What Happens To People Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?

[@hags9012]

“And the Gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world,so that all the nations will hear it; Then the end will come”. Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1454">24:14</a>

[@randytrout1241]

According to Colossians 1, Paul said that the Gospel already had been preached to the whole world. at that time, the "whole world" was in reference to the Roman Empire. The Gospel has spread now to the whole globe. Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

If people that never heard of Jesus were going to heaven, the worst thing we could do would be to introduce them to the gospel. David platt said that.. makes perfect sense since we are called to make disciples among the nations...

Leigh McClendon The 'Gospel' is "good news" not "good news if". It's an announcement. We are blessed to hear it. As Christians we are blessed to have realized it (believed it). We are affected whether we hear it or not. As the Angel said: it shall be to all people.

God is love. I believe He will make sure everyone hears the gospel of the kingdom in His time and in His way. Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1454">24:14</a>- And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ( KJV )

[@CC-ee7bj]

With all due respect, what you or I believe is foolishness if it is not based on what is written in scripture. What do the angels in Isaiah 6:3 sing as they fly around the throne of God? "Love, Love, Love is the LORD Almighty"? No. They sing. "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY". Above everything else God is Holy, because He is the one and only true living God and there is none other like Him. All of God's attributes and His character should be viewed in light of His holiness. God's wrath is holy. His justice is holy. His love is holy. His mercy is holy etc. This reminds us that we must not look at God's character or "personality" the same way as we look at our own, because His ways are higher, and not the same as ours (Isaiah 55:8-9) This does not make any sense if you try to make love into God's ultimate attribute. It might work with his grace and mercy but God's wrath is... loving? God's judgement is... loving? God's holiness is... loving? This is why Christians get so confused and get themselves tied into knots trying to explain and understand why God does the things that He does. God will judge us based on the sins we have committed. Since we are ALL wicked sinners, God is perfectly just and righteous to punish us ALL. However, God has freely chosen to show mercy to many and He will save His people. Some of us will receive the justice which we deserve, others will receive mercy by grace. No one will receive injustice.

[@bridgetmcintyre862]

C C - I don't even understand your comment. I was just saying that God will make sure that EVERYONE HEARS THE GOSPEL. Good day to you and God bless.

[@CC-ee7bj]

And with all due respect, I am saying that what you believe is not what scripture teachers. There are billions of people all around the world who have never heard the gospel, many of them dying literally as I type this post, who have never heard the gospel and will have to face God's righteous judgement. The terrifying reality of that fact should motivate us to share the gospel with as many people as we can, but if we believe that EVERYONE will hear the gospel then we're in danger of having false expectations of God, which could leave us disillusioned or confused.

Romans 2: 6 who will render to each person according to his deeds: 7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God. 12 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; 13 for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. Luke 12: 47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of [x]a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more. Where can one start reading the Bible? John (4th Scripture of the New Testament) and/or Acts of the Apostles (5th Scripture of the New Testament) and in between you can read the first letter to the Thessalonians (New Testament). John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

"What Happens To People Who Have Never Heard The Gospel?" In my 89 yrs on this planet, I have heard that question many times. Of course, I did not have a clue about the answer. That all changed when I became 75; When I asked Jesus (in sincere prayer) to give me wisdom, understanding and the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth. Within a week I began to understand many things that I NEVER understood. And your question is one of them. And it has never stopped. Praise Jesus. Now how did that happen IE... I believe that the Holy Spirit led me to understand; that the reason we have so many questions; it is because we have limited Jesus (who is God). By that Jesus knows things that NO person knows. Example: What would've happened to America, IF, Abraham Lincoln had NOT been assassinated? NO one knows, but Jesus DOES! Oh indeed yes!. Another example: What would happen IF an atheist did NOT die when he did; and he lived 30 more years? NO one knows what would have happened. Jesus knows! Oh indeed yes. He knows whether that atheist would accept the gift or not. Now let's look at your question. Please read this.. John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="627">10:27</a> My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. How did Jesus communicate with them? That is what the Holy Spirit is for; so Jesus can communicate with people. That means that Jesus' voice can be heard by any and all; IF they will listen. Most won't. But there are many people, since creation; that have never heard the gospel; but that "voice" talks to that person; And behold they become a sheep. Oh indeed. Of course there are many that will NOT listen to that voice. They become a goat and they go to hell, sadly. And this happens to retarded people, etc. Thus, there is NO person that can't hear that voice, regardless of any circumstance; IF they are willing to hear it. Sadly, MOST will not listen. But there are billions of people since creation; that have become a sheep; that will NEVER have seen the gospel; or a church, or a bible, etc. Praise Jesus, for he made this miracle possible. It has been proven many times by untold missionary's; who were amazed when natives in the darkest places in Africa and China, etc. That were saying and doing things that they had never seen; or been taught, etc. Oh yes. Now HOW did they know? Huh? Well you have the answer now, IF you listened LOL. In any case, Praise Jesus; for He is the ONLY true God there will ever have been. AMEN!

