TATIME:There is no proof of this in the Bible. Here is the truth on how God will judge those who have heard about Jesus and those who have not. In Romans 2:12-15 it states, “For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law; and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; for not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts ultimately accusing or defending them. In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. ” |

TATIME:God will judge according to the light they have been given. The Scriptural principle if someone lives up to the revealed truth God has already given, no matter how small, he will give them more to pursue until they come to a saving knowledge of him. Light obeyed increases more light. Obey what you know and he will give you understanding of what you don't know. God's grace is great and he does use a supernatural means to rescue people, whether it is an angel or by a missionary sent or directly by Himself. The purpose is to bring people to a saving faith for their sins to be forgiven Mt.13:12: “ For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but to whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away.” If we are teachable, it is profitable, “more will be given .” The condition of increase is by our hearts openness. If you do not respond correctly what light you have been given will be taken away. He who lays hold of truth and uses it will receive more enlightenment, but he who refuses to appropriate truth will lose even the understanding of truth he once had been given. But if someone does not live up to the light given there will be enough to judge them. When they have rejected the light already given, they will not receive any more light instead blindness sets in. John 12:46-48: “I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. ” And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world” He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him-- the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.” They who have rejected God's salvation message have made themselves objects of God’s wrath by refusing the truth, they loved a lie in its place. What you think might happen or might not happen to someone else does not relieve your responsibility on Judgment Day. Although we might not be able to answer the question about those who haven’t heard to the satisfaction of everyone, there are certain things that the Bible has made clear. People who have never heard the gospel will not be judged by God because of the gospel, they will be judged because they are sinful. The gospel is there to cure their sin. It can be seen that God will fairly judge all mankind and that no one can claim that he or she received an unfair hearing. Therefore, the people who ask this question should be very careful not to use this as an excuse for themselves not coming to Christ. It is a fact that people willfully blind themselves. One person put it this way, “Many things in the Bible I cannot understand; many things in the Bible I only think I understand; but there are many things in the Bible I cannot misunderstand” (Anonymous). Mark Twain said, “Its not the things that I don't understand in the Bible that concerns me, but the things I do understand.” We will not be judged on what we do not know as much as we will be judged on what we do know. James 4:17: “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” We are held accountable for what we do know by what we have seen in nature, His creation. So, what of the question of those who have not heard? Are they any less responsible than those who have heard? This cannot be used to relieve the individual of any personal responsibility to God and place it on someone else. To say “what if” is no excuse . Most of the people who say what of the other people have already heard the message of the gospel and rejected it' so they want to find a flaw in the character of God. When one understands there own true position, then the objection falls beyond debate. The writer to the Hebrews remarks, “How can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?” (Heb. 2:3) Rom. 10:17-21: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world .” But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.” But Isaiah is very bold and says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.” But to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” Israel who was given the oracles, the prophets will be held to a higher standard than those on a remote island. To whom much is given much is required. Deut.29:29 says, “The secret things belong to God but those things revealed belong to us and our children.” 2 Cor.2:10-11: “But God has revealed them to us by his spirit, for the spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God…Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.” Again, God has not revealed all but we can trust His judgment completely because it is founded on mercy and motivated by love. Whatever He does will be perfect and just. |

blueAgent:I would simply just re-emphasize, religion is man made and no religion is more truthful than the other, all are created to achieve certain purpose and nothing more.... |

blueAgent:Control and nothing more bro.. You think people go to church and mosque because they love Mohammed and Jesus? Nope..they go there so they don't get burnt in everlasting fire on the last day and also reap reward at the end should they abide by the rules set...!! Discount the fire from religion and you would see what happens .. |

blueAgent:Probation is meant only for those who had not been warned! ![]() From the time of creation there has never been a time God deliver his Judgement on any generation WITHOUT FIRST SENDING HIS SERVANT TO GO AND WARN THEM! So the intended PROBATION is for people of the nations who lived virtuous lives in wherever they may be by conscience but knew nothing about God's law. The gospel of Christ must be preached to them first before God's final judgement, after they've been resurrected as UNRIGHTEOUS (for not knowing the righteousness of the true God) they'll be taught God's righteous decrees during the 1000 years reign of Christ, whoever refuses to yield despite having no alternative form of worship to cause distraction will die naturally at a hundred years of age as a youth {Isaiah 65:20} those who agreed to live as Christians will survive for 1000 years, it's after they've been trained to perfection that Satan will be released to test everyone living on planet earth for the last time {Revelations 20:7-8} by then the grace of Jesus ransom sacrifice can't save anyone again because each will be standing as a perfect man just like Adam! That's why the Bible said whatever each person does that time will serve as the basis to judge them whether they'll live or die forever! Revelations 20:13-15 The 1,000 year reign of Christ is also referred to as the day of judgment, because that's when all the resurrected ones will have to prove before God that if there is no fear of sickness, suffering, poverty or death they will remain loyal to God unlike our first human parents who rebelled against God when they had no reason to do so! Jesus' rulership ends when everyone living on earth by that time have become perfect and after the final test all those who still fell for Satan's tricks will be destroyed with Satan, then after his assignments has been completed, Jesus will hand over everything back to his/our God and King! 1Corinthians 15:24-28 |

