- After reading Romans 1:20, some ask, when it comes to knowing God or knowing Jesus, what happens to those who have never heard about Jesus? Is there really no excuse for not knowing God? What happens to those who never hear the Gospel? Can a lack of knowledge about Jesus condemn someone who never heard the Gospel to Hell? In this video, Pastor Nelson with Bible Munch, answers those questions by looking at Romans 1 and other Bible passages about knowing God and knowing Jesus to answer the question, what happens to those who have never heard about Jesus?
Pray for the children born into the horrors in the dark corners of the world.
Why? Jesus put them there to suffer be raped, starved and murdered, that is their life! Rejoice!
Why? Didn’t your god you believe in allow for them to be born there? Yep. The baby could have died soon after birth or otherwise but he allowed KNOWING he would just condemn them to hell.
They will go to heaven.. children belongs to heaven.

I believe what he says is true because from the age of four, I was getting strange impressions and I believe now it was the Holy Spirit and I was getting clues for maybe 20 years off and on. Then, when my life got really bad, I seriously started seeking God and I found him. What he showed me was incredible. He can fix the whole universe in one minute. That’s how much power I was shown. People don’t know who they are messing with when they mess with God if they knew his power they would shake in their shoes.
Probably, I mean he killed everyone on earth in a flood, accepted a burnt virgin sacrifice, condoned slavery. People should fear him as they would any other evil tyrant. Thank the serpent for giving us the knowledge and freedom to see it.

Yes Jesus, thanks for sacrificing yourself to save us from rules you created.
So grateful for this video. My son asked me this earlier this afternoon after church and I said a very similar message but it was encouraging for me to see it randomly come up on my feed and reassuring for him when I shared it with him. God bless
Fear not, ever lasting life is easy to have, Paul in the Bible says we are all given a measure of faith, so we are not alone here, so fear not, because within this faith God has left us with the Holy Spirit and its not about the sins we have or haven't done , to live forever and be righteous in Gods eyes aka "sinless before him", all we have to do is believe in what he has already done for us at the cross, he died for those sins so we don't have to pay the price for those sins and all we have to do is JUST Believe it! because god said it is finished, the debt has been paid, so just believe and enjoy your eternal salvation ! see it is easy, just believe in what he did for you at the Cross and you will live Forever and Ever, Amen
Where please does Paul say this, thanks: "Paul in the Bible says we are all given a measure of faith"
ALSO please: How about babies who die in or out of the womb... How can they have (as you say) a measure of faith? ✝
They have souls and purpose
@@keithkelso9872 Bible verse please to support your comments. What about the babies infants and those in the womb during Noahs flood? Remember Gods Word said that ALL those people had sin in their hearts continuously. How about the pass-over deaths of babies, Sodom there were surly new borns and those in the womb then. How about those babies killed during the taking of the walls of Jericho and then again with the taking of the land of milk and honey..... Just like ac unlimited above its an opinion only unless you got Gods Word(s) to back up what you are trying to say. Respectfully thanks.
ac ????
Pray for me plzzzzz I’m going through so much
You got my prayers 🙏
Done. Youll get through it brother.
We go to hell because of our sin. The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS our LORD.
@Matthew Block You sound like Taliban.
Easy for you to say, you have the gospel. Those who don't aren't so fortunate.
Regarding people who never got a chance to hear about Jesus, I believe that they will be judged based on how they respond to God's general revelation that is made manifest through nature and through their consciousness. So they will be judged based on how much they know about God and what they do with their knowledge of God. For example, imagine if there was a man named Gary who lived in an isolated island that is located far far away from civilization. Gary has never heard of Jesus or the gospel before, and he did not have access to The Bible. But Gary believes and knows that there is a higher power out there, but he just doesn't know or recognize what this higher power is, and he realizes and acknowledges that he is a horrible sinner, and he pleads for mercy and forgiveness to this higher power that he recognizes not, and he refuses to worship idols and worship other gods. I believe that Gary might be saved. But it is up to God to decide whether someone goes to Heaven or Hell; not us.
Sounds nice but why would anyone who assumes there is a God (solely based on our surroundings) feel the need to ask that God for forgiveness without first being shamed over their inherent sin and convicted over the torture Jesus had to go through to save them from it?
Isn't that the whole point of salvation? God can't save someone unless it's through Jesus.
If he can then what's the whole point of the sin/forgiveness/Jesus dynamic?
@DJ5780 I agree with you, but couldn't it be possible that people are saved the same way the old Testament prophets were saved, not through scripture but through God revealing himself to them? An example would be Abraham who never had the gospel, but God revealed himself to him and his faith was counted as righteousness. Couldn't God do the same for these people in isolated places in the world?
@@eastdragon1676Then why we need share gospel if God is going reveal himself, it much better if God reveals himself rather than an fellow men himself go and tell him about gospel
I don't understand the logic of sperding gospel?
But how would he know he was an horrible sinner if he doesn't know what sin is ?
@@johnharrison7176 John 16:8 says that the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, unrighteousness and judgement. So subconsciously, everyone in this world knows that they are a sinner, that they are unrighteous, and that there is a coming judgment. They may not have the words to describe these concepts, but they know it. Romans 1:20 says that the invisible things of God have been clearly seen from the creation of the world, so that people are without excuse before Him. Also, God can reveal Himself to a person even though he has never heard the Gospel or has never gotten any access to The Bible before through miraculous means, maybe through dreams or visions. You know, there have been many cases and testimonies of Muslims living in Saudi Arabia who received visions about Jesus and then converted to Christianity because of it.
I really appreciate how this guy backs EVERYTHING with scripture!
You can twist Scripture to fit your preconceived opions.
@@davidbradberry7637 yes you can, and has been since the time of Christ.
What does Jesus say about it?
Matthew 13:9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear
Matthew 13:11 Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.
He’s making it up. He clearly doesn’t know the answer. No shame in saying “I don’t know.” We’re only human, and can’t be expected to know everything.
All will have heard the Gospel of the Kingdom before the end comes because the Gospel shall be preached everywhere. All means all.
