I know I have and never having a clear understanding of it always believed God knows what He's doing. Amen! There has always been those peoples that have not had salvation laid out for them in black ang white, and we know there still are.I have heard it preached that the Lord will not return until the whole world is preached, thank you Jesus He has called missionaries out. But for those that are unreachable, due to communications and circumstances He will reveal Himself to them, how great is the awesomeness of God. How great is the grace of God is put into action!

He cannot just do nothing with the revelation, can he? Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Acts 17:26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. When God's grace has been revealed, then man's heart is pricked to go and seek more of Him, through His Word. We cannot find Him outside of His Word. It is the "beginning" place. In His Love, Suzanne Yes, they do. The very point we are discussing are concerning those who have not, or do not, have a bible, or even knows about a bible, God, Jesus or any history of God. The bible tells us that the word will be preached in all the world ... future tense. In the past, and in some cases the present, there are those who do not have His word. As I stated, if a person realized that God does exist through Gods creation, and seeks after Gods heart, I personally believe that His Spirit will guide them in all truth, as He does when convicting sinners of their sin.

It brought to remembrance how many times we try and give excuse for the man in remote jungle who has not heard the gospel. Does this stifle the idea that there are some who are excused from condemnation, because they have not heard?

I NEVER want to discount that mankind has an obligation to seek God thru His Word. That is foundational. I was just merely pointing out, that God can capture the heart and mind of mankind, ALL mankind, so that they might seek after HIM, and go and find His Word, so that they would know HIM more completely!
