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

I actually accept that premise. I just find it interesting that it is totally incompatible with the philosophies behind the like of Mr "Light" (a legendary Obama supporter). To them, anyone not reached personally is damned eternally -for no fault of their own. To them, IF Ted Kennedy (and Obama) spouted Acts 2:38 (and no other versus) they would be Christ incarnate.