[@kingdubz126]

But if you're concluding that those who have never heard of the gospel go to heaven, we would agree that those people have sin in them? But then if that were true, since God's Kingdom is holy and pure, then how is that there are no unrighteousness related statutes in God's Kingdom?

[@nicholascarter6543]

He’s not saying that those who have never heard the Gospel of Christ go to Heaven. He is clearly saying (and I believe it to be true) is that God reveals Himself to everyone in different ways and people suppress that inside themselves and some people may search and find Him.. One idea to consider is this : What about all the people who HAVE HEARD and STILL reject the Truth? There are many “Atheists” to account for this. This clearly shows that people suppress the truth within themselves. But those who seek and search for God will truly find Him. God bless you bro 😎✌️🔑.

All very good questions.

Gods plan is perfect and it covers all mankind.

That's why God is the judge

[@alihoussney7870]

God has revealed himself to everyone in creation and in their consciences. Creation is not enough to save you but if you reject it it is enough to condemn you. The fact that everyone knows from creation that there is a God and rejects this fact, they are without excuse. It ought to lead them to fearing, loving and submitting to him. But people choose to go their own way, invent all sorts of false religions, philosophies, ideas, etc.. He is not obligated to let anyone hear the gospel and the fact that God allows some to hear and believe the gospel is an act of kindness and grace on his part, like Romans 2 says (his kindness leads us to repentance). People in their conscience already know right from wrong yet they continue committing crimes against God. So NO ONE on Judgment Day will have excuse as to why they died never hearing the gospel or the name of Jesus. They will be fully and justly condemned for their sins. This is a great video.

God Isn't wanting any to perish and can meet ALL people in all ages/places. He's the perfect judge, knowing the hearts of each person. 3 stages: egg, caterpiller, butterfly! Egg stage: NO babies/children (innocents) perish "heaven belongs to such as these". Caterpiller: accountable stage (either: God awareness- Rom 1&2 eg the criminal on the cross was positively aware..Pharaoh negatively aware so God hardened his heart, OR: gospel perceived, must decide), Butterfly: born again! Finally we are NOT to judge. We cannot tell what stage others are at -some may hear the gospel but not perceive it.

[@flimsyjimnz]

No I disagree -Platt, I think, wrongly teaches very differently that since we're all sinners anyway God is just in sending to hell those who never heard. Fortunately Todd doesn't teach that - 2:15

[@Panhorst]

Everyone whom God saves will come to Jesus. The usual method came through preaching but God is not limited to the human evangelist. John 6:37-39 King James Version (KJV) 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

[@bobbyp3212]

I personally think we should not assume that God will judge others according to our own biases of judgement. God is God, he is all and everything. He knows every persons heart. We all receive, process and act on information according to our cognitive abilities, environments and strengths and weaknesses. Just because a person hears the gospel once doesn't mean they will drop everything they believe in, i just do not think its practical and i think God knows that. Truth is God is the judge, we as Christians know what we have to follow, God will judge non Christians according to their own understanding of right and wrong. But for us we will have a different standard since we are more aware of Gods standards.

[@nathanwoods1927]

So for those who are "non christians" whether they know of God or not, they will be judged on the basis of right and wrong? Essentially judged on their works, correct?

[@bobbyp3212]

I believe so, but also the sincerity of their actions. I do believe in natural law a common decency, and it is evident that certain actions are wrong even for the secular individual. In terms of those that follow other religions there are still moral precepts that if followed can lead to a moral life. I personally believe Christianity to be the full and perfect truth but for those who have yet to come to that understanding, they may still lead moral lives.

