Bible Question: I would like to know about the souls of the people that lived on the earth in the time of Jesus, and before and after as well, but did not know who he was. At the time of Jesus, there were people all over the world. They were worshipping sticks, smoke, clouds and all sorts of "things". They had no knowledge of God of the Bible,no knowledge of Jesus or anything that was going on in the Middle East, but they had a "God" of some sort. This is my biggest stumbling block! (One pastors comment was that "they are LOST. God doesnt have to give them anything.") I thought that was brutally harsh. So what of all those millions that were hangin out well before Jesus time. |
Bible Answer: This is an often asked question on this forum and if you would do some searches you would find some interesting discussions. There are many opinions but few real conclusive pieces of evidence that tells us the answer to this question. Two things to keep in mind God has told us repeatedly he is fair and just. God has told us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. We can't get anyone saved they must do it themselves. And we shouldn't let the adversary Satan plant doubts about God's fairness in our minds. |
