A youth pastor told me not too long ago that belief in the christian messiah was the only way to pardise after death. after some thought, i asked about native peoples in africa, or in rainforests, basicly anywhere where people havent been "witnessed to".
he told me, with the same soft voice he used to preach," the bible says that, through creation,man should know god exists." This shocked me. People still believe that drinking cow's blood will bring rain, becuase THEY DONT KNOW ANY BETTER, god will still send them to eternal pain? Wouldnt these people, never hearing of jesus being the only way to heaven, have the same (for lack of a better term) excuse as children, with the age of accountability? can anyone offer some insight on this? thank you.
