Subject: What about those who have never heard? |
Bible Note: Dear Robert, You said: "I was not suggesting that the great multitude was Israel or the Church. But rather a great mulitude from every nation which God by his grace has saved." The Church is the Body of Christ. Is Christ divided? Are some saved through the ministry of Christ, while others are saved by some other means? The very idea is preposterous! Pehaps your view that God has two plans (one for Israel and another for the Church) has led you to this conclusion. I strongly disagree with dispansationalism. Paul in romans 11 presents Israel and the Church as one olive tree. All who by faith belive are the children of Abraham. John |
