"To me, this says that even the *tribals* will hear the Voice of Christ on Judgment Day, and will thus have the opportunity to embrace or deny Christ — and be judged saved or condemned accordingly."

I think we have a pretty good hint of that sort of scenerio in: John 4: 9-29

Particularly verse 4: 22: "Ye worship ye know not what, but..." ~ Jesus

God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

I gather this is the part that JCB and kosta don't get. Or perhaps I should say, this is what they uniformly, stubbornly deny.

They say: There is no Spirit; there is no Truth. In their own minds, this gets them "off the hook." :^)

They say in their hearts: There is no God. They will brook no challenge to this opinion of theirs....

Thanks so much for writing, dear brother in Christ!
