What happens to those who have never heard about Jesus?.
what will be the faith of those people.

Kobojunkie:
God already judged, and condemned the entire world for the sin of unbelief when He judged and condemned the first man and woman for the same sin in Genesis 3 vs 16 - 19. He is not going to judge the world again since God didn't make a mistake in His first judgement. All those who do not believe in God are condemned to perish in their grave .I.e. cease to exist or return to dust from which they were made., this when they die.

jesus Christ explained in John 3 vs 16 - 21 that only those who believe in Him will not remain condemned to perish. John the Baptist reiterated the same in John 3 vs 36

Humanoid01:

I have three questions from your comment, can you kindly answer them?

1. What is the point existing in the first place if I'm going to cease to exist in the end?

2. If ceasing to exist will be my “punishment” for not believing in God or the gospel through Jesus Christ, then why do I need to bother to believe?

3. If I cease to exist, then what difference would it make since at the end, there will be no consciousness of the consequences of my sins?

Kobojunkie:
1. There is no point - Ecclesiastes 1 vs 1 - 11.

2. You don't need to bother! What Jesus Christ offers is only meant for those who care or desire meaning beyond this seemingly meaningless existence of ours - those who are weary and heavy laden - Matthew 11 vs 28 - 30 .

3. It is not meant to make a difference. Look at it this way, if you cease to exist in the end, it simply means you were not "Son of God" material - what God desires and intends to mine from this herd on earth.

They will be judged based on their works.

Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
2:13[b] For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. [/b]
2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another[/b]
2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

sonmvayina:


Looks like Paul is saying man will be judged based on their actions. There is no where it says anybody must give their life to a fictional jesus.
Just my observation.

22jumpstreet:
First of all the gospel has got nothing to do with God. It did not originate from him nor did he ever say he was sending his son as a sacrifice for sin. What he however gave to humanity is his laws to make life more meaning ful and purposeful. The jews wrote it down and called it the Torah, the igbos passed it down by words of mouth, from generation to generation which they call omenani. All other cultures have the same laws which they passed or wrote down in a way they can understand and teach it to their people...

But the romans under emperor Constantine who wanted a single religion for his empire created the Jesus character and Christianity .

Secondly nobody is getting condemned. Man is made up of God spirit + dust of the earth. When God takes his spirit, this is what man refer to as death. The body is then buried or cremated, ultimately turning it to dust. Which is God's judgement of man. The spirit becomes one with God waiting for another opportunity to complete its life purpose on earth..psalm. 104:29-31, Ecclesiastes 12:7

Humanoid01:

1. Then why do you even try to preach to people to repent from their sins?

2. Why are you telling me not to bother? Is it not important that I believe? If I don't have to bother, then I'll ask the same question from number 1: why do you even try to preach to people to repent from their sins? Are you saying that I don't have to believe? Isn't that contradictory to the very act of trying to win souls?

3. You haven't answered that question accordingly. Why shouldn't it make a difference? Of course, not believing is obviously a sign that a person isn't a child of God. If a person isn't a child of God, then he will cease to exist (according to your doctrine). So what difference does it make if I cease to exist? If I know that that will be the ultimate punishment for not being a child of God, then I should not even consider listening to preachers. You're indirectly saying that you are wasting your time preaching to people.

Anas09:

You make the Lord Jesus a liar here.
There's judgement coming and those whose names are not written in the Lambs book of life shall perish in a lake of fire which burns forever and ever.
Our bodies goes to the grave, our spirits/returns to God for accountability.
Say what you like, that won't change

Kobojunkie:
1. Mainly because one of the terms and conditions of the agreement/contract between God and myself as a follower of Jesus Christ is that I preach His Truth to those He sends me to preach to.

I don't preach that they repent from their sins but instead that they repent - change their lives and hearts - in order to become Sons of God.

2. It isn't compulsory that you desire to become a Son of God. As I mentioned earlier, not everyone is "Son of God" material. Those who are weary and are heavy laden- those who seek meaning beyond this existence - are called on and even then only few make it.

3. Belief in God is of choice and everyone is capable of that choice. No one is born believing, we learn along the way and come to that decision whenever we are ready and deem it necessary.

I would vote against your "listening" to preachers too mainly because a majority of them are liars out there. While searching for meaning for my existence, I came to the realization that 99.999% of so-called preachers preach their own truths(doctrines and traditions of men) and not that actually written of in Scripture of Him. I sought God directly and found Him that way for myself and I would that everyone do same.

I tell you about Him because I am commanded by my master to do so - one of the commandments in His Covenant. The choice to reject or accept Him is yours and yours alone.

Humanoid01:

You are one of those preachers, why should I believe you when you are haven't provided a strong back up for your conclusion that God will cause all those who die with unbelief to cease to exist?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not an atheist. I'm a believer in God and His Holy word, I'm asking you these questions from a general premise to test-prove your stance on absolute cessation of existence in the context of God's judgement.

Kobojunkie:
Test my stance on absolute cessation of existence in the context of God's judgement? I don't follow.

Are you suggesting that God's judgment as declared by Him in Genesis 3 vs 16 - 19 is not absolute .i.e. not to be trusted?

Humanoid01:

Are you saying that man has no spirit and soul, just body? It is clear that that passage is talking about the physical body which was made from sand. If the physical body returns to dust, where do the spirits and souls go to?

If I may ask, why do you serve God?

Then the Lord God took dust from the ground and made a man. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nose, and the man became a living thing - Genesis 2 vs 7

19 You will work hard for your food, until your face is covered with sweat. You will work hard until the day you die, and then you will become dust again.
I used dust to make you, and when you die, you will become dust again.” - Genesis 3 vs 19

This is fact. It is the truth...if i missed anything point it out.

Again where did you get this from??

I know the truth revealed in the bible.

Dtruthspeaker:
22jump and Sonmvayi are one and the same person.

And his basis is because he has spoken to some rabbis who told him his own rubbish.

MaxInDHouse:


First you need to know what will happen to those who heard whether they accepted it or rejected it before talking about people who never had the opportunity at all.
Let me hint you!

God promised (through His Son) that all those who heard it and believe will live forever while those who heard but rejected it will perish! John 3:16

So there is a provision for those who had no opportunity at all. Well God's word said there's going to be a RESURRECTION of both the RIGHTEOUS and the UNRIGHTEOUS! Act 24:15

The RIGHTEOUS are those who have heard about God's righteous standards and subjected themselves to it.
The UNRIGHTEOUS are those who never heard about God's righteous standards but lived by their God's given conscience.

Then the righteous will study God's word with resurrected unrighteous people under a Paradisiac condition. Jesus will make sure that there is no sickness, oldage or death.
That's what Jesus promised the UNRIGHTEOUS thief! Luke 23:43

After 1000 years of their training Satan will be released to tempt them {Revelations 20:1-5} all those who survived Satan's temptation will have their names written for everlasting life while God destroy everyone else along with Satan! Revelations 20:11-15
