The problem is that your blaming God for mans error. God has already instructed us to spread the gospel around the world. Yet there are places on earth till this day that hasn't heard the gospel like China. Now ask yourself is it God that is stopping you from going to China to preach the gospel? This is why God is very angry when we don't preach the gospel because there are potential Christians lost everyday just because of our Laziness. Left to God everyone would be a Christian but he doesn't like to intefer.


Okay , so let me see, over this period of hundreds to thousands of years , all those who died without hearing the gospel are doomed and damned and their blood is on the heads of lazy christians ??

We get you now !

undecided Please, stop talking commenting and spreading ignorance. Christianity got to China sometime in the 8th Century.

Only in a very small part and that was over 600 years after the first gospel was preached. So back to question , what happened to those who never heard the gospel in China between 30AD to 635AD ? Remember we are talking about millions of people here !

Absolutely not a Christian especially according to your warped definition wink


By the way where is your answer to the question ? Don't tell me they are all burning in hell right now according to your weird theory of predestination , lol. cheesy

Do you even know what being a Christian means?

Your over zealousness have suddenly becloud your bible reasoning. You have suddenly become a god to yourself judging scriptures by what your limited 'brain' adduce to be right or wrong. Frosbel's brain have invariably become the benchmark for God's character and mindset hence if it does not add up to Frosbel it isn't true and it is invariably summed up as evil by him. Frosbel's logical reasoning is become his god since God's word can't cut it for him.

If you like talk thrillion of people... Who created them? Who has the absolute sovereignty to determine their fate?

What happened to the world that was destroyed before this one, did you not read that only one household survived the wrath of God?

Does God operate on the same emotional frequency as you?

Mate, I don't need a Calvinist to teach me about Christianity. That in itself is false doctrine, so what business do I have with you ?

I am still a student of Yeshua.

The God that you and your fellow Calvinists serve is surely not the God of the bible, he is a cruel sadist formed from the wicked imaginations of control freaks like John Calvin , Jonathan Edwards etc. He does not exist.

Let me throw in some small reasoning here :

The God that will judge men by a certain criteria which he did not make available to their knowledge and then condemn them to eternal torture because they were supposedly predestined to damnation is SATAN not JEHOVAH.

Repent !

Lol.. Why don't you deal with issues head-on and not try mix inappropriate topics to make yourself feel better. What has calvin got to do with my conversation with you here. Did I ever tell you I am a part of any christian group or movement?

How can you be a student of Christ when you pick and choose what you want from the book that serves as a manual and a resource for a Christ centered life?

Oh dear.
I just saw the thread you created on your journey to endless search of the church history.
The truth is that the end of your search will create more doubts and even backslideness if you insist on that quest.
This was why Paul warned the Colossians to beware of the philosophers of this world, follow their writings and your faith goes out the window in no time.
The Just shall live by faith! Either this or you go down to sense ruled philosopher who believes in one God for all the religions.
Believe me, those new 'discoveries' are enticing for someone with a probing mind, that was how Grail message nearly led me astray before I found Christ.
Don't wait till you get to the point of no return brother!

Strictly based on the intelligence we see everywhere - the cosmos, man, philosophies, technology, soul transcendence etc. It's obvious to me there is an intelligence - some thinking - behind these developments.

There is no permanent 'form' to the Intelligence. Intelligence is a quality, not an object. All appearances of form are actually illusions, to help the observer identify intelligence, or its fruits.

God scatter isreal, for 1900 there is no nation of isreal, the scattered isreal became a nation in 1948,why? The gospel has been preach and isreal are about to live in the sight of God (the saints) now that you have hared the
gospel, you have no excuse.[/quote]

If we have to agree with your line of reason, we should be practicing judaism since the people of isreal are jews

All appearance of form is illusion. All ancient cultures know this. The Universe itself seen physically is an illusion. The shape or form it takes when you observe it depends on your location in the various dimensions that make up existence. On the highest levels of perception you'll probably just see a tiny blob of light if anything.. Form is an aid to help those tiny bits of intelligence (like us) disconnected from the Source to experience what we call life.

Through research and study. Do you know that as earth humans we only see around 1% of what is around us? We can only see that tiny bit of matter which reflects llght. But 99% of matter in the universe does not reflect light, so we can't (ordinarily) see it. There are many realms of existence.

Some Countries' population are not even up to 33 million. Actually, China ranks among the top 10 largest christian countries.So make it count when you say one percent! Anyway, let's stick to the thread and not derail further.
Yeah, I know but you get the point am trying to make right.

Well,forget about the 2000yr Gospel coz Nigeria is doing exceedingly well compared to Egypt- it took 5000 yrs up until Mubarak's reign for them to accept democracy.Well done Nigeria.

Using bible logic.

God created the world in 7 days.
A day in eyes of God is like a thousand years to man.

So, in the eyes of man, God created the world in 7000 years.

IN THE EYES OF GOD, THE GOSPEL GOT TO AFRICA IN 2 DAYS.
In the eyes of man its 2000 YEARS.

Forget the circumstances through which the gospel came into africa.

The circumstances that also made joseph a leader was also pathethic but in the end, he rose and shone his light.

There are some parts of the world that has not heard the gospel.

Op you should be ashamed of your self for asking such a question. You have a brain. Use it.

You are doing this and probably grinning like a fool thinking of how smart you are but left for me there is nothing much I have to tell you. Whatever lies ahead of you will be discovered with your own hands.

Frosbel u are just here to find fault. U are not interested in knowing d real reason behind ur question.


It took 200years for d message to get to Nigeria so what? Are people now viewing d message or taking d message about Jesus Christ seriously??
My point is dis, d time frame does not matter, buh wah matters is ur view towards d message u receive.
I noticed u made a comment about wah will happen to those dat died without receiving d message. The bible assures us that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the un righteous. So those who are resurrected will have d opportunity to learn about God. If u really want to learn about wah u are asking, I will spare tym to explain it more. But from what I observed from ur comments, u just want to find fault. PEACE.

Oh really, jesus created the Universe? Wow!

frosbel my brotha, please, how far is the middle east from Nigeria that it should take the Creator of this universe 2,000 years to extend his 'good news of the kingdom' from that region to Nigeria? He deliberately left us 'in the dark' for that period. Why? He saw our ancestors engaging in 'sinful practices' like 'idol worshiping', and said, ''Oh, I'll just leave them for another 2,000 years, till the time comes when the white man in Europe needs slaves, and lands rich in gold and silver to exploit and get rich, before the news reaches them''. This christian 'God' is indeed strange in his operations, and sure seems to favor white folk over blacks!

You are a confused person, earlier on you said the gospel came to africa 2000 years ago and now someone has pointed to you it was in Egypt and Ethiopia 43 AD and you are still trying to hold your grounds.

Bro listen, live your life to please God, repent and accept gospel, if you die and there is no God, you have nothing to loose
