Where there is no Christians
Posted : 2 Apr, 2011 06:46 PM

Okay, I think this question or something like this has been posted in the past, but I've been wondering how will people know about God if there were no Christians around to tell them about God's Judgement, Wrath, Mercy, and Grace?



I know that everyone has a moral code written on their heart, but how can they know God's love?

Sparrows, haha,

Now seriously though, think about it. Does God still speak aloud to them, through nature? Or do they simply go through life never knowing God?

Because they are fallen creatures, they will refuse to look for God, and they will life their life according to what they wish to live it by.



IF they were not fallen, with a will enslaved to sin, they would cross oceans seeking to find out how to be right with God.



Because they are fallen, and never hear about Jesus, they will die in their sins.

Cat,

Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Elijah lived in such a world as you describe. God does not need us (Christians), however He uses us because by doing so it builds relationship between us and Him. If you ask me God may have rested on the seventh day, but went back to work on the eighth, God is still in the process of creating a people for Himself and now has included us in the process, not cause He needs our help, but because it is best for us. One of the fastest way to get to know someone is to work for and with them.

That was good comment 2sparrow right on the mark. And to add Jesus said the earth and everything there in will pass away Before His word passes away and not come to pass. God has already deceed that He will create a people who will worship and paise Him in holiness, who has not yet been born. God doesn't need us, we need Him being that He created us, and provided us with plan of salvation, and not we created Him or provided Him with a plan of salvation, lest any one should even dare to BOAST!

BTW, didn't Jesus also say that the gospel will be preach to ALL nations, so no one will be without excuse? And does not Paul tells us that those without the word of God will be judge according to their own law, and those with the word will be judge according to God's own righteousness of His word?

And does not the bible teach us that there is nothing created by God on earth that does not have His Spirit within him to know Him as being God? Therefore, there is no excuse for not knowing Him.

Even if a person does not know Jesus Christ as Savior,when he/she die if the person is faithful to what they do know about God, will not God be just in judging them according to what they do know about Him? Not the hearers of the Word (law) are just before God, but the DOERS of the Word (law) are just before God (Romans chapters 1-10)
