1 | verse explains nonChrist knowing savior | 2 Cor 5:15 | jaydnson | 178212 | ||
I understand that once you are exposed to the idea or belief that the way to salvation is thru Jesus Christ, if that is known to you. If you have never had the opportunity to be taught about Jesus Christ and turn your life over to Jesus Christ, like millions of Chinese, South Africans and so on, then what? I read that God does not hold you accountable of salvation thru Christ if you don't know these laws or teachings. That God will not hold you accountable for laws you have never been told. God does however hold you accountalbe to the laws of his world. And if you live a decent life, (not knowing of Chirst), you can still enter the Kingdom. Christ died for all mankind, not just for the believers in him, because not everyone will know of him before they die. And the sins of Adam and Eve and all mankind remained on the cross after Jesus died on the cross for our sins. | ||||||

jaydnson - You wrote, "I read that God does not hold you accountable of salvation thru Christ if you don't know these laws or teachings...And if you live a decent life (not knowing Christ) you can still enter the kingdom." ..... Since this is, after all, a study Bible forum, please tell the forum on what verse(s) of what chapter(s) of what book(s) of the Bible you base your statements. ..... Surely they can't be based on Acts 4:12 which says, "And there is salvation in no one else [but Christ], for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." .... Nor on the words of Christ in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.'" ..... And not on Ephesians 2:8,9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." And, again, you could not have based your conclusions on John 3:18, "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." ..... --Hank | ||||||
