Why Tim Tebow is great

[AUTaxMan]

even those whom have never heard of him, those without the capacity to decide

While this is a logical conclusion to draw from scripture, I don't believe the Bible specifically addresses this issue. I do know that God is just. Therefore, it would also be logical to conclude that He has exceptions for these scenarios.

Also, mrv, Muslims and Christians worship the same God.

And Mr. Taxman you realize that most christians wholeheartedly disagree with what you just said and would consider that statement an act of blasphemy don't you?

[mrveggieman]

Just out of curiosity, why do you believe that?

I'm glad that you asked me that and I am very happy to answer your question. I believe that humans since they are imperfect are subject to the bounds of 1 religion however God being all powerful, all perfect and all knowing is not subject to the bounds and restraints of 1 particular religion.

I think somewhere in Matthew it speaks that the Lord will not return until all have heard the Word...So sounds like everyone has a chance (except the very young that couldn't make a real decision IMO.)

So you are saying it is JUST for him to deny my entry based solely on my reluctance to believe in Him and make no considerations for how I lived my life and treated my fellow man.

That's not JUST. If you feel it is, then I can begin to understand where your opinions are coming from; and I do not want to go there. It sounds like an awful place to be.

They would be wrong if they knew anything about history. Allah and God are the same being, just viewed from different perspectives. Christians view God as a loving, just, and forgiving one with whom you have a personal relationship. Muslims view Allah as a vindictive one who brings wrath to those who don't follow the rules.

Is there a scriptural reference you have to support that belief?

Yes, because the Bible tells us that our salvation is based on our faith, not on our works. That was one of Jesus's primary teachings. My opinions are coming from the Bible.

Can you explain what this actually means? How does this affect the 45 year old African tribesman that dies with no knowledge of Christ?

From what I read, there won't be any 45 yr old tribesman that has never heard the Word......
