of this quote...
Eskimo: If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?
Priest: No, not if you did not know.
Eskimo: Then why did you tell me?

Firstly, i dunt think its true. Whether a person knoes or not. I'm also wondering why its an Eskimo. Anyways, enough of my criticism. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!! LOL. My face was cracking up after I read it. Although Im Christian, I get tired of those missonary people that go around trying to convert people. i've had SEVERAL missonary people come up to me, asking, "Do you believe in God?" and im just getting tired of it. U dunt see buddhist people or jewish people trying to convert others or sharing their religion... why do christians do this???

I think that people love to use that excuse I do not know there for I am saved. Wrong. Jesus said before He returns all will have heard the truth about salvation. All will have knowledge of the way to everlasting eternity . All that is needed is the truth to be told. If somebody denys that truth it will not save them.

Because God wants us to have a relationship with Him also here. True love comes with a choice.

who's to say he wouldn't know?
God said that he would give us the law in our hearts. Our conscience. I'm sure that God would know how to get His message out to everyone.

That ain't necessarily true.The more light the more responsibility,but....We are judged on the light we are given(Romans chapter 1)Every culture knows it's wrong to murder ,steal etc.whether they have heard of God or not.

thats really cute, I like that. But God said that he will not return to this earth until every living soul has knowledge of him.
