Good we are on the same page.
I am on chapters and pages ahead of that you call same page

tctrills:
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?
1. What in word, thats five letters, is Jesus saving from?
2. What does a judge check and plan to offer someone accused of a crime that carries a death penalty?
3. What should the accuse do, if he/she has no SAN to represent him/her
4. Did Adam, Eve, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Moses, Elijah et cetera hear about Jesus?
5. Are Adam, Eve, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Moses, Elijah et cetera saved without hearing about Jesus Christ?

So are you saying that people can be saved by conscience? If conscience is enough to save then why did Jesus have to come? We all could have been saved by conscience then?

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?

But for the grace of GOD in YESHUA, the CHRIST... all humanity would have been lost. Those whom HE saves from judgment are justified - GOD having stood in their place, but those who are not must pay for their own sins.

If conscience could save men from sin before the coming of Christ, then why did Jesus Christ need to come. Since we could be saved without him by conscience then there would not have been any need for his coming.
That means if he did not come, we all would have been saved by conscience. Or let's say there are 2 saviours according to you, conscience and Jesus Christ.

I would like to know
After Adam and Eve the first Name WRITTEN for a remembrance regarding resurrection is "ABEL" {Hebrews 11:4} this man was faithful so in God's memory Abel's name was recorded as a RIGHTEOUS man.
Many like Abel also practiced pure worship so their names were WRITTEN in God's memory as RIGHTEOUS ones. But there were many who never knew anything about pure worship though they practiced all forms of worship they met or knew since they want to worship God so God recorded their names too because they lived by conscience as UNRIGHTEOUS ones as they don't know the righteousness of God. Act 24:15

But most humans were heartless they don't care if their lifestyle is negatively affecting others these ones has been forgotten they will not be remembered during the resurrection of the dead! Psalms 9:17 smiley

Which law was Paul talking about? Was it the law of Moses?
Since the time of Adam, all humans have an idea of Good and evil. This knowledge was the most important ingredient in building society as we know it. So even without the law of Moses, people could sin.

Odebayo4010:

I perfectly understand you. Let's take a step back.

So you are saying that in the days of Moses, people found salvation through having a clear conscience right? Now my question is if a clear conscience could save in the days of Moses, then what is the purpose of the coming of Christ? So according to you, if Christ did not come, salvation would still be obtainable via the conscience path. Hence, according to you, Christ coming did not usher in salvation since it was already available through a clear conscience. So why did Christ come?

Same Law Jesus was referring to in Matthew 5:17-18
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Romans 5:13
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law.

Adam won't have transgressed if there was no law prohibiting him from that particular tree!

You observed wrong. But then, many Nigerians are frustrated so I see where you are coming from. I advise that we don't go off-topic and make this about ourselves. I understand that we don't always have all answers so it's okay to say you don't have the answers and allow others to share their opinions.

I think we are mostly on the same page. So Paul was talking about the law of Moses. My point is, even before the coming of Moses, men understood good and evil.

Ans:
Death (i.e. the wages of sin is death. We are saved from the second death, and Lake of Fire)

2. What does a judge check and plan to offer someone accused of a crime that carries a death penalty?
Ans:
Judges would ask if has a legal representative, if answer is No, then, will offer the accuser free legal aid, that comes with having a lawyer free

3. What should the accuse do, if he/she has no SAN to represent him/her
Ans:
The advantage of the free legal aid the justice system provides, accept the services of the available SAN (e.g. Senior Advocate Numero Uno

Ans:

Sorry the jesus they gave you is an impostor and can't save anyone. The msg that brings salvation comes at endtime. Even your pastors will hear it cos they teach error. The dead you talked of will all reincarnate/reborn/born again to hear it bf the end. Without believing that msg you can't get into the kingdom. Your religions are all in error

Finally you have been able to provide direct answers. So you answer is, on Judgement day, everyone would have a second chance to accept Jesus Christ. Do you have any scripture that says so or is this just your opinion.

The bible also revealed that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that he is Lord. So are you saying that everyone shall be saved?

1 John 2:1
'My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin.
But if anyone does sin,
we have an Advocate who pleads our case before the Father.
He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous.

Read my lips. In the court of Heaven, the Just Judge would give everyone the opportunity to accept Jesus, as an Advocate who will plead people's cases before God
