The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

What happened to people that lived far away like Hawaii or Australia and died without knowing about Jesus or the Bible ever in their life?

I know you're gonna say purgatory but as far as I know purgatory is a man made concept not mentioned once in the Bible. You can always prove me wrong though.

That's a tough question.

The bible says that the only way to be saved is by Jesus, if you don't know Jesus you don't believe him, you don't produce fruit and then you won't be saved.

I truly believe in predestinarion and I think that thoses people wasn't chosen by God.

But doesn't God have plans for everyone and every person born was created with purpose?

To create souls just to send them to hell sounds evil, and I know God isn't evil.

>13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

>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:

>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

Romans 2

Law of of God = Conscience everyone is born with

>13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

>14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24

Even today there are still places where the gospel has not been preached

>You can always prove me wrong though.

(Matthew 12:32): "And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come."

Okay, but Jesus could've been referring to the second judgement and hell to follow when He said "the world to come".

>Every man's work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man'swork, of what sort it is. If any man'swork abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work burn, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire."

This passage to me just sounds like Paul describing how judgement will be carried out. Now what my dad taught me was that there is only heaven and hell but they're temporary versions, and after the last judgement on every souls they'll be transferred to true heaven and hell respectively. That kind of sounds similar to purgatory now that I think about it (temporary place where souls go) but I know that wasn't what he meant. When I asked him the same question he said "that's up to God".

There is a reason we should spread the Gospel as much as possible

It doesn't work that way.

After the original sin all of us have been condemned by our own nature, but God chose to pick some up.

God does not create souls to send them to hell, all souls are already there cause all men was born condemmed. The kindness of God is seen when he decides to save some of them.

This.

OP, think of it this way. Whose fault is it that these souls are going to Hell? Do you blame God, or do you blame Man? Is God evil, or is Man evil? For God so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. How come then, that Man tries so hard to prevent the spread of the Good News? Why did they crucify Jesus on the cross? Why were many of the Apostles martyred for their faith. Why were Christians tied to a pole and lit on fire while alive by the Roman emperor? Why is it, that in some parts of the world, that Christians are persecuted for their faith, even to this day?

OP, what if tomorrow, that everybody decides to believe in God (Jehovah, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit). That everybody on this Earth decide to simply love God and love one another. What if tomorrow, everybody truly in their deepest hearts believe in God, the one and only true God, that everybody on this Earth repents of their sin and we all cry out to God in prayer and thanksgiving. It's really not that difficult as you imagine it to be. OP, truly I tell you, we all would be so blessed if that were to happen. I can only imagine.

You are correct. Calvinism is evil.
