Bible Question (short): What about those who have never heard of |
Question (full): I know this topic is old, but... What about those who have never heard of Christ? Where is Gods mercy in eternal damnation of a people for the traditions of their fathers? John 3:5, "... Except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Baptism is manditory... what about those people who were in natural practice, better Christians than you or I, if given the chance to hear of Christ and be baptised, if they would have, why would they be damned for not performing the manditory ordinance when God, in His infinant wisdom prepares a way for all... "If the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?" It's a question answered with another question... "If there is no ressurection?" "Then why is there baptism for the dead?" It's pretty self explanitory... One thing to remember, God is not the authory of confusion, Christs teachings are more meaningful if using commonsense in reading |
