NASB | Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 1:20 For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense. [Ps 19:1-4; Eph 2:10] |
Bible Question:
Could you inform me what happened to the multitude of people that died without ever been able to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ through all these centuries since the Gospel was first preached? Is it fair? |
Bible Answer: wry, We know that God is just and merciful. Fair is a "soft" word the meaning of which is very subjective. The plain fact is, we do not know whom God has saved and whom he has not saved. That is His business. Our business is to be about the job He gave to us: to preach the good news (not the bad news). The three theological, Godly, Gospel, Good News, virtues are FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY. "848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."
