if they live a virtuous life?

No. One must believe in Jesus in order to go to heaven. Doesn’t matter how great of a life a person lives.

Accept a man be born again...he shall not enter th re Kingdom of heaven.

So no

Do they have a separate section in the heavenly bleachers for those who believed in Jesus, but lived the life of scoundrels?

So does the person go to hades even if he lives a good life not hurting anybody and faithfully takes care of his family. Should that person rot in hades the same as somebody like Adolph Hitler who did monstrous things?

If they deny Christ ...Yes

Didn’t know I couldn’t use the word hades even though it wasn’t used in a cursing sense. However, you get the gist.

If.you believe some Protestants you'll have a lot of Catholics keeping you company.

If that were possible there would have been no need for the cross. No matter how virtuous you or others believe you to be, you ain't virtuous enough to enter into the presence of the Glory of God. The Cross is the Way.

It may well be for those who are part of the Triumphant second coming of Christ and the reestablishment of Heaven on earth to look around and say;

"Well I'll be... I had no idea "you'd" be here!"

Same as they might say;
"Hey, where's _________? Thought for sure they'd make it in!"

None so clean that they can and none so dirty that they can't. Runs contrary to the way man thinks.

The Empty cross

Many people were crucified

Only Christ Died for our sins

And was resurrected on the 3rd day!

I'm waiting for Boco to chime in.

Oh oh

What about the millions of people in Australia or further reaches of the planet who never heard of either Jesus or his father? No way for them to know anything. Is it just for a just god to condemn those who never had a chance? How about those born deaf and blind who never learned to communicate with the world? Damnation for them too, huh?

Matthew 7:21-23 nasb

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROMME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

Roman's 3:10-19.....no is the answer.

Very good Adam

Jesus aint coming for any of us until all have had a chance to hear the word of god and accept or deny him
