The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

This is the most recent analysis. And it’s fine that I know you don’t accept it findings but to say the Shroud is strong conclusive evidence is not the case. Even the Catholic Church takes no position on it.

I hope you have a great day, and good luck this fall.

The Catholic Church address this exact question. You will be judged based upon your knowledge and what information has been offered to you.

Yes but that is not the only Christian view. If you say, “God will judge them by what they knew,” then you’re actually conceding that faith in Christ might not be the only path to salvation which contradicts the claims many Christians make.

I hope you have a great day, and good luck this fall.

Thank you. If you kill a big buck , please leave me a bigger one.

No contradiction, you can't have faith in something you didn't know existed, but you will be judged by what you were told.

Beagle1, what is your motive here?

Is it to change people's mind on Christianity?

Is it just to argue?

You aren't going to change anyone's mind and it seems like nobody is going to change yours... Hunting season is coming up pretty quick, you should get off your computer and go scout. Life is short.

Yes, we will see someday. And as I’ve mentioned before, I’ve already addressed the “free will” argument. But since it keeps coming up, let me ask you this:

Do you honestly believe a person born into a remote Amazonian tribe with no access to a Bible, church, missionary, or even the name of Jesus—has the same free will to find Christian salvation as someone born in Georgia or Texas with churches all over.

How is that “equal opportunity” free will salvation?

All people are accountable to God whether or not they have “heard about Him.” The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). If it were not for God’s grace, we would be given over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. He does this for those who continually reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).
