1 | God's fair standards to judge evildoers | John 5:28 | srbaegon | 232637 | ||
Hi, The answer to the question is no. Paul makes this plain: Rom 10:12-17 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?... So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. John does as well: John 3:18 Whoever believes in him (i.e., Jesus) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. Steve |

Steve I'm a little lost in your answer NO please forgive me. I asked if it was possible to worship God and to live as righteous as humanly possible (we all sin and fall short) and to have never heard of Jesus. You I think said "no", then you cite Paul where he says we must go preach. Was not Paul talking about righteous men that had not yet heard of Jesus Christ? Let us make an example, let us say you are and Ethopian Jew you live a very righteous life as a Jew you await the Messiah. However your are isolated and happen to die in 60 AD long after Jesus emptied Abraham's bosom but before you ever of heard of what took place in Israel during he life of Jesus' ministry, His death and resurrection. In other words you were looking for the Messiah but you hadn't yet heard of Jesus Christ. Surely you believe that scenario is possible? If you do then do we know how God deals with this man? Please cite scripture. |
