NASB | Proverbs 24:12 If you say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts? And does He not know it who keeps your soul? And will He not render to man according to his work? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 24:12 If you [claim ignorance and] say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs and examines the hearts and their motives? And does He not know it who guards your life and keeps your soul? And will He not repay [you and] every man according to his works? |
Subject: What about those who never hear gospel? |
Bible Note: I see no contradiction. I have never once seen a contradiction in the sinfulness of man and the fact that he can attempt to be moral and choose to do well. That fact does not make him innocent or make up for the wrongs he has done or will do. I never even heard of another idea (man can't choose) until I had been a committed christian for over 5 years. Not until I met a Calvanist did I know anyone thought that way. And he was a drinker, so I never gave it much thought. My point is you have to be trained by other men to think in terms of men not being able to choose to do well. They have still all failed. |
