Those who never heard about Jesus?
 

Millions, probably BILLIONS, of people, have never even heard about the gospel, much less the details of it.

What happens to them on Judgment Day, and why?

I am interested in hearing what the AFF community believes about this. Please explain why you believe what you believe on this subject.

Luke 12:47 KJV And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

Luke 12:48 KJV But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Never actually saw the poll till now. Looked to the post itself.

:lol

Tempted to think SOMEHOW there is a way for those who never heard. But the word gives no room,.,,,, except for...

"Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

I wonder if that may cover some...

But since I cannot say for sure, I could not vote that way. Subject to correction.

2 Corinthians 4:3 KJV But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

What about YOUR vote, Esaias?

lol I'm testing the winds to see which they blow, so I can tack right into them against the current. :heeheehee

Seriously, though, I am 99 percent certain they would be lost (salvation is not DESERVED by anyone, so then ALL are actually guilty ie lost to begin with...) although I would like to see a good case for 'righteous gentiles' if one can be made ie non-Covenanted people who fear God and practice righteousness having a place in the World to Come.

Since Jesus asked forgiveness of the Father on the cross, I've wondered if that may be how the cross is applied to such people. That would bring in the all-necessary cross of HIS death.

they will be just as warm as you are, but somehow suffering from...something they didn't learn, they have been judged, and their thirst for knowledge can no longer be satisfied

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
