Is Jesus the only way?

[RebekahDavid]

yes strikethesystem i did. did you prayerfully think about mine? Why do you think that God can not reveal Himself ( all of Him) and yet can part of Him?

love your sister in Christ,

some calvinist i know would say

it wouldnt matter if they lived isolated because they would respond the same way even if they lived in a big city unless God draws them

Well I cannot believe that this would be true. I really can't believe that these people would have the same views on the supernatural if they lived in New York City, or a small town like mine. Especially a town like mine.... Enviromental influence is very important. If I grew up in Iraq and was raised by muslim parents, there is a very strong possibility that I will fall into the faith of my parents. The same goes for the "tribesmen".

But Christianity is very relevant and talked alot about here in america. There are churches EVERYWHERE, and there are christians EVERYWHERE. I am very impressed that you found the faith even through these conditions(and I applaud you most thoroughly). But your situation isn't even close to the same as the "tribesmen's" situation. He doesn't know the name of Jesus, or is even aware that a bible exists, and has no way of finding out, unless of course a missionary goes and tells him. But many have not been reached.

Yes, yes of course. But how can you be drawn by God without even having a notion of Him? And what about the issue concerning the lack of a bible? What is ya'lls view concerning this issue?

Once again you seem to be separating God. Jesus is part of God systemstrike when He reveals Himself.

I think you have to have some knowledge of the bible to ask jesus for forgivness.

If someone comes up and say "hey say "jesus forgive me for my sin" " and you say it it does not mean you are saved you have to have the knowledge to know about the commitment
