How could they ask for forgiveness if they KNEW NOT WHAT THEY DID?

Are you factoring in the fact that Jesus was still alive at this point and had not yet died and washed away the sins of the world? Jesus also asked in the garden for the cup to be taken from Him if it was the Father's will, but it was not the Father's will.

I don't really understand your question. But I think I've made my points. And the main point is that whoever is saved is saved by Jesus and no one else. Some are fortunate enough to have been raised on the gospel. Some never hear it at all. Some hear it and don't get it. Some are told from the time of their birth that it is false and God will be angry with them if they adhere to it. (That is conditioning that may very hard to overcome for some and not hard for others) Some hear the gospel and decide they do not want to follow it because they love thier sins and do not want to give them up. God knows who's who and what's what. His justice is perfect.

Christians are especially blessed. And yet "To whom more is given, more will be required." So we Christians should not be smug about who is going where and who is going to be saved.

OH BROTHER. Just when I find a post with some attitude and righteous anger, here comes the religious scholars to throw cold water on the party.

REALLY, Freepers, must we allow these stuffy academics to destroy every thread? It's getting old already.
