Someone please help me if I'm misunderstanding...if someone never knows of god because they were never told of him, they are not going to heaven? How is this their fault? Shouldn't it be part of god's plan for them to know him? Please don't criticize me, I'm just trying to understand.
Good luck getting that one answered. According to some....the all-knowing, gracious God they worship intentionally creates his flock in his image......knowing that some of them will never hear of his word, and that their souls are doomed. He knows all, right?
It's about the biggestcase of "class envy" I've ever seen cited.
Jeff ...did you ever think that God, being all knowing, KNOWS who would accept His way and who wouldn't? I mean, I don't know for sure, but maybe he put everyone in their place for His OWN reason ....
PT,
So god has already chosen who will enter heaven? Am I understanding that right? If he believes someone will not believe in him, he has created their path to hell? I'm assuming that is not what you are saying that is why I ask.
If god has a plan for everyone, why wouldn't that plan include believing in him?
