1 | Are unbelievers in any way "saved"? | Heb 11:1 | BradK | 118863 | ||
Rowdy, Your words are "I'm saying that the Book of Romans, indeed the whole Bible is written to those who know of its existance and once hearing of its existance, yes they're bound by God to the best of their ability to check it out and see if it's true. Their conscience should tell them they'd better check it just in case they might be held accountable to it." I not only don't fathom what you're saying but it appears to be completely contrary to scripture, my friend! Where does the Bible tells us that it's only written to those who know of it's existence? It doesn't. And, further this does in no way excuse anyone. That is the argument of Romans 1! My point is this: All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God! Mankind is without excuse before God- whether they know of the Bible and it's truth or not! That IS the teaching of Romans 1, Rowdy. Now, if we're stumbling over semantics (which I doubt), then I apologize! However, if what you're maintaining is that some men are WITH excuse because they haven't heard of or read the Bible- then you are sadly bereft in your understanding of Biblical Theology. Now, with that said, which is it that you maintain: 1. All have sinned and are without excuse; 2. All have sinned but have an excuse I'm hoping that I've sucinctly stated the question. We are definitely experiencing a "problem" in our communication.Communication only occures when both parties understand each other. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Rom 2:12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. One last point you didn't address is the scripture above. How do you reconcile your statement with verse 12? But apparently you plan to do just that and somehow explain so I'll move on to my next question. Call me dense but can you please help walk me through Judgment Day and pretend I've lived the best life I could, was basically kind to my neighbors, etc. I was bascially a decent sort of fella and live up to my conscience. HOWEVER, I didn't know a thing about the Bible or any of the concepts of christianity, Jewish religion, nothing at all about organized religion; let's say I lived my whole entire life on a deserted island. Please explain to me the mechanics, step by step of this kind of Justice our Lord will meter out to people like the one I've just described. Remember now, my lack of knowledge of Godly concepts was through no fault of my own. This should be very, very interesting to read. I hope all Forum participants are following closely this thread of conversation. God bless. --Rowdy |

Rowdy, Question answered! I do not wish to repeat myself- with all due respect. Maybe someone else would care to step in here. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