“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.” (Matthew 24:14)
I am not sure what God's plan is, but, all, every single soul, even those who have already died, will hear the Gospel and either accept God's offer of salvation or reject it.
No one has ever answered this question clearly!
The apostles in Acts were brethren with those of Phenice, they traveled the Atlantic to our shores during that era, so why couldn’t they have brought the gospel here ?
@@rd8370 That is highly possible. I for one have NEVER heard a preacher or Theologian answer it properly. Everyone always sidesteps the meat of the answer.
No one wants to take total ownership.
I for one have NEVER heard a preacher or Theologian answer it properly. Everyone always sidesteps the meat of the answer.
No one wants to take total ownership. I have wondered this my whole Christian life. And I am just asking! I do not know, I can only speculate.
He basically just said it was foolish to debate this question as an answer
@@the-hollywood-dog-says-6072right. It’s so ignorant to just assume everyone gets the opportunity no matter what their circumstances were from the beginning of time. Also not him gaslighting us😂 “we shouldn’t be focused on that, we should focus on spreading the gospel across the world”. 😂 that’s cultish behavior right there!!
Thank you for this...I've struggled with coming to terms with this dilemma for a while now. I feel I have a much better understanding. Just shared it with my husband who was also having a problem understanding this. We appreciate it very much, God bless.
What do you think he said?
Hi Peter...it wasn't so much what I thought He said, my dilemma was not understanding the why.... (which is not for me to question I realize)...if someone had never heard the word of God they would still be condemned. I have since read Romans and the apostle Paul makes it pretty clear. And your explanation about what a problem this would be if those who had never heard the word would not be accountable. My husband and I were baptized in 2020 and are still reading and studying.... finding our way through the scriptures. Thanks for your explanation! =)@@peterharris8471
Yea I would like to know what you think he said to, because it made absolutely no sense to me.
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.
Matthew 5: 7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Luke 12: 41- 48
So your saying people who don’t know God will be judged and thrown in hell?…I thought God said he will judge according to your works..but I personally believe God doesn’t want anyone to perish I think there is a fair judgement to those who don’t know him or never heard of him
@@klopcodez Hi, did you read the whole texte?
May God bless you and be with you.
@@bartleon my point was according to Bible God judges by what you know it’s very small % who have never heard of God as for the rest they gave and this is the majority who are able to see what’s good and what’s right these are folks who not necessarily refuse to follow God but hate his words knowingly and rejecting as for a Christian who’s struggling that’s understandable God doesn’t want to see anyone perish as it says one must be disciplined for it’s put in you for God is within you and all over us those who have heard and those who have not he put good
Christianity flourished after the 19th century. So, tell us what happened to those who didn't know Jesus from 1st AD till now? What happens to the people who were born into islam, buddhism or Hinduism and never heard of Jesus and died?
@@babushka9261 See my main message here.
May God bless you.
Honest question: What about native americans before columbus? They had no chance to possibly be saved since it sould be impossible for them to hear the gospel.
It depends whom you ask. If you question God for that, maybe we need to ask ourselves first. Who are we to doubt the righteousness of God? You ask that question because you don't trust that God is righteous and just? Do you think he doesn't know enough to judge people rightly? Who are we to question Creator all those questions? You may unintentionally bring God to our level.
Vincent, start with Job, the oldest book in the Bible. How was he saved?
How about the Jonah and the mariners who were on the boat that Jonah tried to escape from the Lord on, you can see their progression in Jonah 1 in praying to their own gods, to fearing the Lord, making sacrifices and vows. Rahab, Ruth, the jailer with Paul, and others that God saved when we would have thought there wasn't a way.
God is sovereign in salvation, not us.
Read the Book of Mormon, which is a credible extension of the Bible. It will answer your question 😉
westy raviz: there is no extension to the bible. God clearly said in his word, that man is not to add, nor take away from the bible. That "extension" is not, nor ever will be, accepted by GOD
@@westyravizthose who bring any new gospel, rather than the one you’ve already heard will be accursed.
Morman false
Simple question and simple answer; the people who never HEARD about the salvation plan, God is going to judge them by THEIR conscious.
We are CREATED creatures in the IMAGE of GOD, God put a MORAL code on all of us.
“Moral” is a subjective and relative term. Some beliefs would have considered human sacrifice to be moral.
@@westyraviz Morality is not subjective, objective, nor relative.
In our minds like humans we have the bias of what constitutes MORALITY.
Human SACRIFICE referes to demonstrate power over a rival tribe or to ask pagan gods for power.
This practices Were not established by GOD, they were distorted by HUMAN, to put FEAR in their ENEMIES, or those who wanted to RULED.
Human morality is NOT GOD'S MORALITY.
People around the world have had and still have different gods and spiritual beliefs. Many living during the time of biblical events were more focused on staying alive than chasing after Gods.
Thats my issue to. In the older Bible God revield himself to people of other faiths through drastic miracles and other acts now all we have is people's word. Humans sinful fault riden. There is nothing that proves our our is not the same one they worship. The see nature and see it as proof of their beliefs. Heck even fellow Christians can see the same thing and take away 2 differnt view points. Also I been reading the bible front to back and I guess I am a little concered that it says: I will harden his heart and he will not let my people go. That is God activly making a person not listen to him and then punishing him for not listening. He doing it to make a example that not listening brings punishment yes but why do he do it? That like telling someone that stealing is bad making them steal then punishing them for it.
It's amazing how we make up stuff, simply amazing
Then the Bible is simply amazing..
It is on the believer, to share the gospel, regardless and it does fall in the believer for refusing to share the gospel as well
I would suggest they lead relatively happy, uncomplicated lives.
Excellent answer!
So let me get this straight. My mans here straight up said people born on the other side of the planet who worship God but don't have full understanding because they have no access to the story of the gospel and Jesus christ are condemned. They had no choice and opportunity to be saved, this is a conundrum and an argument against God being perfect, so this would be a contradiction.
