You do realize if it's impossible to sin then if someone doesn't hear the gospel God cannot judge them to hell and still be just?

There's stuff I know I shouldn't do...gospel or no gospel. So it would seem it's possible to sin even without hearing the gospel.

But I can't help but think that Timmy is using this to make a point and I would HATE to be part of the point he's trying to make!!!

In theory? Yes.

In practicality? No.

So can I give two answers?

Timmy ALWAYS has an agenda, and it's not what a sincere Christian might expect when he/she accepts his request. LOL

I don't think that's fair. I like Timmy. I don't think he has an agenda. I think he's good-hearted, I think he cares, and I respect his viewpoints. And I agree with nearly everything he says and what I don't agree with, I understand where he's coming from.

I would say that Timmy is one of the few people here that I completely trust.

Totally took what I said the wrong way.

No, not really. I was just using the occasion to express my undying support of Timmy!

Seriously, I'm a Timmy fan. If I were in trouble and needed serious help, he'd probably be the first one on the forum I'd call.

I just used you as a launching pad for my sermon!

But you'll have to admit, when it is said that a person "has an agenda" it's rarely a compliment!

Froggy has pretty much already made my point.

So Timmy, are you saying that God could not judge a person who has never heard the gospel?

Sort of. I might stop at "if it's impossible not to sin, it would not be fair to punish anyone for their sins". Then leave it up to the reader to decide if they think God is "fair" (in that scenario) or not.
