Bible Question: Thank God for His (2 Peter 3:9) "long suffering" toward us. Surly it is by His grace we have hope. The question was about those who have never had a chance to reject His salvation, they have never come to "know" Him. I know we must be called first, we then come to "know" Christ and "the way" to salvation. I bring this up because of whats happening in the middle east. These suicide bombers have been taught from the time they have been little children to hate Israel and the western way, they have been taught a very radical veiw of Islam. They have never had a chance to come to know Christ as you or I have. Do you think you or I, brought up in those same circumstances, would choose Christ? I don't think so. |
Bible Answer: Hi Arnie you ask the hardest question of today! I pray for wisdom about it and know where to find the answer but haven't anything yet except this. It is interesting that the koran quotes the bible but the bible never quotes the koran. What I see is that this conflict began when Sarah and Abraham tried to MAKE god's plan happen instead of waiting on His timeing-Gen. 16-God made a promise to Hagar vss 11-12- He also promised Abraham regarding Ishmael- Gen. 17 :18-20. God has fullfilled these promises. In some things we must trust that God is in control and walk by faith in Him. In this matter-that is all I can do.in Him angel1 |
