Travis- we fervently pray you and the leopard will be there.  I'll be there. Mensa man will not. Dave PS- God and I will likely be calling the shots once I arrive so I'd keep your Texas origins to yourself if you do in fact make it.

What about all the folks that died before Jesus? Do they automatically gain entrance, or did they all go straight to hell or spend eternity in some sort of limbo? Remember in Monopoly when you automatically pass go and collect $200.00? It's like that. Only different. Clark

If God has the sense of humor that I believe Him to have, I fully expect to see Ken Howell as the guardian of the Pearly Gates, just before I plunge into a pool of fire.
Ken will forgive you, let you in, and give you the finger as you pass. All problably well earned.

… they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.…

It was explained to me that you are judged according to what you know. “To those who much is given, much is expected”.
We all have an internal compass that points out right or wrong whether we have heard the word or not.
The truth angers those whom it does not convince

Among the globe's six billion people, there are something like 700+ religions. Each and every one of them proclaiming it is the one and only true religion. Everyone who doesn't believe in their God or Buddha, or Allah or Great Mog will go to hell or the equivalent. Or Detroit, perhaps.
If you're playing the odds, maybe you'd better believe in all of them, equally.
Or not.

Eyeball, you realize you're living your life according to the rules of a pack of middle eastern, goat fuggin' dune coons, don'tcha?
They wore desses (I've seen the drawings), they all looked like corporal Klinger, and 2000 years later they still screw goats, so God only knows what they did back then.
Yet that's your guiding light?
I ain't saying you're wrong, just be careful how much stock you put into it. Them swarthy bastids is crafty!

What about those that HAVE heard the Word, and realize that true hell is spending eternity with those that spread the Word?

I agree that one should not combine Texans with Oregonians. Travis It no longer surprises me to see racist comments on this forum. It does surprise me when they come from supposedly "Christian" people who should know better. But, I guess that's just the way things are.

Or not. There's only one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God knows a man's heart, and will render judgement accordingly.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I don't have an answer to this question, it's over man's head or understanding anyway, but,,, I do know all those TV preachers asking for all that money so they can tell the world are not the answer either.

Jesus said that those who will be saved are drawn to him by God. In Romans, Paul went on to tell us who those are who are drawn. They're the ones who God foreknows, the ones who will answer. God doesn't call the ones who he knows won't answer. It's not predestination. We have free choice but God knows what that choice will be and those he calls to salvation.
As far as the OP question - how about those who have never heard? God foreknows them. He knows which ones will answer and some how, some way, he calls them all and they answer. [quote=Rock Chuck]Jesus said that those who will be saved are drawn to him by God. In Romans, Paul went on to tell us who those are who are drawn. They're the ones who God foreknows, the ones who will answer. God doesn't call the ones who he knows won't answer. It's not predestination.
