Bible Note: "I disagree...before Christ there were no righteous people." Then you must reconcile this passage satisfactorily:Rev. 20:12 NASB '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.' These are the ones, those who did righteous deeds that the blood Christ will redeem. This will testify to the acripture that man is without excuse and God rewards those who see Him in the Earth through the various means He has provided and who, as a consequence of seeing, live their lives accordingly. The Grace of God can't be so narrow as to not include them because they never heard the name of Jesus. No! Their names will be in the book of life. Furthermore this is the main reason for evangelism, i.e., to preach the gospel of the good news of the kingdom of God to "bring many sons into glory" and NOT to get people saved who already sense there is a God but to explain Him [God] that they might come into the more perfect way of believing in Him. Buy the book "Bruchco". The young man Bruce Olsen who went to SA and to the Mantalone indian tribe. It will explain a lot of what I'm referring to. Your references having to with sending a preacher has to do more with the preaching of the kingdom of God they hope for because they already see God [in nature] and need to have closure in the matter of how to attain entrance into eternal life with Him. Re-read all that you just posted to me in the light of Rev 20.12. Don't let it mean it was for those who died with the promise of Messiah. They had preachers and plenty of them. Many had God Himself. |
