LoveGodsWord 1st I am not disagreeing with you ok
I know people "Jewish" that live in NY that never heard of Yeshua/Jesus Christ and that was the year of 2000. So how is the world to know/believe what you posted (BIBLE) is the real truth? Fallen angels, there is no salvation for them. They know the truth. Seen Him in all His glory and power.
Now we man have only known sin first. They say there are about 4,200 different Religions in the world. So God is going to hold the world accountable to what He said to Israel? Everything Christ said was to His own first. Each verse you/we post whats the context? To what or whom is it directed at.
We can just talk about "Christian" and I can put in all the names of which we all know and.. gonna say "I am right your wrong"? Walk into Israel and tell them we know their God better then they do? I could have just expanded greatly in all this but.. I think you get/understand what I am getting at here. Do we say its ONLY if you believe John 3:16, Rom 10:9-10?
What I say next is not proof of anything.. just to me it is. When I was about 15 I asked Him "how can you send all these people to hell?" And He came right back with "For God so loved the world. Everyone gets a choice". How that happens I do not know. But I do know.. everyone gets a choice. I believe few will be lost vs most. Well who says most won't be saved? MAN.
Why do you think He said these signs shall follow them that believe? Because no other religions/gods can do that. So doubt started over time and look where we are today. For me without that...how is your God any different then the rest? Trust me these real questions.
There is a reason why Christ is the only savoir. Christ said.. if you were blind you would have no sin. You say you see your sin remains. Most are blind. I pray I did not offend. If I did forgive me
Hi Blade nice to see you. Great question. As to your Jewish friends were they serious Jews or were they serious Jews mocking Jesus? I find it hard to believe if they were serious Jews that they had never heard of JESUS or Christianity but I could believe it if they were only Jews in name only and did not know their own religion and history.
According to the scriptures God only holds us accountable to what we know not what we do not know *Acts of the Apostles 17:30-31; James 4:17. Therefore if your friends never heard of Jesus or the Gospel they would not be held accountable to God for rejecting it. I believe that the scriptures teach that God has His people in every Church (including Israel) that are living up to all the knowledge that God has revealed to them *John 10:16.
In the days of JESUS and the Apostles their bible was the Old testament teaching of the Torah and the prophets (Hebrew bible). Jesus is revealed in these scriptures. In fact nearly everything we have in the new testamment scriptures come from the old testament. Together (the old and new testament scriptures) are the two great witnesses that make up the Word of God that point to Jesus and his work on our behalf and God's plan of salvation for mankind in the new covenant.
The hour is coming and now is that the "true worshippers" will worship God in Spirit and in truth. God is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship him in Spirit and in truth *John 4:23-24. Everyone will have the chance to hear the Word of God. It is not until someone rejects the truth of God's Word that it becomes sin to that person and they are held accountable to God for their rejection of his Word (see Hebrew 10:26-27) abd they are judged for it on judgment day *John 12:47-48.
God bless.
