Subject: people who have never heard the Gospel ? |
Bible Note: Hello Brad: Could you tell us what "universal salvation" is? I am guessing it is a teaching that everyone will be saved. I did not understand Danny to say that. What he seems to be saying is that there is universal access to the plan of salvation, and that everyone has a chance to be saved. I believe there is much support for that in Scripture, as shown in some of the posts above. The point that Danny made, that Jesus went and preached to the people in Noah’s day is clearly made by Peter, and has been referenced in this thread, I think. The statement: "It really wouldn’t be fair to condemn someone just because they never had the chance to believe" does not seem to be an attack on God at all. I do not hear Danny saying that God condemns people who have not had a chance to believe. On the contrary, he is saying that God is just and does not do that, that the situation does not arise, because God makes sure everyone has a chance to believe. I hope this is not being questioned again because we have dealt with it at length. But we can deal with any issues that have not been resolved. But again, on that doctrine: I have never heard anyone to preach a doctrine of universal salvation. If you have, please tell who holds that doctrine and exactly what it says. |
