The concept of right and wrong, we’re all supposed to know about it right, but believe it or not some people don’t. The question I always ask that usually evades me is, if someone lives a certain lifestyle that the person doesn’t know is wrong, where will the person go when they die.
Imagine a child that was born with witchcraft around him/her, therefore the child grows up thinking that is a way of life, if said child dies, do they go to hell. Some years back there was a small colony discovered in our very own naija, these people were prowling around near nakedness and worshipping idols, they didn’t know any different, if any of them died where would they go. In the Victorian days incest was a common practice, cousins got married; brother and sister had sexual relations and so forth, what was in store for them in the afterlife. In all these situations, these people didn’t know any better and were living according to their society, so will they suffer a fate they didn’t know they were headed to. In our courts of law they say ignorance is not a defense, does the same apply to a higher plane.
There was a guy sometime ago in naij that stole 4 million Naira from his employers, it was some hotel, and he gave the money to the church. Did he think he did something wrong, he didn’t keep a cent for himself, how would this person be judged. What about the man who doesn’t have a religion but believes in the existence of a higher being, he talks to this higher being, he’s a good person and does a lot of good for the world, he lives his life with minimal sin, but what happens to him after death because of the religion clause.
I’ve tried to answer these questions, but I cant, yet I always seem to wonder about these things, do you think you have an answer.