[@nathanwoods1927]

Bobby P okay so Christians can be saved on the basis of faith, correct? But non Christians will be judged by their works, correct? For those who did not abide in the law of Moses, essentially following the law, were they sent to hell or judged by their works? Even though they may have scooted by on a couple laws. Also, we know from the Bible that there are only two ways to get into heaven, correct? Only two! The first of course as everyone knows and many people strive to be, perfect, but sadly it will not happen. Second, to accept Christ as your Lord. Now we also know that works are mentioned in the Bible, but they are not required to join our Heavenly Father. We know from the Bible as well that no one gets to the Father accept through Christ. Therefore we can conclude that non Christians, as you refer to them, who do not accept Jesus as the Lord, will not be saved. Disagree?

Everybody before Jesus had an opportunity to know God and they were judged by living by the old testament law.

[@theresnohell3144]

LuvU2 death is an earthly judgment. Perish means to die hopelessly (without known hope). Realized forgiveness is to not die hopelessly. Through Jesus; all are forgiven (known or not). "Believe" doesn't mean to lift ourselves up by our boot straps through thought. To "believe" is to ultimately realize and all eventually will (revelation) although death may come prior for most.

was thinking about this question and some interesting thoughts were coming to my mind. And want to be honest but I don't think this video really answered the question. Hope this helps anyone out there. I was thinking about how in Romans 3.11 it says “There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.” Yet in Jeremiah:<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1753">29:13</a> it says: “And ye shall seek me and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” and I thought how is this reconciled, it seems like a contradiction? Yet I came to a different conclusion. Romans 3.11 seems to be talking about the condition of man. This seems to indicate you can’t seek after God, but on the other hand God says, seek after me and ye shall find me as seen in Jeremiah 29.13. It's almost as if God, has put a vacuum in our hearts. You could go to a verse in Ecclesiastics for example that says, “Draw us and we will run after thee.” So yes, in our natural state man is corrupt, he is perverted; we have no thoughts for anyone but ourselves. There is no thought for God; we don’t even want to know God. But God, has put a vacuum in our hearts. We have a sense of something missing within us, and although our natural bent is to be materialistic, to seek selfish satisfactions in this material world. It tells us what we are by nature, and what we would be if God left us to ourselves. But God calls us and reveals His truth to us, and we certainly can rationally respond. So based on your question. I would compare it to those who never heard the gospel before the coming of Christ. In other words,How were people saved prior to Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection?” Deutronomy 4.29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This passage teaches an important principle, everyone who truly seeks God will find Him because God makes Himself known in all of His creation. Two passages in Romans explain this point further. “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="80">1:20</a>) and “the requirements of the law are written on their hearts” (Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="135">2:15</a>). The complexity of the world around us teaches us there is a God. And even within ourselves. Acts <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1046">17:26</a>-28, “From one man He [God] made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us. For in Him we live and move and have our being.” The Bible appears to be saying each life on this planet ordained by God to be born exactly at the moment in history that gives them an opportunity to find and accept Christ. Psalm 1<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2356">39:16</a> says, “but in your book all my days were already written; my days had been shaped before any of them existed.”

If we can answer how the people of old will be judged before Jesus came, then that will apply to those now on earth who are yet to receive the gospel. So the generations before Christ came I believe (I stand corrected) will be judged according to the content of their heart and deeds. Anyone who reaches the age of reasoning should know good and bad even if they have not heard the gospel.

[@arpannaskar6654]

God will judge non Christian according to their consciousness ( Romans 1 : 18 - 20 ) and please read also ( Romans 2 : 12 - 16 ). Besides, in the book proverbs teaches that " people ruin their life by their own foolishness but in their mind they blame the Lord ( Proverbs 19 : 3 ) and some judgement nobody will understand ( Romans 11 : 33 - 34 ). Our, God is true and his judgement will be true and honest. Nobody, can disprove Bible. Sometimes, devils create questions against God in our mind and in this way, they try to separate us from God by creating doubts. But, we should always stay faith in God. This world is totally under the control of evil spirits. Devils blinded the eyes of worldly people ( 2 Corinthians 4 : 4 ) and sometimes devils also try to blind our eyes. Don't worry about anything and always rejoice with God by praising him and live happy, honest life with his people ( Philippians 4 : 6 - 8). Stay away from worldly people and don't touch the unclean things, then Lord will always dwell in us and help us ( 2 Corinthians 6 : 14.- 18 )

See ​​kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5zSZ5J-fb2rZtE​ as the Savior ministered to the dead in the spirit world so "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="130">2:10</a>-11).

