Bible Question:
Ken, a disclaimer PLEASE! At the end of YOUR last post to me, you signed MY name! In light of what you have written, much of which I disagree, I would ask for a reposted rely with YOUR name attached. Thank you. You wrote: "Suppose one lives a blameless life without the written law to guide him or the knowledge of Jesus who saves him, what do you think his punishment should be?" First of all, NO ONE except Jesus CHrist has lived a blameless life. Again, God's Word tells us ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) - no one can measure up to God's Holy standard. What part of ALL do you not understand. Romans 1 tells us plainly that men are without excuse. I understand your angst over this with regard to the untold millions who have never heard the Gospel, but who are YOU to argue with what God has declared? You wrote: "many have died [maybe billions] without ever hearing His name who lived blameless lives, what about them?" Again ALL have sinned - no one but Jesus Christ is blameless; men are without excuse. You wrote: "Where there is no law sin [the penalty for being born in it] is NOT imputed." (Where does Scripture say this is so? pbs) You wrote: "if they never hear the word....And if when they do, accept it WE are to make disciples of them....not gettum saved... the assumption should be that they already are so" Already saved? WHERE do you find this in God's Word? Maybe I am reading a faulty translation but I am stuggling to find it anywhere! No, you are NOT clear on this. First you claim that there are those who are blameless and then you write that those who have never heard the Word are already saved. . . . Please support your beliefs with Scripture. In Christ, mommapbs |
Bible Answer: Rev. 20:12 (NASB-U) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. What book will your name be written in and why? |
