Bible Note: YOu refer to brother Beja's exposition of Romans 1:18-32 and I agree it was excellent. However Romans 1:18-32 does not address the case of the righteous Jew that is in fact looking for the Messiah, has not created an idol, nor has he denied God. He simply is not aware that the Messiah Jesus Christ did in fact live and die and was resurrected. That news had not reached him before his own death. I believe if he had died before Jesus he would have gone to Abraham Bosom to await the Messiah to come to him and preach the "Good News" and to carry him home. However Abraham's Bosom is now empty so he can't go there. And because he hasn't yet called upon the name of Jesus for Salvation he still has sins. So upon his death how does God deal with this man? Please cite scripture. |
