[quote=Anonymous]“The fate of the unlearned, also known as the destiny of the unevangelized, is an eschatological question about the ultimate destiny of people who have not been exposed to a particular theology or doctrine and thus have no opportunity to embrace it. The question is whether those who never hear of requirements issued through divine revelations will be punished for failure to abide by those requirements.“

That question is not easily answered. Great and learned theological scholars labor to do so.

I have a problem myself answering this question, because a lot of it hinges on the fact that as a Christian, I am limited in sharing the Good News with people around me. I can’t do so easily without being accused of trying to “convert” people. My love for my fellow man and my belief that we all are welcome to embrace the redemption of Jesus blood and live in everlasting peace in paradise with Him is viewed as intolerance, even though that’s exactly what Jesus taught and commanded us to share. I want to share the Good News. I want my fellow man in Paradise with me, with our Lord and Savior, for eternity. But having a simple conversation with a stranger or friend or neighbor about that would be viewed extremely unfavorably a high percentage of the time IRL.

In short, if you are a Christian and want to tell people about salvation, you are seen as a whack job. If you respect the fact that other people aren’t Christian and don’t want to hear the Good News, you are a cruel bigot who wants people to go to Hell.

* please consider opening your heart to Jesus. He Loves you and will never leave you. You don’t have to be perfect, and all you have to do to claim His amazing gift is this:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.“

Amen. [/quote]