I appreciate that you said it was your speculation if what happens, but whatever our Holy God does is fair. It's OK to say we don't know.
Jesus Christ went to the cross and now lives to set sinful you free from death and hell. Repent and turn your heart to Him before it’s too late. If He calls your heart, say yes!
I don't think he answered the question.... What about those people before the times of Jesus were they condemned to hell too?
Good question…they were considered righteous through faith (Abraham) basically saved “on credit” as Jesus would come and erase sins of the those who loved Him. I honestly (I could be totally wrong) feel like those who never heard of Him in some distant land but yearned to know Him as much as they could, God would have mercy on…idk
What happens in the meantime though? like how long does it take to reach isolated people's?
He said that they’d DEFINITELY burn in hell. And their sin was that they didn’t look up to the sky and recognize that there is a God. He’s a lunatic Taliban-like pastor who simply made up his response and culled irrelevant Bible verses together to try to justify his ignorance.
You seriously think people like Moses, Abraham, Elijah, and Enoch aren’t in heaven?
What about those who never new the gospel before the time of Christ and the Old Testament..
Those in the Old Testament were still saved through faith. God promised them a Messiah. So they had faith in the Messiah to come. And they demonstrated their faith to God by adhering to the Law. But no one could ever keep the law perfectly. It showed them all their need for God's grace, mercy, and forgiveness. Their need for a Savior.
So they were saved looking forwards and having faith that God would keep His promise to them to send a Messiah. And we are saved by Jesus, only we are looking backwards at what He did on the cross.
But all are still saved through faith in Jesus.
It would be better if you will include what the actual verses states.
So your saying that without the threat of Hell, no one would believe in God?
I ask this question with respect
The threat of hell should not even be used when witnessing rather we should preach the kindness of God according to Titus 3
I dont think that true. I started believing in Jesus because he was talking to me through dreams and showing me things that have come to pass.
If you watch peoples testimonies. ( christian ones)
They will tell you how they came to Jesus
For some it is, I know one right one literally, everyone is different, without hell, the stubborn, like me and worse will continue to sin cause there is no consequences. That's why when children are rude or break house rules they are assigned punishment, and why when we sin we feel guilt, without consequences for doing wrong most human beings will do it anyway, If we did'nt go to jail for stealing, many (not all) will own millions today. Sinning and the rebellion of god etc. Is in our fleshly desires that why we have two seperate desires, one from our body and one from our soul. Because of this I have seen people reject God when the message Was about heaven and God's love. It happens, for some people they will not accept God even if he appeared in front of him, ofcourse not everybody but they exist.
Light received brings more light.
Light rejected brings more darkness.
i am a Christian and you did not answer the question.
lmaoooo fr 😂
2:40 Are you saying that if you don’t get saved you go to Hell? I’m Catholic, and yet I can see, every culture is different, and there is more than one path to glory. God works in mysterious ways, and who of us, could possibly understand the mind of God.
The Bible does not say that there is more than one path to glory. In fact, the Bible says that believing in Jesus is the only way to heaven in John 14:6.
What about those who are already death before Jesus was born on Earth.
That is NOT an answer...the question was "what if someone NEVER heard of God or Jesus"...there are still tribes of isolated people that have no information of the Christian God...the hidden peoples of Brazil...The barely contacted people of many Pacific islands...and especially, the tribe of North Sentinel Island, who have had NO contact with outsiders...and are now protected by the Indian Government by making any attempt of contact illegal...What of these people???? And what of the past??? People that lived in far away places that did not know of Christianity until it was later presented to their descendants...Don't skirt the question with the usual palaver...just answer it...if you can...
I am a believer and I kind of understand but he says that there aren’t people who never hear about god but there are and what about those people who live according to the right and wrong god has presented in their heart, how can they all still be condemned. I want to believe they will be judged solely on that and can be pardoned but he says differently.
I will say one thing that once someone understands that God is real they need discipleship to understand what to do the next step it’s not really known
While ostensibly paradoxical: I believe that those who have truly never heard, or know of the gospel are not necessarily damned, while at the same time believing that introducing them to the possibility of rejection through awareness of it- is still the better option. The reason being, is that earthly society only benefits from following God's word, who's wrath is justifiably proportionate to the degree of sinful rebellion.
Since believers and unbelievers alike are morally objective: The plurality of sins committed outside of pursuing a relationship with God, can reach such a point where people are corrupt beyond repentance. This is what occurred during the days of Noah.
The antediluvians (those who lived before the flood) had attained such wickedness, that no amount of testimony would save them. God knew that the only justified course of action at this point was their utter destruction, and literally waited until there was only one salvageable family (the bare minimum) left before sending a global deluge. The same purge (albeit by fire rather than water) will happen when Christ returns, hence the preface "As in the days of Noah"- which was again used to explain the prerequisite state of mankind's heart preceding his second coming.
James 4:17 reads: "Therefore to him that *knoweth* to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
Since it is sinful to know of God and not accept him as Lord and Savior, while good to do otherwise; those who do not know are incapable of committing said sin according to James. Hence why I believe those who suffer from down syndrome, or perhaps haven't yet reached the age of accountability- will be saved. The same could be said of tribal peoples that have yet to be contacted by the world at large. Such people by default are not condemned, and in fact exist in their meekness that the works of God may be made manifest. Succinctly, they are doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to glorify God through helping them. (John 9:3)
Everyone here is certainly entitled to their own perspective, but I believe we preach God's word to mitigate evil- thereby delaying judgments, and maximizing the amount of potential converts. That's why it's better to introduce everyone to an awareness of Christ.
If we did nothing, some would be saved by virtue of naivete, or willingness to follow God; but overt corruption would cause mankind to fall into a state of absolute apostasy... which is basically what's happening as of this typing. So, more people being made aware of God's word before most become incompatible with doctrine, is better than allowing far less to be saved at the majority's expense.
