St. SteVen said:
Everyone who has gone to the afterlife since Jesus harrowed hell. (the realm of the dead)
That has not heard the gospel in order to respond. And there are still unreached people groups today.
Since “Jesus”.
“Gospel”
“still Unreached people today”…
Agree.
I don't see any way to support that claim that EVERYONE has had the opportunity to choose Jesus.
You are changing the narrative… to “specific”
“Jesus, Gospel, unreached people”
Before Jesus, and the Gospel…
God was Saving men
WHO…Heard… about God.
WHO…Heard… Gods Word.
WHO…Believed in “Gods WORD” {WHEN Gods WORD’S “NAME” was still “Secret”.)
** AND (the ALL Knowing God)
Saving mens souls AFTER their bodily Death
WHO would believe… “IF” they had had opportunity to hear and would Believe When Alive
That HAS NOT Changed.
Jesus arrived… ON Earth 2,000 + years ago.
The Gospel Declared… Jesus IS the Word of God.
The Gospel Declared…The WORD of God IS absolute Truth.
The Gospel Declared… Jesus IS the Christ.
The Gospel Declared…The Christ IS: the POWER AND SEED of God.
The Gospel Declared…CHRIST JESUS HAS the POWER, AUTHORITY, MEANS, and CONSENT of GOD, to:
* HEAR a mans Confessions.
* Forgive men for having HAD, unbelief.
* JUSTIFY, SANCTIFY, men.
* Baptize men, With the Lamb of God.
* Spiritually, Circumcise a mans Heart.
* Spiritually Dwell IN a mans Heart.
* Continually Communicate WITH such individual.
* Save souls of men… BEFORE the mans Bodily Death.
* Quicken a mans spirit BEFORE a mans Bodily Death.
* Take, Claim, Lift Up, Redeem THAT man BEFORE… THE NEXT, SECOND, LAST GREAT TRIBULATION Judgements “Pre-Planned” TO BE Sent Down From Heaven Upon THIS (mans habitat) Whole World.
* etc. etc.
Gods Salvation… of AFTER a believing mans Bodily Death… continues… yesterday, today, and on the morrow through the Seals Judgements, through the Trumps Judgements… and Ceases Before the Bowl Judgements.
Jesus’ Salvation … of Salvation BEFORE a believing mans Bodily DEATH Continues UNTIL the The Great Tribulation BEGINS.
So, you claim the God will be unfair to humankind?
UnFAIR? No. I have NEVER made such a claim.
Ignoring YOUR TERM “regarding FAIRNESS”…
I have expressly Claimed…
God IS JUST.
That the supposed claim that a decision must be made in this lifetime
Use a tad of “Reasoning”…
Blood IS The Life OF a man.
How, When, CAN / Does a Dead MAN, MAKE ANY “Decisions”?
Ancient Knowledge;
Gen 9:
[5] And surely
your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require
the life of man.
Ecc 9:
[5] For the living know that they shall die: but
the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Modern knowledge.
The dead do not walk, talk, jump up off an autopsy table and say to stop breaking their bones and removing their organs.
overrides the reality that not everyone was given the opportunity?
Reality IS God is All knowing and Just.
the Spiritual TRUTH IS:
* Jesus Saves Before A mans mortal bodily Death, AFTER a man HAS HEARD and Freely elected to Heartfully Confess his Belief.
1 Thes 4:
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Do not be alarmed… WHEN They “IN Christ” are Redeemed, Removed From Harms Way of Great Tribulations sent from Heaven upon the whole Earth…
God is NOT Lax, uninformed, of men coming into Belief, During the Trib… their Body’s mortally Dying, and God Saving “Their souls”…
*
God Saves men AFTER their Death…WHO “would have believed, IF they HAD Heard.
1 Thes 4:
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
AFTER the Trib…
AFTER the 1,000 year reign of Christ Jesus.
God Gathers ALL the Dead Body’s…From the Earth…
WHO…(were NOT In Christ and already risen)
WHO…(Rejected knowledge and Belief)
WHO…(Accepted Belief During the Trib, but AFTER Christ Jesus Redeemed His Church)
AND…
WHAT? Those “mortally DEAD (no blood) Bodies are going to SAY “Oops”,”I Believe”?
No.
Those souls, with GODS LIFE… WILL be “Returned to Their mortally (bloodless) Lifeless Bodies…
AND
SEE the Son of God, sitting on a WHITE Cloud …
AND THEN, Believe … AND THEN bow down and Worship Him.
Think about that…
All souls Belong to God.
It is The Soul returned to “an unConfessed mans body”… that Sees, that causes the “unConfessed mans body” to bow and Worship the Son of man.
The “Spiritual understanding” IS:
The Whole Life…IN a man …blood, Gods breath, Spirit (truth) of man… Must Confess Belief…to BE Saved.
If ONE “Life” in man (blood, Gods Breath, spirit)… does NOT confess Belief… Before it Dies…Salvation is Withheld.
A man whose Life (blood) does NOT Confess BEFORE it Dies…
The Blood of his Life IS NOT returned to him, “so he can confess”!
A Saving DOES Not occur… until the Confession is MADE before a mans mortal (blood) Death…
And the Salvation Effected / Given AFTER an accounting in Gods “Books” of Evidence… the mans mortal blood Life body is Accounted DEAD.
All “SHOULD” bow to Jesus.
All “SHALL” bow to God.
Phil 2:
[10] That at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Isa 45:
[23] I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee
shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Rom.14
[11] For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee
shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Yet all NOT ALL, Bodys, souls, spirits SHALL be saved.
TIMING…Genuine TRUTH…is paramount …
Dead bloodless, lifeless mortal body’s, can Confess Nothing…
And NO salvation IS “Given” until AFTER a Mortal Bodily Life is Accounted Dead.
1 Cor 15:
[36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
Glory to God,
Taken
