Re: Another Question For Protestants
"The book of Hebrews answers this one soundly. Chapter 11 explains exactly how those in the Old Testament were saved...namely, the same way anyone today is. They believe God's promise of the messiah. They walked by faith.
I would suggest reading the 11th chapter of Hebrews for your answer. Here are some verses that explain that those saved in the Old Testament are saved the same way we are, by faith:
(Heb 11:17 ESV) By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son,
(Heb 11:20 ESV) By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau.
(Heb 11:21 ESV) By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.
Each of these instances has Jesus the messiah as its ultimate object of faith."
Posts like this truly sadden me. Its just sickening how many people go to such detail while talking about dice systems.