I agree with this. I don't think God is looking ways to punish people and condemn those who didn't 'find him in nature'. God, his words and works are undoubtedly visible. Paul states the undeniability of God in the first chapter of Romans. But that fairly applies to those who openly rejects Jesus Christ or even the concept of God itself after being exposed to the gospel. I firmly believe God's fairness and mercy is bigger than his wrath. But also we have to consider the fact that God have a plan to reveal himself to the people outside the common demography, because it would be shallow to think that God only reveals himself to the civilized people avoiding those who live isolated from the outside World. (Remember Nineveh was almost doomed and even being a big city, God gave a chance to repent). In that sense, I agree with Pastor Nelson.
Are you a bible scholar? Do you share your knowledge somewhere? Your comments are very interesting. I would like to hear more.
There isn't a shred of evidence that supports any of your claims.
@@dominicpardo4783 It wouldn’t make much sense if you have no faith.
@@andsoitgoes1142 *EVIDENCE*
If you don't have it, it's just bullshit.
I sincerely believe that, all non-Christians will go thru the Great White Throne judgment and they will be judged according to their works. I'm still not convinced that, if a person that never heard the name of Jesus, can still find salvation at the Great White Throne according to the judgment of their own lives.
Rev 20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
You know there are two thrones right? The Throne of Grace where saints will receive their salary and reward for their life on earth. And the judgement throne where all people alive an death will be judged. But since there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, we will not receive the wrath of God.
@@EAGLEOFTHEKING Yep! I know that. My comment was about people that never heard about the Messiah.
If God judges you on your own works, your doomed and going to Hell. That's Bible truth friend
We are ONLY justified by faith, in Christ Jesus.
@@TURTLEORIGINAL Start reading
@@LitoLochoss in the church age (right now) it's true that we are being save Only by the grace of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. But in the tribulation age the way of their salvation is by 2 way. Having faith + works.

I would not trust Got Questions. They are not a reliable source. How do you know if a website like "Got Questions" is biased and not a reliable source: Consider how the website engages with alternative perspectives. Does it dismiss them outright, or does it engage with them thoughtfully and respectfully? A narrow-minded approach often involves a lack of willingness to consider differing viewpoints.
Rahab was saved out of Jericho. God sent the spies to find her.
i figured those who have not heard, will be like the rest of us at death, our souls waiting for the big day of return, and then we all get that face to face
What about those hidden in the jungles of Chapalapa?
Native Australians, the longest living culture in the world. 60,000 yrs old and still here today. Have they been ignoring a Christian god for 60,000 yrs? It makes you think
So if a person never discovers God through nature and existence spontaneously and is also never reached by a preacher of Catholicism then that person goes to hell?
Romans 2:12-16 from the New International Version (NIV):
"12 All 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. 13 For 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. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares."
Those verses emphasizes that God's judgment is impartial and based on the condition of the heart rather than adherence to the Mosaic Law alone.
I have not understood his answer, can any one explains me in simple terms.
My question :- there is an island called North sentinel and people living there, has no connection with outside world till now. They are still living as tribal, not knowing the technologies and development made in this world. So where will they'll go after death, heaven or hell. It is Obvious that they never heard of Christianity and jesus.
Why’d he really try to gaslight us into believing this is a foolish question lmao
He definitely needs more study.
“For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does” (1 Peter 4:6). also, in 1 peter 3 Christ preaches to those in prison that died during the flood. why would he preach to them if not to save them? for myself this clearly explains what happens to all those that never received a chance to hear the good news Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists etc. This is good and acceptable in the sight of our God our savior, who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Tim. 2:3-6, KJV)
Jesus “is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” (1 John 2:2)
North Sentinel Island, Island. Here I come.
They will
Pastor Nelson, I think you're wrong about this. You did not mention or consider Acts 17. God winked at the ignorance of the Gentiles. That means He overlooked those who truly did not know about Christ. God would then judge people based on what He did reveal to them. So what happens to those who never heard is that those who repent of their sin and seek forgiveness from God are unknowingly saved by Christ, and those who reject what God has revealed to them are not saved. These days, that has become much less of an issue but you cannot tell me that in the past, that everyone who never heard of Christ went to hell. That's absurd. This is part of why I utterly reject Calvinism. Calvinism is unbalanced, ignores inconvenient scriptures and portrays God as heartless and cruel, when He is not. It is clear from scripture the heart of God is that none would perish and all would come to repentance. A person who repents of their sin and seeks forgiveness from God but did not hear of Christ (through no fault of their own) is yet saved by Christ. God knows who would have accepted Christ if they had the opportunity to hear about Him.
So basically they would just go to hell for not knowing Jesus what about those tribe that never had a contact outside of their people? Like wut?
This sounds like someone who wants you to believe blindly and not question anything.
Arguments like this are what have kept me away from christianity so many years.
@Carlos Lp: That's going to be to your detriment. Everyone has free will, and on the day of judgment you blaming someone else for you choosing not to come to God will not save you.
I would stop focusing on the debates and arguments, get into the scriptures and accept God wholeheartedly, if you haven't. It's about a personal relationship with thim,and a handful of people do not represent all of Christianity. Jesus does.
@@Spiritualchick82how can you blindly believe in a god that you don’t truly have faith in, you can just falsely believe any religion without reasoning
God chooses out of all tribes and nations who he has elected or salvation, that’s how those who have never heard of Jesus Christ personally are saved. God shows his Sovereignty thru this Mystery.✝

😆😅
No where does it say that however God says he will judge based on your works and doesn’t want to see people perish in a way I think it’s for those who have heard and rejected and those who have done evil knowingly despite knowing him or not but idk…Gods ways aren’t our ways
If a person without a bible did look with all their heart and soul and found god in their heart and nature, kind of makes the book pointless.
Here’s the truth guys .. millions of people including children have not had a chance to hear the gospel. That’s why there’s a second resurrection. The faithful will be raised in the first resurrection and all those who haven’t had an opportunity will have one in the second. Furthermore no one goes to heaven or hell when they die. They go to the grave and await the resurrection of Christ. Stop listening to people that don’t keep the commandments of God and parrot what they’ve been told from other false teachers. God is love and desires that NONE perish. Last of all, anyone that rejects Christ does not burn in hell forever , they perish and the judgment is just and short. Lawbreaking Christian’s are still listening to Catholic doctrines on this subject.
