Here it is again: Post 153 Romans 1 teaches plainly that all men can know certain things about God and His character from nature, and that those things are plain, evident and unmistakeable. The problem with those who "never heard of Christ" is the same problem with those who HAVE heard of Christ...., we don't like the idea of being eternally accountable. The scripture teaches that we deliberately suppress the innate (built in) and extant (available for viewing) evidence for a holy creator God, whether it is some Hotentot in S. Africa or some modern American who has an abundannce of knowledge available.
Those who "have never even heard of Jesus Christ" have light like a weak flashlight. Those who hear the good news of Christ's death for sinners are like those standing in Madison Square Garden before a bank of Hi intensity lights. Men are not judged on HOW MUCH light they have, but WHAT THEY DO with the light they have.
The testimony of scripture and experience is that men universally turn away from the true God, and either worship themselves, their pleasures, or false religions.
THAT is what men are judged for (See Romans 1-2 for a more detailed explanation)
Can't you give a straight answer to a straight question? Will all these people go to hell if they don't accept JC as their personal saviour?
Jews and Muslims worship God the Father, does that count or is JC the lynchpin?
Do all Jews, Hindus, Muslims, followers of all eastern religions, tribesman in Africa, Central and South America, Eskimos, South Pacific Islanders...not to mention the millions and millions of people who died before Jesus was born, do they ALL go to hell because they haven't or even had the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior?
is "yes", they are doomed to eternal torture. Correct?
