Bible Question: Will every man be hear the gospel and be given an opportunity to choose before Christ's return? Why does he say we are chosen if he is impartial? |
Bible Answer: Hi Psalmist: Welcome to the forum! Those are tough questions! But good questions... Ironically, Psalmist, I believe at least part of the answer may be in Psalms. God reveals his Glory to mankind through what is called "General Revelation" i.e. "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands." Ps 19:1 The Bible, God's Word, is in the realm of what is called "Special Revelation" It is God's love-letter to mankind. And we are indeed commanded by the Lord to take it's massage of salvation the whole Earth. "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Mark16:15 I believe the Gospel is being preached in all the world, maybe not in all languages yet, but it's getting closer to that high mark all the time. It has been translated into literately hundreds of languages and dialects throughout the world. You know I don't know how God will deal with the man who has never had the opportunity to hear His Word. But I'd rather be in his shoe's on the day of judgment then, the man who has sat in a pew for years and years hearing the word and, not done anything about it. :-( Why does he say we are chosen if he is impartial? I don't think He gave us the answer to that one. God bless John |
