I talked to my roommate about this just now. It was a kind of a peaceful interfaith conversation.. Anyway, this very issue has been haunting me for ages and it is still very mysterious. It may be simple. But, how would you answer this question. Alright, are you ready?
Consider a man who is living a life of a prophet. He is very saintly. Very down-to-earth. Very inspiring. Very generous. Very kindhearted. He is also the moral pillar. He is the perfect role-model for every living thing. Very much adored by everyone. He has committed no sin. He never lied. He has no criminal record. He makes the blind see. He makes the poor feel warm. Those who can't walk would run at his presence. He is CLEAN and PURE.
He HOWEVER, belongs to no religion. Neither he is a Muslim, nor a Christian. He believes in no Superpower but he believes in only being morally good and being humanly. When he died, would the God whose Christians dutifully worship or any other God for this matter recognize this man as his Shepperd? Would he be spared a place in Heaven? Or would he be condemned for his ignorance to acknowledge the presence of the Divinity despite his saintly act during his lifetime?
