Summary

A transparent and thorough treatment of the question from a biblical perspective. Various issues are dealt with such as why people get judged in the first place, what all people should know, biblical examples of people who were saved without hearing the gospel, a rebuttal of universalism, how we ought not suppose that all religions offer a path to God, and how the reality of people responding to the gospel means that we need to be serious and vigilant in evangelism.

So today we're going to answer the question what about people who live their

0:08.0

whole life on earth from birth till death and they never hear the gospel

0:11.7

message they never even hear it. They never even hear it. They're never exposed to

0:16.4

the gospel message of salvation through Jesus. Now this is a big question and I

0:22.2

hear this given answers. I hear people giving answers to this question online and they tend to give sort of short summary answers.

I mean, the worst I can do is tell you I don't know which I'm open to doing that.

1:06.0

But if I can I'll give I'll give an answer because I have a theory when it comes to tough issues.

1:11.0

1:15.1

through the scriptures where when you pull in these other different ideas throughout

1:18.9

the text of the 66 books you get a really thorough answer for what might seem like a tough

1:24.9

question and I've seen it happen over and over again so my theory is that it's

1:28.5

there a lot more than we realize because sometimes we just don't consult the

1:31.9

text that much.

1:33.7

So instead of a short answer, here's a long answer.
