Has the entire earth already heard the gospel?

Exactly!

I said the same thing:

My dear friends, regarding the question posed.

Several years ago I was in a revival meeting. The evangelist, Brother S. Fast preached so long and so hard. For the whole to have heard we needed only to open the windows in the sanctuary.

To this day I can't hear out of my left ear.

That is so funny.

I believe in the first century,the gospel did go out to the then known world,but I there believe are people in remote areas who have never heard the truth.

Oh dear Brother Steve Epley, thank you for finding me funny. I have always admired you as a true holiness man.

So much like my man Horace. Horace could preach the hair off of a monkey.

On a revival night Horace could forevermore skin the hogs.

One night he was a preachin so hard his false teeth ( just his uppers) flew right out his mouth. Horace grabbed them in mid air and slapped back in his mouth and I don't think anyone even noticed.

Holiness woman, you should write a book on all your experiences with Horace

I saw that happen at a fellowship meeting once.
The preacher paused and said, "Next time we'll bring the PolyGrip."