Election does not mean I will choose you and you over there and the rest are condemned. Election means I am calling all of you and the ones that respond to me become the elected. It's a bit like me needing some heavy lifting work done at my home and I need some help. I look out into my street and I see five of my friends walking down the street so I call to ALL of them 'would you please come and help me'. Two of them actually respond and come over to my house to help me. They have been elected to do the job even though I called all of them. It is also interesting to note Romans 2 vs 14, 15. That God's righteous law is written on our hearts and God says those people are a law unto themselves as they obey God's law even though they have not heard. Isn't that interesting, Jesus is the only way to God and yet there maybe people who have not heard about Him but still bear witness to their consciences. Jesus died for everyone and wishes all to be saved. We can rest assured that God will not make any mistakes who will be in heaven and who will not. The main thing is to keep sharing the good news about Jesus with everyone as in 'The Great Commission'.
Wow this was an amazing video!
Where do you see the justice in a supposedly perfect being in trusting to spread the key to salvation on limited and imperfect beings that will surely make mistakes and draw people away from God or just not their work properly making sure everyone hears it? There's a missing piece here or God is not just, simple as that.
You are right. I believe the missing piece is the teaching about the eternal destiny of man as heaven or hell is incorrect. I think the Bible says on Judgement Day we are judged by God and then given eternal life if believers, or given eternal death if non-believers. Not eternal torture in hell. "The soul that sinneth. it shall die." Eze 18:20
What part of the holy spirit do you not understand?
What if a baby dies??? That baby has no chance to learn about Jesus before he/she dies... Does it mean that the baby goes to hell or what?
That baby never reached the "age of accountability", which is when a person is old enough to understand that there is a God, a creator. If a person reaches that point in their life and rejects God then that person will go to hell if he/she does not accept God's gift of salvation. But if that person dies before reaching that point in their life, that person will go to heaven.
@@JESUS-SAVES_1975. Thanks for the answer!
Okay, so let me get this straight, if a person who is good, well as good as a good human could be, just never heard about Jesus he must be evil and he or she will burn in hell for all time? Seems like extreme overkill to me. And if you have heard of him it's do it my way or burn? Really? Choices are living in paradise with God in a bliss state for all time and hoping it never gets boring or burn. and while we are talking about burning for all time, I wouldn't even want Hitler to burn for all time, maybe a hundred years or two but forever??, Yikes. , bet they are praying for the sun to explode or a huge asteroid to take out the planet in hell. what happens then?, Or is hell in another dimension?
But what if they come up with a false god and religion and not know it?
@Adam A. And what about good and kind people who never heard of Jesus will they be send to hell? isn't it unfair?
@@ivina6004 It says God will judge according to your works if your good or bad…however the Bible was taught all over but the the disciples were killed by those who rejected Jesus but I don’t think God can just throw people in hell like that he says he doesn’t want to see people judge but it’s God…God is not wicked hell is for those who rejected him and hate him but again why would God bring people here knowing they will never realize that he exists it happens I don’t think God can just kill throw them into hell unless they did something really wicked but even so remember that God says every sun is forgivable expect cursing the Holy Spirit
@@ivina6004 : Don't worry, dear. As we know that God is righteous and just. He will judge everyone rightly and just. He knows everybody's heart. So leave those to God. And we'd better mind our own soul and people around us. That's our duty.
There are no good people. We are all sinners, guilty of offending a holy God and deserving of he'll.
@@ivina6004 there no such thing as a good person other than Jesus
Romans chapters 1-3, where God reveals Himself to all and concludes everyone in sin - both Jews and Gentiles. He gives up those who reject Him the way to save their souls, by grace through faith- like that of Abraham, but now in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and He continues to deal with those who believe in Him, the same way Abraham chose to do, and was imputed to him for righteousness. Thus He imputes the same justification and righteousness to them, undeserving though they are Chapter 4, as when he was justified simply by FAITH! Chapter 5 leads to hope of the promised glory. Chapters 6-7, show how to live this new life as dead to sin and the law, as they live by Faith like that of Abraham; chapter 8, explain how the Holy Spirit helps to get the believer to receive the promised glory Romans 5:1-2.
John 1:1-18; 1 John 5:11-12.
Thus, everyone gets to decide, everyone gets to choose to seek for the light they saw when they opened their eyes at birth, for the first time.
All they needed to do was to be willing!
God then enables them to find Him by the leading of the Holy Spirit by grace through faith in the sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They must then abide in Him till the end, when He returns to redeem His purchased possession and present them faultless before the presence of God the Father, just as He promised. Matthew 24:13; John chapters 10-17.
How people were saved before the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, on the cross, His burial and resurrection.
The sinless Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. His blood was shed for the forgiveness of sins of Adam and Eve and their descendants. Abel offered the sacrifice of a lamb, and his blood gained the life of God, for it spoke, even after His death.
Some of their offspring took matter into their hands, as there was no law stipulating punishment for sins, thus, Cain and Lamech began the mystery of iniquity, which lasted for 70×7 years Genesis 4.
That generation was wiped out Genesis 9, and the laws began with God laying some legal foundation of man to be his brothers keeper and would answer for him.
Noah sacrificed to God after the flood and the blood of the sacrificial animal availed for whosoever would believe God.
Then, everyone turned their back on God, until God found Abraham, who made himself available to God.
Thus, God provided Himself a Lamb- for a generation of Israel, as Abraham had told Issac by faith. Genesis 22:8, since God held Himself accountable for killing the first sacrificial animal, for the salvation of the lost soul of man. God became liable, to righteously judge and condemn Himself, so He got the second person of the Godhead- Jesus Christ, the image of God, that was the model for the creation of man Genesis 1:26-28 (man lost this glorious image at fall, and became as we are today Genesis 5:3).
Until God finishes dealing with iniquity, by paying for it, for loving man, so much, sin will still be evolving.
