Bible Question: How about the other sheep that I mentioned in the question? If you were born in a Muslim or Jewish or Budist country, it is likely you will be one! In some cases you would be killed, etc. if you didn't follow Mom and Dad's religion. How about them? Hell for eternity? |
Bible Answer: newoldstock: On no other issue than the way to salvation is the Bible clearer. He who issued the exigent command, "Follow Me" also laid it down unequivocally and unambiguously that He is the only way to salvation. I can think of no other passage in all Scripture that is more direct and clear than John 14:6 in which Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." ...... We can spend all our days asking, "But how about the Muslims or the Buddhists or this or that religion?" and we won't change the incontrovertible truth of Acts 4:12: "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." The evidence of Scripture is overwhelming and the verdict sure: "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasing life...but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." [John 3:16,18]. --Hank |
