Article: what is wrong the substitutionary theory of atonement.

[Adventtruth]

interesting.... if the sinner never knew Christ then what?

I'm not sure this is not bait, seeing you and I have been down this road before.

I do know that God does not justify the ungodly apart from saving faith.

no bait.... just not sure what you believe God will do and what God will actually do is the same thing.... I tend to believe that he will be more forgiving and compassionate than those who follow him are....

Again, we are troubled by the subtext which sees the human race as a collection of individuals who decide whether they want to belong or not. It is not so.

He could be. We just don't know 100% for sure.

All I can say is that God according to the bible judges those who expressed faith with mercy in Christ, and those who are outside of Christ according to the law. I can't say who goes to heaven.

I agree with the following; we don't know for sure and you cannot say who goes to heaven... so while you come down on the side of exclusion, I prefer to come down on the side of inclusion, that being, God will not destroy those who never knew who Jesus was.....of course time will tell....

Are you really saying that the Creator could be less compassionate and forgiving than those He created are? Is that the position you are willing to take in order to hold on to your views on salvation?
