Subject: What does Romans 2:12 mean? |
Bible Note: Hello Henry and Emmy, I agree that creation gives the knowledge of God and that rejecting that revelation dooms a person. No question there. You said: "It says HE died once for ALL, so there is no exception." On the surface I agree (see 1 Peter 3:18). You also said: "whose offer of salvation is open to ALL." What does Scripture say? John 5:24 (ESV) Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 6:44-45 (ESV) No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. [45] It is written in the Prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. The only way to the Jesus is by HEARING the word of God. If it was not so, the Great Commission becomes only a very bad joke. Lastly, we have NO Biblical examples of any person being saved without God's special revelation of Himself to that person. Steve |
