1 | What about those who have never heard of | NT general Archive 1 | Dachande | 98132 | ||
I know this topic is old, but... What about those who have never heard of Christ? Where is Gods mercy in eternal damnation of a people for the traditions of their fathers? John 3:5, "... Except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Baptism is manditory... what about those people who were in natural practice, better Christians than you or I, if given the chance to hear of Christ and be baptised, if they would have, why would they be damned for not performing the manditory ordinance when God, in His infinant wisdom prepares a way for all... "If the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?" It's a question answered with another question... "If there is no ressurection?" "Then why is there baptism for the dead?" It's pretty self explanitory... One thing to remember, God is not the authory of confusion, Christs teachings are more meaningful if using commonsense in reading |

What about those who have never heard of Christ? No one is is either lost or saved apart from God's eternal purpose. Those who never have heard of Christ have not been drawn by God. No one can come to Me (Christ) unless the Father draws them. (John 6) God has not ordained that all shall recieve His mercy. Some do and others don't. Does this seem unfair? See Romans 9. Keep in mind the fact that all who die without Christ are guilty of sin. It is not unfair that lawbreakers are punished for what they have done. God owes man NOTHING! If He chooses to save some and to allow others to die in teir sin, He is pefectly justified in doing just that. "Where is Gods mercy in eternal damnation of a people for the traditions of their fathers?" His mercy cannot be demanded, it is ginen according to His good pleasure. Salvation is by grace and is given for the same reason; It pleased Him so to do.(Rom 9) "One thing to remember, God is not the authory of confusion, Christs teachings are more meaningful if using commonsense in reading" Commonsense is a good thing, but, without the enlightenment of the Spirit man cannot understand His teaching at all.
