1 | Die without the revelation of the Gospel | Acts 17:30 | Finder | 180820 | ||
I read a book about Hudson Taylor and his missionary work in China where a Buddhist who converted to Christ asked Mr. Taylor why they had not arrived while his father was alive. How could the father and grandfather of this ex-Buddhist have been saved? I also read "Eternity in their Hearts" where the author points out that if the peoples that don't have access to the gospel are faithfull to the light they have, the gospel would be presented to them. But it didn't prove true concerning the previous generations of any of those groups. Their fathers, grandfathers and greatgrandfathers also died without hearing the gospel. Would it be just a circumstancial problem because there were no missionaries, or this is a case of flat predestination? How could the ones that are not reached with the message be morally accoutable to a message they never heard? Billy Graham and the Catholics say that those who are sincere and live according to the best light they have, above the level of lifestyle of their surroundings, will be granted salvation in Jesus Christ. They say that in many tribes they don't know the name of Christ but believe in Him by the way they respond to life and nature around them. Could this then be true that these peoples are saved without ever hearing the message of the Gospel? If you don't have the answers, could you refer to me those who would have them? Thank you, Finder |

Dear Finder, Christianity is entirely exclusive. The Bible offers no other hope to anyone outside of Christ atonement alone, through faith alone, by grace alone. There is no truth to universalism, syncretism, or pluralism. Here's an artice you might find pertinent on the topic: http://www.modernreformation.org/mh06excuse.htm In Him, Doc |

3 | Isn't reality more difficult than that | Acts 17:30 | Finder | 180967 | ||
Doc, That is the easy part to understand. The difficult one is the unfair side of the whole situation. When innumerable peoples die without a chance to know and understand about this exclusivism. Thank you, Finder (Still trying to find) |

Dear Finder, Unfairness is a matter of human interpretation. Our sense of justice is faulty because of our own limitations. We defer to the only perfeclty qualified Judge, the Lord God Himself. He defines fairness. Read Romans 9. The wonder of redemption is not that some are not saved, but that any are saved! In Him, Doc |
