Subject: The Gospel the sole means of salvation? |
Bible Note: Dear Searcher, I am in complete agreement. No man will be justified by the keeping of the law. The law was given to show how sinful we are. Those who use arguements about "What about the poor native in the jungle who never heard of Jesus etc." are attempting to avoid judgement by implying that God is not just. However, You and I _were_ presented with the Gospel but many, throughout history, have not. Why not? God is certainly able to see to it that ALL are granted the same chance to be saved! Was it just our good fortune? If it is His will that all be saved, why are'nt they ALL given the opportunity? John |
