Hi Saints, Just wondering what you tell people when they ask you how God will deal with those who have never heard the gospel?I normally answer through Romans 1 that God's invisible attributes are clearly seen since the creation of the world.Any other answers would be greatly appreaciated.God bless you all and keep witnessing.

I might talk about the conscience. I usually say if they have broken God's law they are guilty and God will be just.

Josh what if someone asks about the people in the remoetest parts of the world still caught up in their traditions that they have not gotten a chance to hear that Jesus christ redeems them from the curse of the law?Just wondering.

Yeah HDmatt I also focus on Romans too when answering such questions.One time someone snatched my bible from me and asked me to answer the question without the bible.I said the same thing and quoted the same scripture and went on to explain.

I still say the same thing. If they have broken God's law, there will be justice. God will be just.
They will be judged according to the light they have, just as you and I will.

Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuse...

Romans 2:14-16 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature those things contained in the law, these having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
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;
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gosple.

Romans 9:11-29 -about God's soverignty. This is heavy stuff. esp. v.19-21- Thou wilt say unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonour?
God made unbelievers to be a dishonour by allowing satan to have his way with them, just as Pharoah and Esau.The reason He did this it says in v23 ...that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy which He had afore prepared unto glory,...
Also unbelievers have the law of God written on their hearts.Rom 2:14-16
I've been reading Romans all day.
