…19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.…

Yes, but there are those who vainly seek to disprove Him by say all who lived before Jesus were unjustly sent to hell and therefore He is unjust.

Here is an excerpt from the book And These Signs Will Follow.
Paul Boxer was a missionary whom I heard speak many years ago. One African tribe en mass accepted Jesus Christ at the conclusion of his first sermon. He told them about the God of creation sending His Son in the form of a Man. Afterward, he asked the chief why it was the entire village as a whole believed and received Jesus. The chief recounted to Paul, "Two years ago, I was looking at the heavens and worshiping the moon god. I remember thinking, 'We have the sun god, moon god, hunt god, tree god, wind god and various other gods. In our village we have many tribesmen. There are some who are good at one thing and then others who are good at something else. Above them is my son. Above him is the Witch Doctor and above him is the Chief. I am Chief. Why should I worship any other god than the Chief God Who Is in charge of all other gods?’ I informed the tribe we would no longer worship many gods. We would worship only the Chief God. When you came and informed us about the Chief God, my people were ready to hear and receive His message.” Talk about UNEXPECTED!

The most dangerous thing I know is to either delay or avoid seeking truth. God knows who wants to worship Him "in spirit and in truth" and will provide. The Judge of all the earth will do right...

I am, admittedly, lost on this in every sense. I guess, at some point, the dust will settle and for some that will matter.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Didn't any of you dumb fuggs go to Sunday School?
Once all souls have heard the word, and have had the opportunity to choose, then Revelations kicks in.
Until then, the word is still spreading. Try being a little fugging patient.

Travis That would be impossible unless births stop at some point as we add about 365k new souls per day and they have to reach a certain age to hear and make a choice. It's a good schtick for a cult to follow and promote their evangelism, though.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

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.
