Bible Question:
There are a lot of people who did not know Jesus and did not accept Him as Savior and Lord. Where are those people, they did not have the chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ? surely I think they will go to hell, from biblical perpesctives, Jesus is the only way, life and truth. some people think they will go to heaven because they believe in this verse,God takes into account the time of ignorance. what is your response? thank |
Bible Answer: Hi, spirit :: Thanks for your question. BradK has cited several passages from God's word that make it clear that there is salvation in no other than Jesus Christ. The only point I wish to emphasize is that whatever man may opine about salvation (or any other theological matter) does not change what God has said in His word -- not one whit. And we who read His word must be always on guard lest we read into it what it does not say (a faulty way of interpretation called eisegesis). It's easy enough to engage in wishful thinking. That's a human weakness that comes naturally to most of us, but it can lead to all sorts of error when we try to mix our own wishful thinking with what Scripture teaches. It won't work. It's like trying to mix oil and water. ...... You asked the question, "What is your response?" I rather wish you'd asked, "What does the Bible teach?" But I'll answer your question in this way: My response is that we should always go by what the Bible teaches and never by what man thinks, believes, says, or feels about any spiritual matter. --Hank |
