It has spread far and wide, but even very recently there have been tribes discovered deep in hidden areas who have had no contact with the outside world until now. They have their own distinct culture, language, way of life, and ZERO communication with the outside world. Yes, this is FACT. Not that it is the point of my question, if you think that is what my question hinges on, then you have entirely missed the point. Please know facts. Making assumptions is wrong and potentially dangerous. Straight forward answers about that don't dance around the point or personally judge the question are appreciated. People are turning here for understanding but there is a fine line where things tip toward causing more confusion and/or push people away. This doesn't mean at all that everyone needs to agree but please have the Grace to stick to the point. Forget about whether every human has already heard of the gospel - completely besides the point. I am starting to read the bible and seriously looking for guidance. It is frustrating for a genuine seeker to deal with. Edited March 2, 2018 by starsong4 To express gratitude for responses. There is some helpful info here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would eliminate many countries and islands. They did not have jets back then, or cars. They went by foot, rode a horse/donkey or by ship. Read it in ACTS, what is written. YHVH'S WORD is perfect and complete, lacking nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is frustrating for a genuine seeker to deal with. This forum is not a good place to look for guidance, unless you realize that everything must be tested - there is a lot of deception, (almost everywhere on the internet as well as all over the world). This (condition of the internet and the world) is as written in Scripture. Likewise, test everything, and pray frequently to the Father in heaven for understanding .... Trust in Him to accomplish everything that is needed concerning your salvation in this life and in the life to come - This is what Jesus told all His disciples - then it is already accomplished ! 30 minutes ago, starsong4 said: I think it is important that people understand that the gospel has NOT spread into every corner, nook and cranny of the Earth (yet).

Oh, please provide scripture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
