Can you see the contradiction in your response?That is a total misunderstanding of the gospel. Everyone can know there is God if they want to. Atheists do not say the truth. If any want to see, they will see there is God behind everything. And in seeking anything about God, they will recognize their separation from God. They need repentance from how they lived. None of that takes hearing of Jesus. Believers who have heard of Jesus and have come to him are supposed to reach those others, they will be used. It is about us reaching them, and they wil respond coming to Jesus. It is not at all about people not hearing about Jesus and perishing for that. Those perishing do so because of their sins in their life, without ever repenting.
My post was to challenge the claim most Christians make about the gospel.
That everyone knows the gospel and is therefore without excuse. Not true. The fact that countless billions have NOT been led to Christ by other Christians is completely overlooked.
In a sense you are agreeing with me. God reaches all humankind through our God-given conscience. See Romans 2:14-15 and Romans 5:13
And if you bring the elect into the equation, you now have the rest of humankind predestined to damnation. (those who were not the elect by definition) Is that the plan of God for humankind?

Countless billions have gone into the afterlife having never even heard the name of Jesus. Will they be tormented for all of eternity with no hope of escape?
