Your question are well thought out, but a bit rhetorical. I will answer them, but before I do please answer just two basic question without double talk and religious jargon. Do you believe one must believe in the only begotten Son of God in this life to inherit eternal life?. Question two. Do you believe in eternal punishment for the wicked and those who have rejected the the Lord Jesus? Please, a simple yes or no to these questions.[/quote]Rocky wrote:
1. I believe as the Scripture said that one must BELIEVE and OBEY the Son of the Living GOD in order to be found worthy to obtain the FIRST RESURRECTION and inherit God's Kingdom.
2. I believe as the Scripture said in an "aionios"(Greek) or "olam"(Hebrew) punishment for everyone that is not found worthy to inherit the Kingdom God. They will experience God's Wrath of varying degrees. They will be resurrected to a resurrection of judgement. (John 5:29)
3. I believe that ALL men, no matter their faith, no matter their religion, no matter their works, will confess JESUS as Lord and Savior to the Glory of GOD ALMIGHTY. That means even them that believe NOT in this Age because as the Scripture say ALL men shall see the Salvation of GOD.
I beg to differ with you. What i wrote is not double talk or religious jargon.
The question i asked is and assured fact that will happen. There are those in this AGE and before who have died never having been told of the Truth of GOD and the salvation and righteousness of GOD that was revealed in One Man, Jesus. Some of those folks that died were GOD FEARING, but some were not GOD FEARING.
