It's very rare nowadays that people have never been exposed to Christianity in some form.


Lets take the indians in brazil that live in the Amazon. They may worship a stump based on the teachings in their tribe for hundreds of years. Someone goes and preaches to them about christianity...are they supposed to all of a sudden just blindly believe what some stranger is telling them?

Or turn it around and say some stranger came preaching to you about something completely different than christianity...what would you think?

This right here is exactly why organized religion and the violence caused in its name is so fricking stupid.

So God created a couple billion people just for the sake of destruction? Makes no sense. The Bible is subject to interpretation these days.


No, God created adam and eve.. and he wanted to give them the choice to make their own decisions. The same applies to me and you today. He doesnt want to force us to do anything we dont want. He didnt want to make a world of destruction. He does want to give us the opportunity to make our own choices, and that path some take lead to destruction of the world so to speak. You also have the choice to follow him and live for him.. and what awaits you after your time on earth is a reward.

The day of the excuse "what of those who have never heard of Christ" is rapidly fading.

How do we know the end is near? Never before in human history has the world been so accessible.

Ok, India has 1 billion people. Most of those children are told to believe in a different religion then Christianity. That is their culture. So they are eternally damned for being brought up a different way? They are supposed to see a Christian commercial and figure it out?

I have yet to hear a straight answer on this type of question. It has been posed multiple times in this thread without one reasonable answer.

I think the answer is "tough shite."

ETA: I take that back. I think the answer is "God works in mysterious ways."

This.

The same "answer" is just parroted. "We all have a duty to accept Christ" never taking into account that literally billions of people have little to no access/knowledge of Christianity.

Bible covers children.. they are innocent. They have not committed sin because they have no knowledge.

Moreover, your little ones who you said would become a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them and they shall possess it.

Toddlers can be pretty evil.

But what is the age of knowing evil in the eyes of the Bible/Church? Is it 7 (first communion) or 15-16 (confirmation) or some other arbitrary age/maturity?

Its pretty obvious you are attempting to mock us and our God.

Want an honest answer/discussion? Reciprocate then.
