doesnt always work tbh... Since I had been small till teen years, the parents were trying to raise me as a strong christian, had to help in church all the time as "altar boy" or whatever is it called in english... Though eventually I realized things (or perhaps just the usual teen revolt against parents ), and told them I dont believe in a god... lol, what a day, it was like if an asteroid was about to hit Earth for them...

    Morticia lunia Bruti,

    You do know that it was that kind of thinking by the Roman Catholic church that brought about the Reformation. The Bible does not teach such things but the one truth is that everyone is born into sin and so needs redemption before they die for the only outlook is heaven or hell.
