Bible Question (short): How deep can the Gospel go |
Question (full): AO, The problem would be for those who are faithfull to all these evidences about God, to find Him in Christ if they are immersed in cultures that are deeply religious in ways that contradict the Gospel. Like some Muslim teenagers that are conditioned to be bombers and think that Allah is God and die as suicide bombers. For me, no matter how much these fanatics would try to conceive God in their minds, they would have this strong cultural element to force them to see reality and God from a very narrow point of view. And emotional conditioning is a strong element in forming consciousness. I wonder if these suicide bombers, dying as young people, could ever get to know God. And there are inummerable Muslims in the world. Just to give one illustration. How deep can the Gospel go if it is the only means of salvation? Thank you, Finder |
