I dont study religion but like alot of people im interested in it and how it is misinterpreted in many ways. I consider myself a christian but I dont share all the views of the 'normal' everyday christian
i have a question for the christians, what happened to people when they died before jesus came along and saved them so that they would go to "heaven" were they just somewhere in limbo and in that case was there no "hell" before jesus came along.
actually youre exactly right. the Christian belief (as far as i know from reading Dante's Divine Comedy) is that there is a "Limbo" outside of hell where those who were died before christ exist. they chase a blank banner for endless time as punishment for following false Gods.

Dude, Dante made that pretty much completely up. it's essentially fantasy loosely based on religion. I've read it lol

thats not true. while he did make most of the story line up. it is considered the greatest work of literature because it is an allegory to the views of religion and politics of his time.

Catholics believe in a place called Purgatory...kinda like a waiting room...i think it's for those who aren't good enough to get into heaven but not so bad to go to hell...not sure if that's right though...i think it's wrong I, however, do not believe in Purgatory

you read it. i did a 28 page report on it.
That whole section was made up, it isn't in the Bible. The Old Testament does not refer to what happened of foreign cultures because the Jews did not know them really. It mentions a coming prophet, but not what happens to everyone until he gets there. You may know your Dante, but Christianity is the faith of the Bible, not the Divine Comedy.
for Catholics and many other sects of Christianity the Pope is the soul authority on religious matters NOT the bible. especially in that time. the bible may not say anything about it but when Christianity was first on the rise many historians and christian philosophers had the burden of explaining to the "pagans" what happened to those who died before Christ.
