One of the hardest things I have grappled with in my faith, is the fact that the Gospels, while steaming forward on the internet like a lit fuse,, are not only universally available (at this time) but also were scant and hard to come by in centuries past.
What happens to the souls who never heard God's promise of forgiveness? Should they be damned on account of not accepting God's grace when they never even knew anything about it?
Here's the rub, which is really the heart of my question: The question is this:
I have witnessed several answers to this question. They essentially say that GOD is self-evident.
If God is Self-evident, why would anyone waste their time sharing the Gospel.. if it was SELF-EVIDENT?
It would seem to me to be a gross waste of time.
Assuming that sentiment is true, what happens to people who have never heard the name "Jesus?"
