Yes, but they had tiny numbers of even nominal Christians over the centuries vs Europeans.
Why did such an extremely high percentage of Asians in particular choose to burn forever?
I can’t know what motivates your question. My answer for my own fallenness is a firm “let God be true and every man a liar”. I agree with God against myself. Beautiful truth is that He swore BY HIMSELF (Who cannot lie) an oath that resulted in eternal salvation for any human being who comes to Him through Christ.
Why did so many Asians refuse his offer? Why did so many Kens? But you are alive, praise God, so BELIEVE in the ONE HE SENT!
Why do you assume that these Asian millions are choosing to burn? A man chooses to be damned only when he has had the Gospel of Christ fairly presented to him and then consciously rejects it despite the opportunity to understand and believe. The vast majority of these people have not heard the Gospel preached. They are raised in complete ignorance of Christ and His sacrifice for us. The Lord will judge each of is by the Luther we have been given, so the man who was raised in a North Korean concentration camp and never saw beauty or human compassion can’t be held to the same standard as someone who had the grace of a sweet, safe, loving Western childhood with exposure to God’s Word and to many blessings.
