For Those Who Never Heard About Jesus, What Is Their Purpose? by tctrills: 9:49am On Jan 08, 2023
I actually have two questions here.
1. What is the life's purpose of those who from the times of Adam, never heard about Jesus Christ.
Why were they created without an opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ?
2. What would be their fate in the end?
Re: For Those Who Never Heard About Jesus, What Is Their Purpose? by Righthussle: 9:51am On Jan 08, 2023
If you think I'll end in hellfire for not knowing Jesus, you'll also end in another hellfire for not following Muhammed.

Na one one.

Religion is a scam.

Why do they need to hear about Jesus?
Nobody was created to hear about Jesus except the people of Israel during his lifetime.

Their fate is not tied to Jesus!

The people of Noah were saved when they believed God through Noah!
Same as the people of Moses, etc.

Says someone who is reading the Quran that was not meant for him grin

This is according to the words of Allah in the Quran.

It is stated in the Quran that no messenger (Rasool) was sent except in the language of his people. That’s the logic of Islam and Quran.

Muhammad only spoke Arabic and hence, according to that Quranic verse, muhammad was sent only to the Arabs and not the whole world as he couldn’t speak all the languages in the world!


And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allāh sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”
-Quran 14:4


Also, it is stated in the Quran that the Quran was revealed to warn the people of Mecca and those around. Quran was not sent to the whole world, if you’re not an Arab, the Quran wasn’t sent to you.


And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allāh and avoid ṭāghūt." And among them were those whom Allāh guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed [i.e., travel] through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.
-Quran 16:36

Allah said that he sent messengers to every nations. Muhammad was sent in the language of his people and the Quran was sent to the people of Mecca and surroundings, you Nigerian Muslims should go and look for your own messengers that was sent to you!


“And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur’ān that you may warn the Mother of Cities [i.e., Makkah] and those around it and warn of the Day of Assembly, about which there is no doubt. A party will be in Paradise and a party in the Blaze.”
-Quran 42:7


Muslims are always quick to lay claim that another part of the Quran said muhammad was sent to the whole world! If that is true, then it negates what Allah said about the

-Quran being sent to the people of Mecca and surroundings

-Messengers being sent in the language of their people (Muhammad could only speak Arabic)

-Muhammad only preached and used wars to convert the people of Mecca and surroundings to Islam and he never commanded his followers to preach his message to the whole world like Jesus did.

Jesus instructed his disciples to preach the gospel to the whole world to highlight the fact that he was sent to the whole world and his message is to the whole world. Muhammad on the other hand never made such a declaration


And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.
-Mark 16:15

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
-Matthew 28:19

I see you already know that you are hellfire bound so now you are looking at other people's cases to see those who shall join you there.

'11For God does not show favoritism.

Iti, I already explained these things in one of my threads

1. Colossians 1:23 KJV
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
.

All creatures under heaven have heard the gospel, no excuses. You have to realise that the NT was written in Greek and the Greeks were noted for their exact tenses

2. Romans 2:13-15 KJV
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. [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: [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 anotherwink


The people who will be justified are the keepers of the law, not the hearers

All humans born through the bloodline of Adam are sinners {Romans 3:23} so death is their reward an in all of them {Romans 5:12} the Good News of God's Kingdom are about the things God promised mankind which will be made possible through the sacrificial death of Christ Jesus. So believing in Jesus is not just a wishful thought but continuous exercise of putting what Jesus taught into practice it's on the bases of this that we shall be forgiven and given the privilege to prove our innocence that if we are perfect like Adam and Eve with nothing hindering us we will be loyal to God completely. Revelations 20:1-5
All those that accept to be like Jesus will be given a Visa to Paradise on planet earth which will last for just 1000 years {Luke 23:43} during that time Jesus is the one that will rule over the entire earth. Daniel 2:44

So if you lived before Jesus or where nobody knew anything about Jesus you will be raised back to life to be there with disciples of Christ if you've lived by conscience in your previous life but if you don't care about conscience {Psalms 9:17} or you've had the opportunity to meet Jesus' true disciples and turned them down God will also forget you in your grave that means no resurrection for you! John 3:18

Good we are on the same page. Christ died for all sins. Now to the next part, do we need to accept Jesus Christ to he save? If yes, what about those who did not hear about him? Or are there 2 standards for salvation?
Again if people can be saved without hearing about Jesus Christ then what is the purpose of preaching if not to save souls?
