quote=Armistead14;I see a few of the same answers for people born in other cultures and brainwashed from birth to accept the religion there and those that never heard, that you know God by his creation, but that is not the gospel.
Yes it is. The Glory of God is His gospel.
Almost every culture believes in God, but not Christ, so how does accepting believing in his creation is a saving gospel?
You have iterated you're confusion. To begin with, "believing in His creation" is not it. Believing what His creation SPEAKS, is.
Many say God will be just or has other ways for those that never heard, etc..., well, then Christ isn't the only way.
Only in your mind. Open your mind. Not so much that your brains fall out, but enough to make sense of a couple of scriptures:
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not thelaw, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not thelaw, are alaw unto themselves:
15 Which
shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
"... in regeneration the law is reinscribed on the hearts of God's people; and even among the Gentiles, and in their hearts, there are some remains of the old law and light of nature, which as by their outward conduct appears, so by the inward motions of their minds,
their conscience also bearing witness; for, as the Jews say {r} wb hdyem Mda lv wtmvn, "the soul of a man witnesses in him"; for, or against him:
and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another;
and this the Heathens themselves acknowledge, when they {s} speak of "tameion dikasthrion kai krithrion thv suneidhsewv, "the conclave, tribunal and judgment of conscience"; and which they call dikasthn dikaiotaton, "the most righteous judge": whose judgment reason receives, and gives its suffrage to, whether worthy of approbation or reproof; when it reads in the memory as if written on a table the things that are done, and then beholding the law as an exemplar, pronounces itself either worthy of honour or dishonour." - John Gill
They either go to hell by default for never hearing or if they're saved then Christ saved them without them knowing it. In fact when Christ said he was the only way, it took 400 years for the gospel to reach Europe, another 1000 to the America's, that's a lot of people dying never hearing the gospel after Christ said he was the only way.
Let me disabuse you of that notion of God's impotence:
Psalm 19:
[
1]
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
[
2]
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
[
3]
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
[
4] Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
[
5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
[
6] His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
[
7] The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
[
8] The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
[
9] The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
[
10] More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
[
11] Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Praise God.
