Bible Answer: I'm not exactly sure what you're saying and if there's a specific question but I'll take a shot and respond. I do sincerely think God intended for His Word to be spread throughout the whole world as indicated in the Great Commission to the Lord's disciples who later became Apostles. However, there is provision for without the words of our God as cited in Romans, Chapter 2. 12All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) 16This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. Apparently, our God, the perfect Judge will judge us according to how well we listen to our conscience, our soul which is the image of God installed in all of us, since creation. So, if we've heard of Jesus and His Father as mentioned in the Bible, then we really should feel compelled to check out the whole story and make up our minds. If, on the other hand, a person dies, never having heard the name of Jesus and doesn't know a single thing about the Bible, then it seems pretty clear that God will judge that person without the words found therein. Again, that simply means he'll be judged by how well he or she obeyed his conscience. I'm a firm believer that all human beings (with the possible exception of a few mentally handicapped) are born with a good and functioning conscience. It tells us when we do the right thing or when we do wrong. If a person lives a good life, abiding by the normal morals of his world, to the best of his ability, asking forgiveness to the God that whispers His existance in all hearts, how can we see such a person go anywhere but Heaven. You may ask about all those other religions, such as Jewish, Islamic, Hinduism, Buddism and all the many others. Ultimately, I would reserve that kind of judgement (without knowledge of Bible) to our God. He'll make those tough decisions; I'm thankful you and I won't be making them. I would be very interested in see more discussion on this topic or maybe you may have some other question in mind. God bless. |
