Subject: What about those who never heard of JC ? |
Bible Note: Bob: Thanks for your post. There is no support for inclusivism in the Bible. It is a speculative view from some Arminians who do not want to accept that God passes over some. While I don't think that your choice of words is terribly charming, the Incas and other precolombian civilizations were made up of sinners who died without a saving knowledge of Christ. Romans 1-3 tells us that creation reveals God's attributes and that all human beings are imbued with a moral sense (conscience) whic testifies to God's law. It also tells us that in our sinfulness we have suppressed that truth in unrighteousness. No one seeks after God; all have gone astray. That revelation from nature and conscience condemns us, rather than saves us. Scripture clearly atests that Christ is the only way to God (John 14:6; Acts 4:12) and that faith comes only by hearing the word of God proclaimed (Romans 10:14-17). Therefore, we indeed have thousands of years of people going to hell. Time to get out there and proclaim the truth, because we are God's appointed means to bring people to Christ. --Joe! |
