I believe there is no God's creation who is not God's child. Everybody returns to the father after our life on earth. This is a life we begin with god in heaven, our souls become our identity.
No one knows what happens after you die. Not a single person alive on this earth can tell that with any certainty. So in the end it does not matter whether you are a child of any god.
We all live a sheltered life of comfort. But what happens to those who are not "Gods children?"
Are these the ones to be ressurected to life or death?
Where are the dead according to your personal belief system until the Ressurection??
Please back up your beliefs with why you believe the way you do. Thank you.

From what I know(based on the Bible & experience) The dead in Christ, their spirits are in Heaven (also the O.T) righteous. Their spirit is who they really are.
The unsaved dead, when they die, go to a Hell (Such as in Luke 16:19-31) (Also, see 2Peter2) In Rev.21-They are resurrected only for judgment purposes then they are cast into the Lake of Fire. Here's an interesting thing I read- is that if they were deemed "not so bad" unbelievers- then they would cease to exist in the Lake of Fire. If they were really wicked unbelievers, they would suffer a little while before ceasing to exist in the Lake of Fire.
John 14.6 Jesus, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me."
I look at this as meaning that unless you can call on the name of the Lord then you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. I do think that very young children and people with very bad disabiltys that can not make there own choice's will be saved in God's grace - Romans 9.18 -
I see it as people that can call upon the name of the Lord will be in Heaven until the Ressurection but people that can not call on the name will be in Hell !
Okay i'm a Christain born and raised a Christain. One can't really prove what will happen to anyone in the afterlife. We know that God loves all of his children and all of use will be judged for our life. No matter if you believe in him or not you can be saved. God sent his only son down to die for our sins givin us a chance to make it to Heaven. Just live a good life and you will make it. God's always watching over us.

Erin, I'm sorry, but your statements are contradictory.
There is a general mercy that goes on for all people in this life. However, God sent His only Son to die for the sins of all mankind- BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT FREE GIFT! I would think that would have been basic learning.
There are people who have lived and died without ever knowing Christ. Do you really think our Heavenly Father would have them live eternally in hell? No, He is a loving Father. Hell is reserved for those who have committed grievous sins without repentance. There is hope for us all. We all will be resurrected and judged by One who knows us best. ANd then we will receive our reward or punishment.

Lacey, we are given a free will. We can accpet Jesus or we can reject him. The choice is ours and I agree our Heavenly Father is full of love and mercy. Hell is reserved for the sinner without Christ...in Revelation it states clearly all that will be cast into the Lake of fire and there are many horrible types of sinners/sins listed but it also states and the unbelieving too are cast. God sends no one there...man sends himself there. He sent Jesus to rescue us but we have to take his hand.

I don't know and wouldn't pretend that i do know. I trust God is merciful, loving, kind. I feel certain there is a provision for those who have never had the opportunity to accept or reject Christ. (those are my thoughts and I can't back that with scripture) I can back up this...those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ and die in their sins will spend eternity in hell.
Here is the thing, we are given a free will he won't make us do anything we don't want to but he did provide a way for us to be with HIM forever. To be honest, in the natural i suppose it doesnt seem fair but I'm not God and He is sovereign.
In fact, ( i will probably be eaten alive for this comment) I would say it is the thing man in his natural state hates the most about God...His sovereignity.
