Subject: Is God really just? |
Bible Note: Ed, I just copied this yesterday on another forum. It is from one of Pat Robertson's books answers questions on Bible: Q How can God send people who never heard of Christ to hell? A God does not send people to hell because they have never heard of Christ. He sends people to hell because they sinned. The judgment for sin will be in relationship to how much they knew. To phrase it another way, it is action in light of privledge. A person living in America has maximum spiritual privledge. Therefore the spiritual standard for America would be the gospel of Jesus and everything in the Old and New Testaments. But someone who grew up in an uncivilized jungle might be held to account for the fact that something in his conscience told him there was a creator worthy of his worship. The Bible says that his conscience will either accuse him or excuse him on the day of Jesus Christ. (Rom 2:14-16) God is not going to comdemn people if their own consciences excuse them. Regretfully, every human being has sinned against his or her own conscience. God does not judge people for failure to believe in Jesus but because they are sinners. The problem is that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Rom 3:23) For those who have received Jesus Christ as Savior, there will be forgiveness and mercy. |
