1 | What about the unreacheed peoples? | Rom 10:17 | disciplerami | 76593 | ||
Hi Searcher, Can you 'hear' me? ;) "What about those who never heard.." What about 'em? Do you have a point? Oh,...I get it, you are still insisting--contrary to what Paul says in Romans 1--that some people hear nothing. I'm curious, does that mean they 'hear' nothing of God until the judgment day. And do you believe they hear nothing because, a)they have stopped their own ears, or b) God stopped their ears? I would say they heard, but didn't like what they heard, and so they closed their ears (Matthew 13:15). I don't suppose you will answer my questions. -Huckleberryami |

2 | What about the unreacheed peoples? | Rom 10:17 | Searcher56 | 76614 | ||
There are people who never have heard. The Huaoranis didn't hear until people named Elliot, Fleming, McCully, Saint and Youderian went. | ||||||

Thank you for the response. What shall we conclude from these facts? It seems apparent to us that these people for many ages did not hear of the saving grace of God. Therefore all who lived in those places during that time of darkness were lost. Perhaps an entire culture of people were in a self-imposed darkness, perhaps they 'heard' of the essential truths of God revealed in nature and rejected them. If this is true, then God would not both with taking the next step of providentially bringing the Gospel to their region. The Gospel is powerful, intrinsically so, but even if it had been preached to the people you've listed, it would have been rejected because they rejected the more basic truths which underly the Gospel. Am I making any sense here? Here's my point put another way. If a culture puts a high premium on eating their neighbors brains, it is not likely that they will put a high premium on a Gospel of 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' Is this moral law evident to them? Of course it is. Like C.S. Lewis spoke of, the thief understands the principle because he doesn't want anyone to steal his belongings. So the headhunters KNOW right and wrong and have chosen the wrong. God doesn't waste his valuable resources of sending missionaries to them until they are at a point to hear it. That's my take on the issue. Good day. Huckleberryami |

4 | What about the unreacheed peoples? | Rom 10:17 | Searcher56 | 76743 | ||
They SAW "the essential truths of God revealed in nature" ... they did not HEAR. Do you know the difference between SAW and HEAR? |

Do you have a point? | ||||||
6 | Can you hear what you see or heard? | Rom 10:17 | Searcher56 | 76750 | ||
My point is that you think that you can hear without an ear. People don't hear with their eyes. Read above hearing ... what is told. Do you understand? |

I hear what you are saying. And I think you hear too. So why can't we agree that HEARING is necessary even if the initial message is HEARD in the Creation. Psalm 19:1 "THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING OF THE GLORY OF GOD; AND THEIR EXPANSE IS DECLARING THE WORK OF HIS HANDS." Surely, you can no longer persist in this. Paul says in Romans 1, 'they are without excuse.' The reason is because they cannot say they did not know, they did not hear. Good day. |
