Summary

I know you have questions about this. I hope this helps answer them.But if my short answer isn't enough (and it's probably not) THIS is the link to my FULL teaching on the issue, where I go through many specific verses of the Bible which give us help working out the answer to this very concerning issue. I hope you will give some thought to it. https://youtu.be/IiyxpE5UBz4 This is just one question from a long interview I did for the moderators of the r/Bible subreddit. They asked their subreddit to send me a bunch of questions and I spent a lot of time preparing so that I would be able to offer the best answers I could. I'll be posting these answers as individual videos, so keep an eye out for the rest in the set. Here's a playlist where I will add them as they come out. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHtc_kN13cgTRV1l3bl3wZiD My website: https://BibleThinker.org

0:00.0	What happens to the people who have never heard of the gospel?
0:03.8	Yes. I actually struggled with this one myself for a while. I did a teaching on it
0:08.1	a few years back. And so I'll put a link to the video down below for the full teaching on this.
0:12.9	Actually, surveyed through scriptures to try to support each point where I talk about it.
0:16.8	So I'll just summarize a few things. Here's principles to have in mind.
0:21.4	Nobody's condemned because they're ignorant of the gospel. Like they've never heard the name of Jesus
0:25.2	now they're condemned. That never happens. That's not a biblical idea. They're only judged for what
0:29.7	they do know. God judges us based on what we do know. Jesus even talks about this that being
0:34.1	judged according to our knowledge. The judgment for his generation was greater because they had seen
0:38.3	him and experienced his miracles. So it was a bigger deal. But they do know stuff. Everybody
0:42.7	does know stuff. So they know that God exists. They know that sin is real and they've sinned against
0:46.5	God. Okay, this is stuff everyone knows. I say no loosely here because it's stuff everybody is
0:52.0	accountable for knowing that that's the real term I should use here. Like creation makes it obvious
0:57.2	but I can choose to reject that knowledge of God. And so that I may not retain it.
1:01.4	I may not currently be like, I don't think like atheists like they really know God exists.
1:06.1	Like they're just lying when they say they're atheists. Like I'm not saying that.
1:10.3	But there's accountability. They should know God exists. And then how they respond to this knowledge
1:14.8	is something that they are going to be judged for when they stand before God. So I also know God
1:19.9	wants people to be saved and people can respond to general revelation. And I also know that
1:24.0	and Biblically God responds to people who are seeking him. So if someone reaches out to God like,
1:28.6	oh, like I know there's a God. I know I've got sin issues like help. And they don't know anything
1:31.9	about Jesus. I think there's a chance God reveals more to them and they get and they actually end
