Re: Has the entire earth already heard the gospel?

The question has never been "every nation" but rather, every person. No, every person has NOT heard the gospel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the Bible says every person has to hear the gospel before He returns does it?

I don't see that in scripture though.

I think you are correct, Esther. The scripture refers to the gospel having to reach "all nations" before the end comes, it doesn't say "every person".
14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
(Matt 24:14)

Sis Stella you need to learn to study the Word for yourself. What scripture did he give you for that?

Re: Has the entire earth already heard the gospel?

So, is anyone denying that the nations have heard the gospel? If so then how will TBN convince people to give so they can REACH EVERY NATION so the Lord can return? Then they use the scripture shamelessly that "First, this gospel must be preached to every nation" they fail to tell the people it happened 2,000 years ago, at least thats my new understanding

Because even though every nation has been reached not every PERSON has been reached.

and they never shall...... if that is the requirement then our Lord can never return as there will always be a person who has not heard the gospel......

The NATIONS have heard the gospel.. the seed has been planted in every nation and our Lord never said this gospel must be preached to every PERSON.. he simply said Every Nation and that happened 2,000 years ago

Paul tells us that EVERY CREATURE under heaven has heard the gospel
