Good tidings of great joy, which shall be to SOME people?

[St. SteVen]

If you wont have it, then you decided that, and that choice continues this issue.,.........

= "YOU are of your FATHER.. .the DEVIL, and the LUSTS of YOUR FATHER you shall do".

So, that is the Spiritual State of an Unbeliever..

These.......John 3:36.


And if they choose to reject Christ and not be BORN AGAIN, so that God becomes their Spiritual Father, then they will join THEIR Spiritual Father, after they die.

And HELL was created for Him, and so, they will join that situation, because they belong to Him.

Choose, or reject? Not everyone has had the opportunity.

Do you know what an unreached people group is?

Countless billions have gone to the afterlife with
no knowledge whatsoever of the gospel.

It is estimated that of the 8.00 billion people alive in the world today, 3.40 billion of them live in unreached people groups with little or no access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. According to Joshua Project, there are approximately 17,446 unique people groups in the world with 7,391 of them considered unreached (over 42% of the world’s population)! The vast majority (85%) of these least reached groups exist in the 10/40 window and less than 3% of missionary work is done among these people. Watch this brief video to learn more! SOURCE

@St. SteVen .. you have "little faith", at best, according to your posts, and Threads.


LOOK>..


= Jonah and the Whale.

This story is teaching us that if you are living in a Tree House on the back side of Jupiter then God will use a Spaceship to get the Gospel of the Resurrected Christ into your hearing.

How do you know?

A.) "With GOD......all things are possible", and certainly something a simple as getting the Message of the Cross to Jupiter is not difficult for the One who hung Jupiter in the Sky to prove He's real.

What is the current population of China? (1.4 billion)
How many will die today having never heard the gospel?
Apply some common sense.

Zero.

They all have access to the internet., right now.

The Gospel is all over the internet.

They've all heard the Gospel.

In fact China is among the "fastest growing" countries regarding NEW Christians.

Its always like this..........as it was in the Early Church.

See, whenever a Gov tries to extinguish Christianity..., it always EXPLODES and Gets much bigger much faster.

Why? Because Martyr's enflame the Gospel into new converts.

This is why all the Apostle dies being murdered, except for John.

Apply some common sense.

Common sense is the enemy of faith.
and that is why yours is so small, as you prove with your posts and Threads.

Listen,
Faith is : believing ........ = that is not based on reason or figuring it out by your own mind.

God resists man's knowledge, as God ways are higher then we can understand, when it comes to just about everything, including trying to figure out, a virgin born Jew's blood and death sacrifice that SAVES us.

You can't figure that out.
You can't figure out why "preaching the Cross of Christ" is how God offers a GIFT of Eternal Life.

So, your natural mind, is your issue. @St. SteVen
That is why you have so little faith, and just want to always try to contradict Christianity, with your Threads and posts.
It why you have such strong resistance to the Bible....in so many of your Threads and posts.

 

[St. SteVen]

Zero.

So, you believe Global Frontier Missions is lying to us about the 7,391 unreached people groups?

GFM works among unreached people groups including the least reached and the unengaged.

It's actually a REAL test of faith when all the religious props begin to fall away.

Will I still trust God:
- when I can't trust the church?
- when I can't trust the Bible?
- when I can't trust church doctrines?
- when I can't trust other Christians?

If my faith was built on these things...
I would have lost my faith long ago.

Not "lying".. but just offering a head count that they can't truly know.. unless they have boots on the ground, regarding all those groups.

"Hello, we are here to take a head count of 7,391 groups we say.... are not yet given the Gospel".. so, while we are here counting all your heads... we might as well share the Gospel with you"

See that?
That is what i believe.

New topic:

Were messianic prophecies acquired, rather than intended? (in the original texts)

I recently remembered a prophecy referred to by Jesus. But I also remembered that orthodox Jews typically reject these "prophecies" saying that is not what they meant. Were some of these prophecies, or other OT quotations acquired rather than intended? Here are a couple. (we'll need to...

[MatthewG]

Faith brings joy,

“Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Some people choose not to believe, or seek after God which pleases him.

“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. Abel’s offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by his example of faith. It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬
