Do You Go to Hell If Youâve Never Heard of Jesus?
When considering the people of the Old Testament before Jesus's coming, we might ask ourselves: "Are those without the knowledge of Jesus destined for eternal damnation?"
And what about those who have never had an opportunity in our day and age to hear the name of Jesus and accept faith? "Where do they go when they die?"
Today, Fr. Mike explores these tough questions, drawing on the sacred scriptures and the church's teachings on salvation.

A Theology of Your Body
Pope John Paul II said that what modern man needsâand is missingâis an "adequate anthropology", or, a full understanding of what it looks like to be human. Over the course of his pontificate, he gave it his best shot using the entirety of scripture, 2,000 years of church teaching, and the latest scientific understandings of the human person.
Today, we call it the Theology of the Body. And it will change the way you look at yourself and your purpose in life.
Fr. Mike Schmitz gives us an introduction to the Theology of the Body and invites us to his 4-part series diving deeper into these incredible mysteries. Sign up for the whole series for FREE here: https://www.ascensionpress.com/tobtalk/
