What about the children that die at an age where they can not even talk or read? Because they haven't read and followed the bible they will go to hell?
The logic that if you follow God, you shall not go to Hell is flawed.
People in Asia or any country who never heard of the gospel r spared. The bible said "Those who do not know the law do not sin", how else can u commit an act against your conscience when the law in your heart isnt even there? The church forms your conscience, some people's conscience is formed in the street and might feel like its ok to kill and steal, but the word of God is where the right conscience is formed, but those who have not heard of it r spared. The church have a teaching concerning that, ppl misunderstood the name of Jesus, He is the Word incarnate, u follow his words such as humility and love, u r in a good side, but if u claim to know jesus but have no love and no humility, then yur doomed.
that is like the parable Jesus said "The master asked a servant a favor to go with him but the servant saaid "no" I will not go, but later on went. The other servant said "Yes I will go", but didnt go later on, who will the master favor more?", then apostles said "the guy who went" Jesus said "Truly I say to u, thieves, prostitutes, and sinners are entering the kingdom of God before them (hipocrites, pharisees).
In fact the man with the greatest faiith Jesus encountered wasnt even a believer of God but was a pagan. Jesus was walking and he met a roman soldier (at the time paganss and r enemies of the jews) the roman soldier have a sick daughter, he said "Lord I am not worthy to have u under my roof, etc.but say the word and my daughter shall b healed" Jesus then said "Truly I say to u, I have not seen a man with greater faith than he in Jerusalem (chosen ppl, like christians today)
again, the child in capable of reading are spared, like the ppl in asia, and others. Jesus said "Unless u bcome like this little child u will never enter the kingdom of God" in other words "Unless u r innocent, humble and obedient""
but theres a sad catch. Jesus said he will not return until all the corners of the earth have heard of His words, when the judment day comes, not one person have not heard of him, but every nation already has. Either u rejected Him, or u followed Him.
But u know how Jesus will judge us? It comes down to the ones aforementioned..
"hungry diud u feed me? mourning did u comfort me? lonely did u visit me?"
"Christian guy said ' but Lord i expell demons in your name and do alot of fun worship singing in the church, and since when did i ever see u hungry or depressed or lonely?"
"Jesus said whatever u do to the least of my brothers u do unto me"
at the end thats what counts, and nothing else. everyday ppl die of starvation, everyday ppl commit suicide bcuz of deprresion, everyday teens run away. Whhat did u do about it?
Praying is good and going to church, thats what Jesus wants, but that should bring u to the love of huimanity. Otherwise yur prayer must not b sincere and mayb your intention is different, mayb u just did it bcuz u have nothing else to do or just bored or just want to make sure u dont go to hell.. Thiss r all wwrong intention, u should go to church and pray bcuz u want God to come into u and help u guide and help u love your brothers and sisters, thats the right intention
