Bible Question (short): God's fair standards to judge evildoers |
Question (full): John 5:28-29 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment." Many say Moses' Law will be used to judge those who died without hearing the Gospel. But Moses' Law was given only to Israelis. Even their contemporaries or enemies such as Canaanites, Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, and Hittites never heard of the Law. So, it seems very unfair to judge them by the Law. My question is by what "fair" standards those who died without hearing Moses' Law before or after Jesus came to earth to preach the Gospel will be judged for their having done good or evil? |
