1 | Will unbelievers be raised from Sheol? | Rev 21:8 | EdB | 32016 | ||
Joe I can agree with everything you said but then I come to Luke 12:47-48 And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. [48] But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more. I just can't get that line drawn in the sand. EdB |

2 | Will unbelievers be raised from Sheol? | Rev 21:8 | Reformer Joe | 32055 | ||
Well, the Luke passage is a tricky one to figure out. I do think we should look at it a little more to see if we can wisely identify who each of the three servants represent. Perhaps we can get some comment from others on the forum rgarding their take on Luke 12:47-48. However, I think that the best rules of biblical interpretation call for letting the clearer passages of Scripture help us to interpret correctly the more difficult to understand. For me, Luke 12 falls toward the latter catergory. However, coming back to Romans 1, I do not see how Paul could have been any clearer in his assessment of why all men are without excuse. Whomever the servants represent in Luke's parable, it would be a contradiction in Scripture to say that there is some excuse that the unevangelized would have when they stand before God in His holiness. By the way, I do appreciate these discussions, Ed! --Joe! |