Is it all a question of consciousness, then? Can consciously accepting Christ as well as living righteously or unconsciously receiving the Holy Spirit and living in God's grace both be ways to salvation? Although, those living BCE can't be held to account for not having heard about Christ, therefore as long as they have lived morally upstanding lives, they would've been saved? There's quite a lot of mental gymnastics involved in understanding this argument and I am not always sure that I get it. I heard a Catholic priest once talk about the 'Unknowing Christian', but I was always led to believe that accepting Christ was a deliberate act of faith, otherwise what would be the point of sacraments or ordinances if you didn't need outward signs of inward faith? There's a lot to take in here and not all of it seems to make obvious sense. I need to read the OT again to see evidence of those born before Christ who could possibly be labelled Christian, a bit like the Waldensians or Wycliffe supporters being what were termed 'Protestants', even though they preceded Luther, Calvin or Zwingli. I suppose they were 'pre- Reformation Protestants' in the same way that we have been talking about 'pre- Nativity Christians', right?

Also if one can be Baptised ,then do, those that have not, well think about again ,the Thief on the cross ,a whole life of Badness ,Yet was told by Jesus ,because of his belief . Today You will be with Me in paradise, .....again this shows his Mercy and His Love. That is my understanding .

[@Gratusgratus]

All men are sinners. All men choose sin. 'None is righteous, no, not one' (Rom3v10; Ps14; Ps53). If you choose sin, you choose against Jesus. Nobody can be saved without believing in Jesus. And nobody can perish without disbelieving in Jesus. But: As there are grades of glory for the believers in Jesus, there are grades of damnation for the unbelievers in Jesus. Those who perish will not receive the same punishment. Mt11v20f. And that applies to those 'who have never heard the gospel'. They indeed did hear the gospel, of course. All men hear the gospel. And those who have 'never' heard the gospel heard enough of the gospel to be without excuse (Rom1v18f), even though they heard much less than those (us) who have grown up with Biblical teaching all around us.

[@bartleon]

Take the time if you want to know what the Bible says: Romans 2: 6 who will render to each person according to his deeds: 7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God. 12 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; 13 for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. Luke 12: 41- 48

[@leemcdonald2390]

If it were true that if some does not hear the Gospel, they go to hell, then what's the worst thing we could do to them? Tell them the Gospel. . . So, if that were the case, the entire mission behind Christianity is false. When Jesus told us to go to all nations, forget that, he didn't know what he was talking about. Point blank, we need to understand that if Jesus is true and so is Christianity, we need to tell EVERYONE. God is just, and has revealed himself to mankind. We need to bring them the Gospel.

The reality is that the Bible does not always give a concrete answer to certain hard questions. It gives us all we need to know to live a Holy Life and how to meet God's standards and make it to heaven. I always tell people that once they have heard the Gospel they are accountable and without excuse. Those who never heard I cannot speak for God Almighty but I beleive that a Holy and Almighty God will judge righteously.

I remember the late Dr. R.C. Sproul stating, "The question we should ask is why does God save anyone." The late Paris Reidhead (listen to his amazing sermon, 10 Shekels and a Shirt) went to Africa as a missionary. He said his motive was to help those poor individuals living in such terrible conditions a chance to go to heaven. When he got there he discovered they "loved their sin, and had no interest in the gospel." (not much different than the climate in America). He called them "monsters of iniquity." After much prayer his renewed view is that Jesus was asking, "Do not I deserve the reward for my suffering? Do not I deserve those for whom I died?" That of course should be our great passion, to share the gospel to the whole world that Christ would be glorified in the preaching of the gospel.

