Msmorality, Respectfully, your comments do not line up with the Scriptures. I had recently posted an article concerning "Second chance." If you have a moment, examine it.
Man's Conscience, and God's creation.
The following does not speak of the Mosaic law, but the law of right and wrong, the laws of morality.
For those who have never had any direct Divine revelation, are given some light concerning the Creator. A measure of light burns in each man's conscience. Their conscience posses a sense of right and wrong.
Rom.2:14-15, "When the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS, their conscience also bearing witness."
A community having no direct revelation from God is now a community that is a law unto themselves. Not accountable to any other law outside their community. They are not to be judged by any dispensation other than that which they live. Their conduct within the community in which they live, will be that which they are judged by.
A community having a natural justice in their debates, in their written laws, their courts, their duties, and in their morals. This is the light that God has given to them. Discerning correctly between right and wrong. Accountable only to the Lord for their moral conduct concerning these matters.
Concerning the creation.
Rom.1:19, "That which may be known of God is manifest = (evident) in them; for God hath shewed it unto them."
Those who live in the jungles of Africa, waste-lands of the Artic, can see with his eye the creation: its order, beauty, function, each part working within the whole.
A creation perfect in beauty, in design, in operation. No one will be able to cop a plea of, Not guilty! when presented with the evidence of Supreme God, the evidence of his existence, is the world we live in.
Rom.1:20, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and godhead; so that they are without excuse."
Scientist, nature worshippers, all giving the glory of God to another.
Nature itself, is the demonstrator of the Creators power, and majesty.
The invisible, things unseen, made know to us by God's visible works, and therefore should be understood by our senses. Can only be perceived as coming from a Divine Creator.
Rom.2:15, "The work of the law written in their heart = (man's heart,)" their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean = (or between the two,) while accusing or else excusing one another."
A native in Africa, can look at something as simple as a bow, and its arrows, and tell you these did not grow in the forest, they had a maker.
By a persons conscience, and the creation is how God will deal out His judgements to those who never were exposed to the Gospel.
If one had an outright knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ, as so many Americans have, then reject, and trample under foot the Son of God, that would be a grave error.
To overturn one's conscience, in that they call the good things of God evil, and evil, good, will also be fatal. And lastly to worship the creature, and not the Creator, will bring the wrath of God upon a man's head.
Rahab is a good example. She had no formal knowledge of the God of Israel. Rahab said to the two men who went to spy out the land,
Joshua 2:9, "I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faith because of you For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you, and when y came out of Egypt."
What is important concerning this verse is, what Rahab just said had happened 40 years before they came to her home. Yet she knew, and feared.
And James 2:25, said of Rahab, "Was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
God is a just God, and His judgements are just. No man will be judged unjustly.
Also the verses you quoted in your article, are totally out of context concerning this subject.
