Christians: Is King Tut In Hell?

Since he was taught to revere Ra, Isus and Anubis, should he have to go to Hell just because no one taught him about God?

Update:

Tut didn't know that the 10 Commandments existed. He didn't know that a Jewish God existed. He lived his short life worshipping the gods I mentioned above. How could he go to Hell if didn't know anything about God?

Update 2:

It's a copout to say that only God knows.

    Tutankhamen was not unmasked recently, the golden mask was removed many eyars before due to the significance and value of the gold and lapis death mask. Archaeologist removed some of the wrappings to try to get a clearer picture of how Tutankhamen died and lived. They removed the body to help preserve it against pollution from enviroment and from human beings. The carbon dioxide that you emit while leaning over to look at tut's mummy is actually destroying it. Egyptian Pharos wanted their bodies preserved so they could live on in the afterlife, this is just another way for him to live on. Plenty of pharos and queens have been moved in ancient and modern times to protect them from natural disasters, political upheaval, and from building projects. What the modern day Egyptian board of antiquities is doing is really not that different than what these pharos wanted. Zahwi is also using this as a way to increase tourism, but really who can blame him? Egypt is a country in need of the money from their tourism. By your reasoning we should take Lindow man from the climate controll and preservation of the british museum and put him back in the peat bog where they found him.

    No actually king Tut was buried under another Pharaoh where no one could find him, He was excepted into the afterlife(there is supposed to be a legend where when ur dead (as an egyptian) the underworld takes ur heart and put it on a scale w/ a feather, and if the heart weighs more than the feather, you have a heavy heart and you are unexcepted and ur soul is taken). King Tut was the youngest of all Pharaohs, started ruling @ age of nine!!

    Actually King Tut's father was the first Pharoah to do away with polytheism and believe in one God. So at least he did know about Monotheism.

    No Christian can righfully tell someone they are going to hell it is purely God's choice we can not make that determination.

    It is not a cop out to say only God knows only he knows what will happen and that is the truth if you think the truth is a cop out that is just your opinion.

    Source(s): Went to see Tut's tomb in Chicago when I was 12 and have been studying him for 30 years.

    It's not a copout to say that only God knows because only God knows. Atheists are always saying they don't think it's a Christian's place to tell them they are going to Hell and I agree with that. It is not my place to say anyone, including King Tut, is going to Hell.

    God is both merciful and just and will decide where Tutankhamen and all others will spend eternity. It is not a Christian's place to speculate on any individual's destiny. I trust God to do right.

    Add--Okay, Kris, then I'll say *I* don't know. The Bible says that God looks upon the heart, and we are each accountable to God for doing and believing right as much as has been revealed to us to do and believe right. So even though he didn't know the Abrahamic God, he would, in his own religious traditions, had some awareness of God. In that tradition, was he just? faithful? honest? Was his heart pure?

    I can't know that. But that's how I believe--based on reading the Scripture--that God deals with those who never had the opportunity to know the full message of the gospel. To me that's a more correct Christian stance than consigning everybody to hell.

    Never really thought about it. Not sure. That's for God to decide. I like to think that he's not in hell, but made his peace with God, that he's in heaven. I think it would be great because he could tell people his story back then and what we can learn from it. But that's only if paradise is in Heaven. Paradise might be somewhere else.

    Acts 24:15 Contemporary English Version

    15I am just as sure as these people are that God will raise from death everyone who is good or evil.

    Acts 24:15 New American Standard

    15having a hope in God, which (A)these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

    Revelation 20:13, 14 NAS

    13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and (AT)death and Hades (AU)gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them (AV)according to their deeds.

    14Then (AW)death and Hades were thrown into (AX)the lake of fire This is the (AY)second death, the lake of fire.

    (Hades is translated hell in KJV and some other Bibles).

    Rev. 20:5 NAS

    5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. (Q)This is the first resurrection.

    Yes, King Tut (and many others) are in the grave, the Bible's hell and will get out of it to learn....then hell is destroyed in the lake of fire when it is emptied and no one will ever be put in hell again as it will no longer exist.

    The wicked are shown favor by bringing them back to earth to learn, but many will refuse.

    Isaiah 26: NAS

    9(R)At night my soul longs for You,

    Indeed, my spirit within me (S)seeks You diligently;

    For when the earth experiences Your judgments

    The inhabitants of the world (T)learn righteousness.

    10Though the wicked is shown favor,

    He does not (U)learn righteousness;

    He (V)deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,

    And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD.

    There is ONLY one unpardonable sin, sin against the holy spirit. It cannot be forgiven in this world, nor in the world to come (righteous new earth).

    Matthew 12: KJV

    31Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

    32And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

    All other sins, can be forgiven. So only willful deliberate going against the holy spirit or telling untruth when you have the holy spirit, is unpardonable. Everyone else comes back to earth during the thousand years.

    Hebrews 6:4-6, 10:26, 29, Rev. 20:5.

    Ra, Isus, Abubis. Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit. Sounds like the same pagan stuff to me

    King tut has not decomposed properly. He has not contributed to this earth. If there is a Hell, he is there for that fact alone. Royalty is no excuse.