Sharing the gospel is us being granted the grace of God as a gift of love from God and He delights in allowing us share that love with others. He does speak in dreams to people also. Look at Paul who got struck down on the road to Damascus where he went to persecute Christians, thinking he was a godly person. Christ spoke to him directly, even though he'd gone to heaven already, when Paul himself didn't believe in Christ as the Messiah. I had dreams of healing which only God could do or know how to heal my problem. I also have been taught things I needed to hear which I'd been blinded from before. During prayer I felt Jesus come right close and tell me what I needed to do. People in the Far Eastern countries where Christianity is outlawed and the penalty is death, have had visitations from Christ and shared their experiences online. Christ is alive today just as he was in bible times. The end of the gospel of Matthew Christ promises the disciples he will never leave them. He was speaking regarding the spreading of the good news, so of course He will not leave one person not spoken to either directly by Him or through us.

[@garyloger9416]

In chapter 1 of Romans, Paul is making reference to backsliding christians, not people who have never heard of God. Here's the reason for my belief. Romans 1 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, Verses 18 n 19. These are suppose to be non-believers. I'm going to rewrite the first 2 lines, replacing the word "men" and the 2 "them" with the word non-believer. Watch what happens. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of NON-BELIEVERS, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in THE NON-BELIEVER, for God has shown it to THE NON-BELIEVER. is this true? How can a non-believer suppress the truth of a God he doesn't believe in? Do people really believe that God shows the non-believer who He really is? How many non-believers know and understand His eternal power and Godhead before they become believers? I know I didn't and I'm pretty sure you didn't either. Anyway...

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh ALL THINGS after the counsel of his own will: Ephesians 1:11 KJV All things means all things. No exceptions. Our will is not stronger than Gods. Even our hairs are numbered and accounted for, how much more crucial things like salvation? If you truly want to grasp even a little bit God's saving grace then do a little research with an open mind. Check out this site (I don't run this site but it's help me with understanding God's plan) ... Iswasandwillbe dot com. Start with these verses and tell how can they mean anything other than the salvation of all. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, SPECIALLY of those that believe. 1 Timothy 4:10 KJV and For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:22 KJV Hell is not a just punishment, it's pointless sadistic torture that doesn't reap anything good. What does the Bible say is the true purpose of judgement? With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Isaiah 26:9 KJV Essentially the judgments of God reaps righteousness. There it is in black and white. Anyway, it's not my role to open eyes and ears.

Millions and Millions of people before and after Jesus' death; will not have heard nor 'responded' to the Gospel. Responding with 'realization' of Jesus as 'Christ'; and thus becoming part of the Church. The good news is; through the cross of Christ; all are forgiven. Our forgiveness is not based on a correct thought about Jesus. Forgiveness is for all; (unconditional) Now for the real problem: How do 'all' the rest; who are not part of the Church; realize Jesus? Since they didn't realize in this life; it will be after their death. Death (after Jesus) is no more the separator from God; but now a precedent of the resurrection; through which God will show His existence and His power and His redemptive work; thru Jesus; to "lost" man. The Lake of Fire is symbolic of God; not a torture pit! God was never going to torture (not God's nature!). The worse that would happen to these; who didn't realize Jesus; would be death.

[@vonhanshaw5575]

This guy tries to be suave, slick, and smooth but he totally evades the question in his circular logic approach. The first lie he tells is: "God is Just..." The second lie he tells is" "No where in the Bible does it say that men will go to hell for rejecting in a Jesus whom they have never heard..." The third lie he tells is the go-to scripture for every Christian regarding this subject -- which is Romans 1. He is confusing the "Creator" and the creation with Jesus and salvation. For example, a man cannot look at an Eagle and say " I believe in god..." and still go to the biblical version of Heaven. That is ludicrous. Yes it is true that the creation reveals a Creator, but that does not necessarily mean that the Creator is the Jesus of Christianity. This guy contradicts himself by quoting Acts <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="252">4:12</a> which totally refutes what he has just said. He said that he has heard stories where people who have never heard have had "Jesus dreams". What is that? How would the person dreaming even know who Jesus is? That is ludicrous. Let me answer this question for us. NUMBER ONE: Jesus said in John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="846">14:6</a> - Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. NUMBER TWO: ACTS <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="252">4:12</a> - Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” NUMBER THREE: John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="601">10:1</a> - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. NUMBER FOUR: REVELATION <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1211">20:11</a>-15 - And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. What do these passages of scripture clearly state? 1. No one can gain entrance into heaven unless they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. 2. There is only one way to get into heaven and that is through accepting Jesus as Savior. 3. If a person tries to get into heaven in any other way (i.e., looking at the creation and finding god, etc.), then they will not be admitted and are considered a thief and a robber. 4. No one will be allowed into heaven unless their name has been written in the Book of Life, and whoever is not there will be cast into hell. But, according to this guy there are three separate lines of people on Judgment Day: >>> a line of people who have heard and accepted Christ. >>> a line of people who have heard and rejected Christ. >>> a line of people who have never heard of Christ. According to this guy, lines number one and three are going to heaven, and the Bible (as I have just shown) clearly refutes such claims. Here is the true truth. Those who have never heard and consequently never had an opportunity to accept Christ are doomed to hell through no fault of their own based upon the passages I just quoted (John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="846">14:6</a>, Rom. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="609">10:9</a>-13, Acts <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="252">4:12</a>, John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="601">10:1</a>, and Rev. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1211">20:11</a>-15).

