Who on here, here on C.D., have never heard of Jesus Christ, and what's your excuse? TALK TO ME.!!

So many threads asking: "Well what if someone have never heard the name of Jesus Christ before... What happens to them"?

But I ASK YOU..".You've HEARD, What's your excuse"?

There's an appoined time for us all believe , so excuses do not come into it.

Acts 13 48

And when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified (praised and gave thanks for) the Word of God; and as many as were destined (appointed and ordained) to eternal life believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Jesus as the Christ and their Savior).

It sounds like you don't like that question, Betsey. Do you seriously think that everyone who has ever lived knew of Jesus during his or her lifetime? I think most people today have probably heard of Jesus Christ. Some of them live in places where it would be next to impossible to study His gospel or to really learn the truth about what He taught. Even today, though, there are probably people living in truly remote areas of the world who really haven't heard of Him. Even if everyone today had heard of Him, what about people living somewhere like a small village in Mongolia or the jungles of Africa in the middle of the 3rd century. It is almost beyond the realm of possibility that they would have heard of Jesus. Christianity just hadn't spread that far by then.

It sounds like you don't like that question, Betsey. Well....Betsey asked the question, is this your final answer?

Let me ask again: "Who here on C.D. have never heard of Jesus?" And what's YOUR excuse?" Operative words are highlighted.

I can't love a being who torments my mother in hell.

Good enough?

Would you be good with a God that tormented her for a while then one day said, "OK that's enough, come on in"?

Compared to suffering without end? Yes.

There is a way for you not to end up there. Care to share? One day, two days, endless days, there is a WAY for you to NOT spend any time there, while you're still here.

Since my non-Christian mother is now dead, I could never be happy in heaven knowing she's screaming in hell.
