Bible Note: Hi, Doc! If I get you correctly... no one unless the Gospel is preached to them can get to know God? And from the post (151940) cited I gathered that all are sinners will die according to their sins... and only those who believe in Christ will be save according to God's mercy... so there's a limitation to God?... I mean according to the material presented, a death mute who lives in the wilderness of say Peru, Latin America, will surely die because God is not able to teach his/her spirit about Jesus... The fact is that God's Spirit saves! It is He whom Jesus sent from the Father... and there's nothing that can keep the Holy Spirit from teaching a human heart, mind and sprit! I live in one of the wealthiest nations in the world... perhaps the greatest producer/disseminator of the Bible in the world, and in spite of that catchy phrase on the currency... many boast of not only not believing but defying God! Surely, these people have rejected the Holy Spirit... but even them are wanted by God for He desires that none shall perish! Should we be more concern with the fate of a fictitious character or the reality our individual/collective failure to bring Christ to the world through personal witnessing (love one another...) ...part of our Christian obligation is to pray that the message of Christ is brought to all men (including those instances when some may be ignorant of Christ).
