Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: The end will not come untill the bible is preached around the whole world. So everywone will have the oppertunity to know the truth and be given a chance to except christ. In addition if somewone has not ben baptized yet don't mean that they won't be excpted into heven. Rember, the man next to Jesus on the cross was a siner and had never had the oppertunity to be babtized, However Jesus sead you will be with me in heaven today. God knows the heart and that is what he looks at. |
