I habe some difficulty in replying right now due to writing from a phone with some limitations, but I’ll do what I can. To go back to the beginning, you have expressed, it seems, that people might be justified before God outisde of faith in Jesus by their works. You haven’t said, it seems, if you would include those who’ve heard the Gospel with those who never have, but on the latter, you’ve talked about them being able to fulfill Christ’s new law of loving others.
If we’re talking of people who don’t know of Christ, how will they fulfill that? When I asked you to define love you merely said it was love, and also defined it from what Jesus said. But people who haven’t heard the Gospel don’t know how Jesus defined love. (Cont’d)
Paul explained that in Romans 2:12-15, which I posted earlier (twice.)
>>>When I asked you to define love you merely said it was love, and also defined it from what Jesus said.<<<
Yes, that is what I said.
>>>But people who haven’t heard the Gospel don’t know how Jesus defined love.<<<
Paul indicated it didn't matter whether they had heard the Gospel, or not, if the law of the Lord was written in their hearts (by nature, he explained.) Please go back and re-read Romans 2:12-15. Until you understand that passage, I don't believe you will understand anything else I have written on the subject.
