and refuse to believe any doctrine which they know to be false. In this scenario, do you believe the majority of people throughout all human history would have been saved?
God is a fair God, and people were saved before the Old Testament was given.
We must believe on Jesus as Lord and Savior to be saved, but if we do not know about Him we can still be saved.
The people who heard the Gospel sufficiently will not be saved if they reject that truth.
But if a person never heard of the word of God, or Jesus, they can be saved, but they cannot be with Jesus until the millennial reign of Christ is over, and they are resurrected at the resurrection of the dead.
The Bible says that creation testifies that there is a God, and His attributes which one of them is love for He provided food, and the means to make clothing, and shelter, so the world is without excuse for not believing in a higher power that created all things, and since He created all things, and loves people, then people should love this higher power, and love people, which creation testifies of the 2 greatest laws love God, and love people.
Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.
Also our conscious bears witness of good, and bad.
The people that have not heard of the word of God, or Jesus, will be judged according to their belief in a higher power which creation testifies of a higher power.
And their conscious to do what is good by loving people for love is the fulfilling of the law, which is to not offend them, and only want the best for them.
And to ask this higher power for forgiveness if anything is amiss.
It would not be right if people that did not hear of the word of God, or Jesus, to be condemned, and people were saved before the Old Testament was given.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
This judgment happens after the millennial reign of Christ so the saints are all with Jesus.
This is the second resurrection of the dead to be judged, and the wording says whosoever is not found written in the book of life will be condemned which means there is people that might be saved because it did not that no one was in the book of life.
But the majority of these people seem like they would not be saved which there is an advantage to hearing the word of God, and about Jesus.
The people who did not believe in a higher power will not be saved which the Bible said the fool has said there is no God.
The people who believed in a higher power but did not love people like they should will not be saved.
The people who have heard the word of God, and about Jesus, but reject it will not be saved.
The people who have heard the word of God, and confessed Jesus as Savior, but were hypocritical holding unto sin will not be saved, which Jesus said the hypocrites will not be with Him and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, which not everyone that says Lord, Lord, shall be with Jesus because they were workers of iniquity.
Which the Lord knows them that are His having this seal that everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
But some people have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
