Will you please quit over-dramatizing the topic? Nobody has even come close to suggesting these wild-eyed notions.
This is what you are saying.
Putting words in our mouths again?
You are saying God cannot reveal His Son to everyone. That he can only get to a handful because He has a busy schedule, so those He doesn't reach have an immunity clause.
You are saying that God's grace is limited to this world. That is not scriptual.
al_c: In response to your question concerning Sodom. There seems to be a degree of punishment involved here. Just like those who teach will be judged more severely than those who don't, than those who have seen more signs of Christ will be punished more severely. It says that if those in Sodom had seen the signs performed in Capernaum, than that city would have been still standing. So Capernaum has seen more of the revelation of God and yet they still did not repent, so their punishment would be more than that of Sodom's, but Sodom still has no excuse for their sin.
My point exactly! This is an example of the expanse of God's grace toward all mankind. Those with knowledge will be held to a higher degree of responsibility. Those with limited or no knowledge will be held to a lower level. We will all be judged accordingly. Nobody is cut off from the grace of God. Nobody.
