1 | Is God really just? | Deut 32:4 | EdB | 30624 | ||
Lionstrong Again I do not know how God will handle people that never heard the gospel. Hoiwever Romans does tell us nature even confesses there is a God and implies God has this handled. Let's get back to the point. If I'm hearing you right your saying justice is served because the price of sin has been paid either by Christ at the cross or by the sinner at the judgement seat. I will agree with that. Explain once more how only offering salvation through Christ to some is just for all. If you happen to be one that didn't have Christ offered to you I think as you stood before the judgement seat you might ask "why wasn't He offered to me?" How salvation works is a wonder. Each time I witness a new salvation I'm thrilled as to how it did happen. I usually try to interview the new convert and without fail their story shows a wonderful miracle of God has just taken place. After having done this for a number of years, of this I’m sure. The explanations offered by either Calvin or Armianus fall far short of what took place. Each time two thoughts come to the surface, “I don’t know why” but “I had to make the choice”. I see salvation a combination of election and free choice . That said, for God to be just I see the need to offer salvation to all not just the elect. EdB |

2 | Is God really just? | Deut 32:4 | Norrie | 30656 | ||
Ed, I just copied this yesterday on another forum. It is from one of Pat Robertson's books answers questions on Bible: Q How can God send people who never heard of Christ to hell? A God does not send people to hell because they have never heard of Christ. He sends people to hell because they sinned. The judgment for sin will be in relationship to how much they knew. To phrase it another way, it is action in light of privledge. A person living in America has maximum spiritual privledge. Therefore the spiritual standard for America would be the gospel of Jesus and everything in the Old and New Testaments. But someone who grew up in an uncivilized jungle might be held to account for the fact that something in his conscience told him there was a creator worthy of his worship. The Bible says that his conscience will either accuse him or excuse him on the day of Jesus Christ. (Rom 2:14-16) God is not going to comdemn people if their own consciences excuse them. Regretfully, every human being has sinned against his or her own conscience. God does not judge people for failure to believe in Jesus but because they are sinners. The problem is that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Rom 3:23) For those who have received Jesus Christ as Savior, there will be forgiveness and mercy. |
