Bible Note: Hi Doc, Isaiah 54:13, Jeremiah 31:34, and Micah 4:2 are all forward looking prophecies, pertaining to the NT. All the other Scriptures you gave are NT proclamations. Nothing to do with OT. You wrote: "Again, the very same question is before us as was before our first parents. Will we believe the Word of God? The issue has not changed." That is unbecoming Doc! We are here to learn, not to throw innuendos. The only verses I can think of right now about OT judgment are: Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law; Rom 2:13 for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: Rom 2:14 (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves; Rom 2:15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them); Rom 2:16 in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ. I do not see any Scripture that says the OT people had to receive Christ to be saved. terrib |
