Both the original law and the new rules were revealed only locally. In all of this, the native americans were left in the dark. All of them were sinners in God's eyes, and none had the tools to obtain redemption.
The same goes for Africa, and even much of Asia and Europe.
Why did God not give these people a chance to learn about him? Why didn't he reveal himself in more than one location, in order to spread the word, and get what he wants - more followers?Why did God ignore americans?
Either A. God is fictional
B. God is racist
C. God could not afford a boat fare
D. God sent word there, but nobody listened so it was never recordedWhy did God ignore americans?
He chose those people of the Nation not land of Israel to reveal himself to the world. He picked the Israelites the fewest number of all to use to show forth is glory to all of mankind to know what it is like to live for him and to follow his laws and commands
you have been seriously mislead. i'll just take 1 part of your statement. there are too many wrong to take them all.
Both the original law and the new rules were revealed only locally. do a search of what is called the gap. there is a long time in Christ's life that is not biblicly accounted for. now do a search of the bat creek stone. you will see that this stone bears immense resemblance to scripture. look at where it was found. nowhere in the middle east. that much i will tell you.
You are wrong they are not sinners in God's eyes. John 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. This means if one does not know God's true word then he has no sin but if God has revealed the truth to a person and he sins, his sin remains. Later....John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. Here Jesus says pretty much the same thing..if he had not revealed to them God's truth then they have not sinned according to his word but now that its beeen revealed they there is no hiding it from God. You see God will give everyone a chance to live like him. Either in this life or the next. In this life God will reveal his truth to a select few who are worthy of becoming a teacher of his ways in the next life, so in turn they can show the ';blind'; whom Jesus referred to here the ways of God. Now do you see how great God really is!?
jesus said on many occasions in the bible, the kingdom of heaven is inside you, gnostic texts have him saying people will say heaven is here or heaven is there, believe not for it is inside you. back to the bible, know yourself and you will be known, im still understanding the bible, been reading and studying for over ten years now, you cant base your answer off what others tell you, its a personal relationship with God, i know you want answers to questions like this but before you can understand who God is, you have to understand who you are. not what your hobbies are or what you like to do, thats all outward, talking about inside, when everything around you is gone no friends no people no money no nothing, who you are. not your personality not what makes you laugh, but who you are to the core. then once you have an understanding of that will other things start to make sense and the epiphanys will come like a tsunami, it takes much meditation and and studying and asking but with time it will come, a bit off topic but it will help if you apply
matt s...... no sir that interpretation is close but incorrect, if that were the case why encourage the spreading of the word, if ignorance meant a trip to the pearly gates how cruel would it be to spread knowledge and there by sending many away. rather what one might interpret, is that if you were blind, meaning were like the animals no mind to know right and wrong you would be without sin because sin would not exist in a world where right and wrong could not be seen. but since you say we see your sins remain, since you have the ability and claim to know what is right and wrong your sins, the things you see as wrong remain,
Israel had been selected rather than some other nation because of God檚 love for Abraham. (Deut. 7:7, 8; 2聽Ki. 13:23) Some 400 years after the Flood, Jehovah found Abraham to be a man who accepted God at his word, with unquestioning obedience. (Gen. 15:1, 6; Rom. 4:18-22) Abraham obeyed according to the knowledge he had received about God and his dealings with Abraham檚 forefathers Noah and Shem. Consequently, his offspring through his faithful wife Sarah received the unique blessing of being the covenant people of God, used for his purpose.
The other nations went their own way of self-rule and disobedience to God.
But Jehovah had not forgotten the other nations. While dealing exclusively with Israel, he was working out a purpose to bless these nations later, although they were completely ignorant of this fact.
we were not in the dark. there were not ';dark ages'; on this side of the ocean, remember? we were doing quite well until someone (cough) showed up with their god and religion. that was the day we were introduced to hell.
we have been in hell ever since.
one day you will realize it wasn't us who needed a savior. we were already living as we were instructed.