It’s a non answer, just many words. Alternatively, the Catholic Church has a clear answer in what is termed “infallible ignorance”.

Why is God so inefficient at getting His word out? It's like He can do all of these amazing things, but He can't do what man CAN do. He needs man to build the ark and man to spread the word.

[@abbafatherministries9770]

God is not "inefficient at getting his word out" God is spirit and we are flesh. (John 4:24) We cannot see the unseen world yet. Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." You're in error when you say "God is inefficient at getting his word out. It is the Holy Spirit that is in us (true believers who've obeyed the Gospel) that is reaching the lost! God is in us and he is the one who prompts us to collect souls, preach, warn, and rebuke! God is working on in this wicked sin filled world day and night everyday through his children.

[@KAI_ehe]

Two reasons. God counts our faith and trust in him for righteousness. So he has to allow for doubt in the world. If he did anything too obvious, they will know he is God. And that's the second part. God cannot reveal himself because we would all die. He's not fit for this dimension and neither are we in his, until we are born of the spirit through faith in Christs sacrifice. So he uses man as his tool. And I feel like he's using me as a tool. Remember these bodies are just temples for spirits. It is not simply man doing things but God in him. Hope that makes sense.

[@terriynjonez8295]

Spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ is sometimes difficult, but it get through. God is our creator no doubt, God gave us human beings a choice weather we will serve him or not. He will not force us to follow him. He loves each one of us too much. I choose & chose to serve God Almighty bcuz he loves me, he forgives me, he is merciful... As for Satan he always lies, to steal & to kill. He don't care about humans that God created, he only cares about himself, but it won't b long he will b confined & destroyed by Jesus Christ, the son of the living God Almighty... 🙏🙌📖

I can't keep listening these guys wjo know nothing of God's plan.for man. 1. The true gospel is the gospel that Christ Himself brought. That is the coming kingdom of God or.one world government under God and His laws. Not the man-made gospel about Christ that you hear today. Christ came teaching the gospel, or good news, of the coming kingdom of God. And then He said to repent and believe the gospel. Which gospel? The gospel He had just mentioned. 2. The Bible, God's word, clearly says that everyone who ever lived will be resurrected physically again all at the same time after Satan has been put away and can no longer deceive the nations. And at that time will learn God's truths and have the opportunity to accept them. It's clear and simple. Dust off your Bible. Read it and believe it. Don't just believe "IN" God and Christ, "BELIEVE" them. Don't follow a man unless you prove by the Bible they are following Christ. It is your responsibility to prove all things.

@@nathanwoods1927 of course we must accept Christ. But just accepting Him does not automatically save some one Read the gospels. There are conditions to salvation. God will not save one person who won't obey Him. Dont just believe "IN" God and Christ. "BELIEVE" them.

[@nathanwoods1927]

M Burns okay so accepting Christ is a must, we agree on that. The conditions to salvation, are you talking about works having to be done or a certain process to go through to be saved? Are you saying don't believe in God, believe in the words of God, the Bible?

M Burns if a man who lived his whole life running from Christ, but accepted Christ the last few months of his life, but never committed a good work to further God's kingdom will he then go to heaven or be sent to hell? Or we could even say a man that in his death bed accepts Christ? What happens to him? Also, for good deeds to ever occur what must first happen? Faith, right?

