Revelation 5:9; And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation...
This suggests that people of every kindred, tongue, peoples, and nations are found worthy of the Book of Life. I think Christians often mistake the "good" news of the gospel for the "bad". It is not for us to judge who should go to heaven or hell either way, but to bring the good news to others.
Romans 4:15; Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Luke 19:37-40; And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
These passages suggest that A. Where there is no law, there is no transgression, but B. Even if the good news is not brought to them, they will be told otherwise, and C. those of every peoples will be in heaven.
I believe God is just regardless of whether or not we fully understand His nature. |