God made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Israel to become His model man, but the devil thwarted His every attempt by manipulating the essence of man and perverting his genetical makeup. Thus, we have giants, werewolves, mermaids, centaurs, minotaurs, dinosaurs, etc.. ( they were all wiped out - Caleb and Joshua and their descendant, King David and his men wiped out the remnants of the giant).
The devil became livid with rage, and proceeds to wipe out all children during the time that prophecy about the salvation of man would happen- Egypt- Moses; Bethlehem- Jesus Christ; and now, worldwide, when the Messiah will return to pick up and ransom members of His body, God's purchased possession, and to become God's ultimate Creation - Jesus, the Head, and regenerated man, His body, to sit at the right hand of God the Father, in heavenly places. (Lucifer used to be the closest being to the throne of God, but now, man, even flesh that he so dispise, will be higher than him, since he was cast out from heaven Luke 10:18-19, and God gave authority to and His glory to man, John 17:22; Isaiah 42:8!
(This is too much for Satan to handle, so he now knows he has limited time to exact vengeance on man, thus, these tumultuous times!).
Since Abraham, Israel went to Egypt, to pay for Abraham's sin by going into Hagar- Sarah's Egyptian slave, for 400 years ( 430, because Moses didn't coordinate with God before acting as the Messiah, so he acted 10 years prior to due time, and spent 40 years in training, and was finally tested at the burning bush, how not to act before God speaks, and to exactly as He commands, no matter how senseless Exodus 4.
Israel got out of Egypt by the blood of the Lamb - a Lamb for a household.
But Moses forgot to ask God what to do with them, but listened to his father in law, Jethro, and brought about God's Jealousy, so He made an unscheduled appearance to Israel, for which they were not prepared. So, Israel rejected God Exodus 19, and this removed the cover they also must now each provide a sacrificial animal for each of their sins or pay with their lives.
Thus, all who died in obedience were kept in Abraham's bosom, from Abel to the thief on the right side of Jesus, that believed in Him.
God had no dealings with everyone else, Deuteronomy 4:19; Ephesians 2:12, and they will be judged by their own conscience, according to their beliefs Romans 2:14-16, and that, by Jesus Christ.
Israel disobeyed God. They sinned and must finish the 70×7 term, outside of the promised land.
Daniel prayed to God to remind Him about the due time, but Israel as a nation wasn't ready.
So, God made him shut the book Daniel 12:4 and brought in the ultimate dispensation of grace to usher in the Kingdom of God among His beloved Israel- as their Emmanuel.
But they had gone back to Egypt as they had threatened Numbers 14; Jeremiah chapters 41-44. So, for them to be forgiven, they must cross the river once again, signifying completely dead to sin, and a new life in God through the Lamb that was coming to pay the ultimate price for sin, as at the beginning- Jesus Christ ( He was taken back to Egypt, so He can trace back the journey for Israel, crossing both the Red sea, and the river Jordan, as the Son of God, and Son of Man Abraham, delivered from bondage of judgment.
That was why God sent Jesus Christ, the express Image of the Godhead, to finish all transgressions. Unfortunately, they rejected and killed Him. So, this ushered in the mystery that God had hidden from the foundation of the world - Jews and Gentiles becoming one in Christ Jesus John 1:12-14; Ephesians 2:14; Romans 8:16-18! Both now, by grace through faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, become the sons and daughters of God, even so, by FAITH!
Anyone who misses this great salvation story will have to pay for their sins by themselves- going through the tribulation and resisting the angry Satan, who will demand their head!
In His righteosness, God made provisions also for this group Revelation 11:2a.
We all get to search for all these things to confirm if it is so or not. Let us not neglect so great salvation of our souls Hebrews 2:3-4!
The scriptures for the dispensation of grace were already shut in Luke 4:17-20, and it was finished on the cross John 19:30. There remains 1 week year for the mystery of iniquity to complete, even Jesus Christ said it Matthew 18:21-22! Then, all iniquity will cease for all eternity. Man will be ransomed, redeemed, regenerated, restored to glory, and reconciled with God!
We are about to complete the cycle of the circle- we are around Genesis 6 at this time, which will usher in the day of vengeance of our God Isaiah 61:2; 63:4; which will lead to chapter 5, during the millennium Isaiah 65, and final judgment Isaiah 66.
Then, back to the new heaven and the new earth, with man, Jesus Christ, sitting at the right hand of God, where no flesh can ever be!
Satan and his minions become a spectacle for those pilgrims that must now go yearly to Jerusalem, and now, they can observe the sabbath of God, which was completed in Christ Jesus Colossians 2. He became the rest, or Sabbath for whosoever would believe God through Him, in this dispensation! Hebrews chapters 3 and 4!
Take a long overdue REST, IN JESUS CHRIST!
Revealed in nature??? Can you elaborate?? I desperately want to understand all of this but it does not make sense.
Naturally as created beings our desire is to seek our Creator. If there is creation, there is Creator. I think nature means creation of all things in nature.
You can look around and see everything that God created. Many are so blind they can't see anything, they are spiritually dead. Once your eyes are open and see that CLEARLY there's a creator God who designed this whole world and everything that lives and breathes, you'll see.
@@laurenpatricia411I think I was referring to how they would know about Jesus specifically
They are better off not knowing because believing in a fictional person is detrimental to your health.
.
It's not a fictional person, it's a real person
Jesus Christ was a historical person who existed, and archaeologists have proven his existence, as well as several other biblical events
My Christian friends believe that 2,000 years ago a teenager got magically pregnant and gave birth to a GOD. My Jewish friends (the chosen people) reject the story.
Honest. The native peoples before the contact with Europeans, hundreds of millions who lived in India, China, South-East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and never heard about Jesus will burn in Hell forever cuz Jesus is love.
What about the people on north sentinel island ?
Excellent point
Nothing this guy said was clear. Did everyone before the bible was written go to hell or heaven?
Not ATRUE WE ARE SOUOS WE ALL SEEK GOD WITHIN, AND TGERE IS HIS KINGDOM, WITHIN!
