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.
“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. “
If this is true then taking the gospel to the ignorant is a criminal act. The majority will reject the offer and now that they are now longer ignorant, they will be condemned to burn for eternity. Whereas before they were safe in their ignorance.
The gospel becomes “bad news” for billions of people who would have been okay had they been left in their ignorance.