Maximus69:Which law, I thought you said the law was abolished? No where in the bible is a hint or evidence of probation ever given in the Bible. its is a grevious sin for one to add to God's word. |

blueAgent:(1) The law that leads to salvation is based on Jesus' thoughts, words and actions. The previous Mosaic laws was to guide the Israelites to this PERFECT law of Christ so that they'll be the nation to teach other nations about the law of Christ! (2)There is! If you don't ask thought provoking questions you won't know! That's why i asked you of what happens to those who never knew God's laws? If God declare them righteous based on their conscience then why are you quoting the Bible as means to attain righteousness? If God declare virtuous people of the nations righteous then all of them should be judge NOT by what God gave the Israelites in the Bible but on conscience! ![]() (3) That is true and it's applicable to those who don't understand God's righteous decrees but trying to establish their own righteousness. Romans 10:2-4 All i've been telling you is that NOBODY gets into God's kingdom without first passing through his righteous decrees and you're here saying it doesn't matter! ![]() |
| Re: What Goes To Heaven Or Hell, Is It Body,soul Or Spirit. by blueAgent(op): 1:02pm On Mar 02, 2020 |
Maximus69:There is no proof of what you wrote here in the Bible. The only sure word is God's word and it says people will be judged by their conscience. In Romans 2:12-15 it states, “For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law; and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; for not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts ultimately accusing or defending them. In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. ” Stop adding to God's word. |

blueAgent:Why are you now quoting the Bible if God will declare people righteous based on CONSCIENCE? ![]() Paul never said the people of the nations will be declared righteous based on their conscience! What he is saying is that their conscience is judging or declaring them righteous on their own, but God will judge them based on his own standard. That's why they must be resurrected as "UNRIGHTEOUS" to be trained as Christians! NOBODY gets into God's kingdom without Jesus! That's what i want you to know! ![]() Where we differ is that you're thinking God will resurrect wicked people and start all over again to judge them! ![]() People like Cain, Noah's stubborn contemporaries, Sodom and Gomorrah, Pharaoh of Egypt and so many other evil people that God have destroyed with his own hands just to line them up for questioning right? ![]() My friend, those ones are gone for good! The UNRIGHTEOUS to be resurrected means people who lived by conscience but NOT according to the righteousness of God! ![]() |

blueAgent:Bible said God will declare some people of the nations righteous by conscience but other people from the same nations must believe in a Jewish teacher! My friend, you're funny Walahi Talahi ![]() So a Muslim, Buddhist, Pagan and so on need not accept the teaching of Christ so far he has good conscience shey? ![]() |
| Re: What Goes To Heaven Or Hell, Is It Body,soul Or Spirit. by Nobody: 7:59pm On Mar 02, 2020 |
blueAgent:What exactly did the Bible say? That people of the nations will be declared righteous by fine works based on conscience or by faith in Christ Jesus? Note that this people have so many customs that God's law forbids amongst his own people! So what exactly are you saying? That God will overlook their worthless traditions, customs, abominable deeda and declare them righteous or they must come to learn about God's righteousness from the Bible (Jewish story book) that you're now quoting? ![]() |

blueAgent, please explain what you mean by "what Bible said" People have been living on this planet for thousands of years before Jesus came to start teaching his own lessons on how we can enter God's kingdom. Now that you're now saying God will declare some people qualified for what Jesus left heaven to come and teach, then what is the essence of saying people will perish if they don't believe (trust) Jesus' teachings when our conscience can do the job? ![]() |

In Romans 2:12-15 it states, “For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law; and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; for not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

Maximus69:Jesus left Heaven to die for our sins and not to teach. His purpose of coming was to die for Sins. Genesis 15:6. Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness. The same way God credited Abraham for his faith, is the same way God would credit people for living according to their conscience and good works. |

blueAgent:You can never grasp the underlined unless a true Christian teach you! ![]() Paul was talking about what God gave the Israelites (the Mosaic laws) which will be their guidance to lead them to Christ! Galatians 3:24 Israelites were taught to be hospitable to strangers {Leviticus 19:34} this will be of great help to them when preachers of the good news come to them as strangers {Isaiah 52:7 compare to Romans 10:15} but this people weren't kind to strangers to the extent that by the time Jesus visited them with his disciples, they treated him badly! Luke 9:51-55 ![]() Now if the people of the nations who never had all those laws (that was supposed to lead the Israelites to welcome Jesus and his followers hospitably) now welcomed the Christians who are total strangers to them because this ones came in the name of God, is that not a good reason to count them worthy of his grace than faithless and stubborn Israelites? So Paul is saying those people have displayed the attributes God's law meant to impress in the hearts of the Israelites as if it's written IN THEIR HEARTS! But they must first accept Jesus' teachings before they can enter into life everlasting! Philippians 2:10 That's the meaning of what you are quoting Sir! ![]() |

The Bible belongs to Jehovah's Witnesses, if you don't humble yourself before us you'll continue to wallow in ignorance! ![]() Just listen to yourself "Jesus did not come to teach" yet he called himself TEACHER! Matthew 23:8 Pharisees referred to him as TEACHER and he confirmed it! Matthew 22:34-36; John 13:13-14 Have you ever heard of a TEACHER whose assignment is NOT TO TEACH? John 7:16 ![]() |