[@michellebrown3859]

[@KAI_ehe]

Well I have a few theories that I cannot prove while I'm still researching the topic. 1. They will get a second chance either during the tribulation or during the millennial. We know there is a walking dead resurrection in OT scripture. Perhaps they are raised and given a second chance. Either they come out of their graves when the rapture occurs and have to go through the tribulation or maybe they are resurected once Jesus comes. The Bible says there are numerous resurrections and in Revelation it says blessed is he who goes through the first resurrection because the rest of the dead won't resurect to judgement until the end of the thousand year millinium. This implies that the dead will resurect prior to the end in another event. My best bet is that it happens at the rapture. 2. These people don't really exist and are just a part of the matrix. 3. They do exist and are the seed of Satan or nephilim. 4. Back to point 2, if they don't really exist maybe it's because they suffered the second death and theyre entire existence it's wiped out. Seeing how we live in time space, the end has already occurred, thus meaning they already don't exist. These are just wild ideas. I'm not saying they are fact or entirely Biblical. I'm just throwing these things out there, encouraging you not to be small minded about matters that are in God's hands, who is able to make anything happen..

[@vonhanshaw5575]

There is no scripture to support the theory that anyone gets a second chance after they die (Heb. 9:27).

It is forbidden by law to visit North Sentinel Island and make contact with the sentinelese people. So indirectly, it's forbidden by law to make them hear the gospel. As long as not all humans have heard the gospel Jesus can't return.

What Happens To People Who Have Never Heard The Gospel? They will be in Christ kingdom when He sets it up on this earth!!

[@theresnohell3144]

speed chaser the cross of Christ forgives all. When we realize God's forgiveness through Jesus; we have assurance in God's forgiveness which is our Salvation. On the flip side; if we don't realize (believe in) Jesus; in this life then those considered lost here will realize Jesus then. Therefore all will.

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

Youd think an all powerful, merciful and loving god would make himself known to everyone. And the idea that god wouldnt do anything wicked or unjust is false. He killed several people single handedly for simply looking in his direction. He also condones slavery.. the old testament is basically an owners manual for slavers. Anyone who says the god of the bible is all knowing, all powerful, merciful and loving has never actually read the bible. Everyone even openly admits you should fear god and basically have blind faith because of what could happen to you after you die. Seems to me this is just an attempt to have order in society and a way to make people believe justice will be served in spite of death. I imagine some people do good out of fear that theyll be sent to hell. I think all religions are simply this. To control the masses and collect millions of dollars from 10% of your paycheck and every other member of the church every week.. that way your preacher can live in a 10 million dollar house tax free like Joel Osteen and his family. they only use a very small portion of those donations actually giving back to the community. And even then they rely on charitable donations for that cause in particular and do NOT use money from the collection boxes going around every week. Churches have been taking more they need from poor and uneducated people since civilization began. Open your eyes, folks. Religion is man made! Too many flaws to be authored or even just inspired by a perfect being.

[@KAI_ehe]

I don't believe it's eternal in that sense. Many just don't study the scriptures. The second death is clearly God. He is an all-consuming fire that destroys his enemies. What does the Bible say happens when we see God? We die. That's the whole reason he hides himself.. Hes more powerful than any gamma ray of cosmic ray. He will devour you. Unless you are born of the spirit by trusting in the blood he shed on the cross to be saved and forgiven of all sins forever. Forever means eternal. He paid the penalty for all sins so what happens if you believe that? Sin has no eternal consequence. But if you refuse that gift that is simply based on faith in Christ and his blood atonement that gives you life, you will see death. But first hell, which is actually the grave. A waiting place until the judgement. And the judgement is the second death which is everlasting. It means you won't exist anymore. At all. For all eternity. Only the angels and demons get tormented for all eternity because their immortal beings. I wish people would read the Bible I really do.

[@YesYou123333]

This is one reason I'm a Calvinist. Calvinists believe God chooses who to save. Then the question of "What happens to those who have never heard the Gospel?" is easy to answer. They are not of the Elect so will go to Hell. Anyone who God chooses to save will have heard the Gospel. And, not only will they hear the Gospel, they will accept it.

If God chooses who to save is free will real?