He said a lot but didn't answer the question.
He did answer. The word says
Deuteronomy 4:29 But from there you will search again for the lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.
If you want the Lord, he will reach you. If you don’t want him, you’ll stay in the dark. The problem with people is Romans 3:11 No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. People need to repent and seek the Lord. He will reach them.
No he didn't actually, all he did was say a lot of spin and then tells us not to worry and ignore the original question.
People do think outsides of themselves, and that's why people's around the world have asked themselves is there a higher power. And to explain the natural world the answer that most societies have come up with deities.
But the question is what happens to those that have not heard of Christ in particular, before and after his religion was founded.
Why hasn't an all powerful God made his presence known to them?
So his plan was to send missionaries around the world to indoctrinate people that have had their own religious beliefs for millennia? And if they reject these beliefs that are alien and foreign to them, then they will burn in Hell?
That's not an answer at all.
I think an all powerful God that professes to love the world would be fairer to his Subjects. A Godv that teaches love thru his son would have a better sense of justice and benevolence, based on what the Bible says.
That's about as nonsensical to believing a talking snake and a piece of fruit caused the downfall of man and a so-called all powerful all seeing God was blindsided andunable to forsee all of that and stop the act from occurring in the first place.
I could go on about things in the Bible that don't make sense. And if people believe these things that's fine. My problem is when anyone of any religion forces their views on others, or start wars because of their religion.
Missionaries destroyed ancient religions, art, music, etc by introducing them to Christianity. They didn't want Christianity, they didn't need Christianity. Christianity taught them violence at any cost and corruption at every level. The Crusades are one of the darkest pieces of history. Christianity is just one of many religions and one of the great religions that allows mega churches to teach their gospel while their pastors demand Rolex watches and private planes. Reality has much more appeal these days than blind faith.
Oh like the Myans? Or the Aztecs? The Myand that sacrificed live humans? Or the Aztecs that were know for their warrior culture?
And it was Christianity that caused the 1914 Chrismas truce... were they stopped fighting... because of Jesus.
Great video on this topic. Frank Tureks video on RUclips also gives a great answer to this question.
As someone who is interested in spirituality and loves the teachings of Jesus Christ, along with ancient and modern Eastern Spiritual Masters, I am personally drawn towards teachings which are based on love, rather than those based on fear.
We all can have our own faith and beliefs. I just find it difficult to believe that one would be condemned to Hell, forever, for not renouncing all other beliefs in favour of Jesus Christ. Sounds to me that people after Jesus Christ made that bit up. Seems a bit too convenient... I might well be wrong and if I am, sorry.
Christianity and the cultures who actively spread it, appear to have had an expansionist agenda.
I'm not saying this was incorrect. That fact that it happened, is happening, is truth and must be respected.
I just find it hard to believe any one that says their way is the only way, is a credible source to be listened to...
How could you possibly know that for real? Have you studied every other religion in the universe and practiced all of them to the pinnacle that they all can be practiced and experienced the gift that that brings? Are you therefore able to independently verify your claim, in a truely unbiased way? Did God speak to you and tell you this in clear terms?
So many have died after being branded a heretic. The killers said they were right and judged others as wrong. What happened to 'love thy neighbour'?
I think there is a danger of supremacism and ignorance.
I personally want to keep my options open and have my own unique relationship with God based on truth, love and light.
Hope these words are not offensive to anyone here. That was not my intention.
Please forgive me if I have upset you. If i have, I am sorry for my ignorance, repent and pray to the Lord to guide me on the right path 🙏🏽
Don't use verse only, read the whle context of romans 3.
I don't know? I've heard the gospel so many times from so many preachers that if you're not careful it can become damning. And in a way to me that does feel like sorcery. The rabbis in Israel condemned Jesus Christ as a sorcerer who practiced magic arts. Now whether you wanna believe that they blasphemed the Holy Spirit I'll leave that up to you? But traditionally from what I've heard in Judaism hell was a place called purgatory. And so in the old testament if you were good you would enter into paradise after death. If you were bad you were sent to Hades. There's that story of the rich man and Lazarus that Jesus told. The question is the rich man in hell and is that his eternal state? Because it isn't just a fictional story. Apparently these were real people and so that means the rich man is still burning in hell today awaiting the judgemental at the white throne for the lake of fire. Now that sounds harsh we'll it is because that's how some interpret the new testament and it may be true even in the old testament. Those destroyed in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are still burning in hell today. I don't like saying it but what happens to those who reject Christ or who have never heard the gospel? Go on I wanna hear what you think the Bible says about the topic? Don't just candy coat it and say they'll be lost forever or they'll spend an eternity without Christ. That may all be true but are you holding something back? What happens when you die if you don't have Christ?
Dude im sorry who are these people who appoint themselves as "christian authorities" LOL I will trust in God to judge me not the monkeys who think this or that translation/interpretation of scripture is true and therefore hate and judge me. The nature they speak of is true, however from this inherent godly belief we had hundreds of religions stemming from polytheism and monotheism over the millennia so obviously the "nature" wasnt very clear...then thousands of years later we had Jesus to clarify it for us, that doesnt mean everyone else who was confused is in hell, thats absurd and fanatical.
even the 12 apostles never heard about jesus because the letter J only invented on year 1524. Jesus is not the true name of messiah. Open your mind, save your soul.
Acts 4:12 - There is no salvation by anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved.”
Well, will you tell us all the name???
Thank you
They went to hell for tens of thousands of years!
Unfortunately, we are dealt different ends of the carrot stick yes we have the Internet modern technology, but we are also be in klled by the food industry and lead into darkness by our leaders and oppressed by them if you ask me other countries and more deeply rooted in faith, then we are in America
Good job avoiding the question the Bible does not answer this question so you make stuff up.
