Unfortunately, some people get all their news filtered through sources hostile to Israel ... even so, the fact they accept the most outlandish claims against Israel, indicates an underlying antisemitism.

If Israel want to commit genocide, they are not very good at it.

We cannot fulfill the "law of Christ" by living an isolated life ... although age & health status limit us.

I thank God for the men & women (whether Christian or non Christian) in the police & military who are willing to do whatever it takes to allow us to be safe in our homes. They are the ministers of God (Romans 13:4).

I agree ... although the puzzled reaction of Jesus' disciples to His death indicates they were not looking forward to the atonement for sin through Jesus' death & resurrection.

No person is saved by keeping the Law of Moses since Jesus died and rose again.today. Paul is talking about gentiles who are judged by "conscience" ... they are not Christian believers.

I believe in using the minimum force to manage a situation. In the case of the maniac killing people in a shopping mall here, the man was shot dead after killing 6 people and sending 10 more to hospital.

I can agree with both comments ... some say the "sheepfold" means the kingdom of God ... but we know Abraham, Isaac & Jacob are in the kingdom of God but they never knew about Jesus.

BG, was also "guessing" and he based his opinion on Romans 2:14-16 For 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...

I agree that those who have heard the Gospel, and consciously rejected Jesus Christ, are lost. The question remains about the billions who have lived and died and not heard the Gospel, in the 2000 years since Jesus preached to the souls in prison?

What is the "sheepfold"?

I don't like denominational ecumenism any more than you do friend. But the question I am interested in is whether you think all the people who lived and died in my country (Australia) before the Gospel arrived in 1788, are in hell. BTW Billy Graham admitted he made mistakes, he especially...

Strangely enough I agree with you on some points ... the organized church is not God's will ... people are not saved by going to church ... they can only be saved (born again) by faith in the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But that's not what we are discussing. We were...

It is true that we cannot come into a fully personal relationship with God except through Jesus Christ. "Coming to the Father" is not about going to heaven ..it is about our relationship with God here and now. The issue is what happens at the final judgement ... which we read about in Matthew...

Yes, I agree fully that God did make Himself known to them ... the Gospel did not reach my country to the late 18th century, but the people still knew there was a Creator ... and they still knew the law that God should be honored and people should be treated respectfully (the two greatest...

BG's answer was that God is still calling people to Himself ... which is obviously true. "And that's what God is doing today, He's calling people out of the world for His name"

It is how Paul said they would be judged. Salvation is being born again and becoming one with Jesus Christ. Not everyone has that opportunity. Do you believe they all go to hell?

Paul says that no one can be saved by keeping the practices and rituals of the Law of Moses ... and yet OT believers are in heaven. Gentiles who had never heard of Moses' Law could still obey the two greatest commandments in the Law Mat 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the...

I agree. The Gospel did not reach my country until 1788 and yet there was a recognition of the divine Creator.

I agree that we are saved by faith in Jesus' death & resurrection. Being saved brings us into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. At the final judgement, those who have not heard the Gospel are judged by their God-given conscience. "their conscience also bearing witness, and their...
