Those who haven't heard about God.

Post #1

Post by Woland »

Hello all,

Keeping it simple as usual, why are there people who never get to even hear about (your, or in some cases any) "god"?

Is it reasonable to believe that a conceptual, benevolent and powerful deity wouldn't make itself and its message known to each of us if it was capable of doing so?

How can we explain the "apparent" geographical favoritism of the allegedly all-powerful Bible deity in making itself known?

Romans 5:18-20 (Weymouth’s)
It follows then just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which to the whole race, so also is the result of a single degree of righteousness is a life giving acquittal which extends to the whole race. (19) for as thought the disobedience of one individual the mass of mankind were constituted as sinners, so also though the obedience of one, the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous. Now law was brought in later on so that the transgression might increase, but sin increased, grace is overflowed.




1 Corinthians 15:22-24

22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

The word church is a Greek word ekklicia meaning the called out. There are two churches in the Bible. The true Church which is Christ with in. And the false church which is Babylon.
I understand the purpose of the false church.

What is the point of the true Church if all of mankind will be dragged to God no matter what the Church does?