Wow! This is the sort of response one gives when they don’t know the answer to something but they are much too arrogant and pompous to say that they simply don’t know. This so-called pastor uses select Bible verses to try to cloak his ignorance. A child who has never heard about God, or who grew up in a religion that told him or her that Zeus or Odin or a stone is God, won’t ever seek out Jesus or the Christian version of God if they are thoroughly at ease in their religious practices. Those who have been raised to believe that human sacrifice will lead to a bumper harvest, would have lived that way generation after generation, and wouldn’t have viewed human sacrifice as wrong, but good and necessary for the survival of their people. A good example is God ordering Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Did Abraham say no? He did as his God commanded him. Similarly will other religionists adhere to their faith, and they cannot be judged based on Christian standards, because they never heard or knew about a Jesus or a Christian God. Furthermore, the message of forgiveness of sins and redemption may be the message that Jesus preached, but it isn’t the exact same message of Jewish scripture. The God of Noah who destroyed the earth via flood, may not even be the God of Moses who led the children of Israel out of Egypt and destroyed nations and armies, and is certainly not the God of Jesus who forgives sins.
Christianity flourished after the 19th century. So, tell us what happened to those who didn't know Jesus from 1st AD till now? What happens to the people who were born into islam, buddhism or Hinduism and never heard of Jesus and died?
Every culture had their beliefs and their beliefs were influenced by the environment, society, natural events/phenomenas that they witnessed.
This video doesn't really answer that question.
but just because they died doesn't mean their souls are not at rest waiting for the big day right?
@@jdssurf how will they be saved if they don't know Jesus?
@babushka9261 because they will know him when Jesus comes back for all our souls and then they will face God at that time and be given that chance, why would God be so numb to not give ppl a chance who never even heard of him
@@jdssurf thats why it is better we remain as lost sheeps in the wilderness then knowing Christianity, do you agree with me?
@@jdssurf thats why it is better we remain as lost sheeps in the wilderness then knowing Christianity, do you agree with me?
What about jungle people?
This video was meant for those people. All people in isolated areas in the world who have not received the gospel
Interesting that the thumbnail image for this video is an indigenous person. If God is revealed in nature-and I believe He is-well, few humans are more in tune with nature as native people, and their godly beliefs grew out of that relationship. But the problem is that Christianity would condemn such nature-oriented beliefs as pantheism. So how do these people win? If an Amazonian Indian goes his entire life never seeing a missionary or hearing about Christ, and has only God-as-nature to lean on for understanding, he's condemned anyway? Doesn't seem fair, any more than people who lived and died before Christ was born should be condemned for rejecting Christ.
Romans 2:12-16 from the New International Version (NIV):
"12 All 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. 13 For 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. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares."
The natives will be saved if they instinctively do the things of the Law. Of course it is much difficult for them because they don't have the clear instructions of what to do as compared to the Christians who have the instruction manual in the bible.
Yeah you didn't answer the question come on now
1:50? Why is it foolish?
In reality, it common to human to believe in higher being & follow some good morality...
Every civilization has a form of a god.
And they woship it.
It also in different manner, some are good & some are evil.
In the end everyone will bow before the Lord.
The Kingdom of heaven is among us.
Without Christ the connection between GOD and humans cannot be made.
With Christ we become one with GOD as Christ is one with GOD.
Jesus answered, “It is written in your own Law that God said, ‘You are gods.’
John 10:34
Everything is not in the bible , GOD does not think" like us ,
You people make assumptions based on how you interpret certain things , and the bible is very symbolic , "you" dont know how GOd will judge anyone , only he will know who he deems worthy !
Two things I don’t like about GOT QUESTIONS: They are Calvinist and they are Calvinist.
It would be unjust to condemn to hell someone who never heard about Jesus. That’s not right
You are absolutely correct, it would be unjust for God to condemn someone for not hearing about christ; however, in this video the person states that someone is not judged for not hearing the gospel, but for simply sinning against God. The law is written on all of our hearts (morality) and we all have acted against it. For this reason every person in the world will go to hell unless they have faith in christ.
@@eastdragon1676 “Everyone will go to hell unless they have faith in Christ.” What if they never heard of Christ? This is what you have been brainwashed to think. You are contradicting yourself also
@james0805 how am I contradicting myself? I said that people go to hell for commiting sin, since the wages of sin are death (hell). Everyone who sins deserves to go to hell, and they do not deserve God's grace. Do these people deserve to a chance at salvation? On what basis? The point I'm trying to make is that it is not unfair if God chooses to save some and not others. He can do whatever he wants and still be just

I believe there is a God. But what you are saying is as long as you believe that there is a God and follow your heart, you will be saved.. even you don't know Jesus.
So that makes the conclusion that even without knowing Jesus, you can still be saved.
I just don't like the idea of some Christians using Jesus to manipulate people. I'm pretty sure those kinds of Chirstians have a special place in Hell that's beyond being a psychopath.
Although it does seem like God gives everyone the ability to seek him and find him, what about the verses that say God hardens those who don’t believe, they seem contradictory to other verses
I am a Christian no matter what the truth is self-evident.
nothing happens
Does not really answer the really deep question
Those who are saved are saved for believing on Jesus Christ and those who aren't saved are those who didn't believe on the biblical Jesus Christ and hell and the lake of fire awaits them.
You have not answer the question relating to aborigines or people who are totally cut off from civilization, totally no knowledge of sin or salvation and the Bible.
He did answer, all men are accountable to there knowledge of God that he has revealed in creation and in their conscience.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.”
Romans 1:18-23 NASB2020
So heres the thing, all men regardless of who they are or where they come from are already guilty sinners. Having never heard the gospel isn’t going to send a person to hell, they are already heading there naturally, salvation is a gift from God and God alone.
“For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will show compassion to whomever I show compassion.” So then, it does not depend on the person who wants it nor the one who runs, but on God who has mercy.”
Romans 9:15-16 NASB2020
If a person dies having never heard the gospel but they recognized God as creator and they followed their conscience, its safe to say that they will be shown mercy.
Blessings
sir they will be held accountable by their works it’s simple stop trying to over complicated it
@@JustAworm82how can the aborigines recognised God as their creator and follow their conscious, you don't seems to understand what's a aborigines.
