God and the lost people?

Question

Ever think to yourself why God let himself be known in the old testement and in the new testement on the other side of the world but not here? Even after Jesus people did not know about the bible untill almost 1500 years after he died. It almost seems as if God did not care about people in north or South america at the time. That is a very long time frame no wonder why these people worshipped the sun.

Answer 1

Well actually in my Church (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints) we believe that Christ visited the people of Ancient America, (Nephites) and then years latter we wipped out by their "brothers" the Laminites, which is who we associate with Native Americans. The Nephites wrote of his coming and many of his teachings in the Book of Mormon. I would suggest reading it, even if you dont want to believe it, it is still interesting. Suggesting that he visited other nations are in the scriptures.
John 10:16-
"And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."

Answer 2

Never thought about it because it is what it is. The scriptures were brought through the lineage of promise. So was Jesus. It was after Jesus that the rest of us had access. Paul explains it in detail. The new testament confirms Jesus and His teachings and ties them to the old testament. Plain as day.

You want proof? What do you think of it now? It has done what it was supposed to do. And here we are, debating and asking questions thousands of years later on Yahoo. No one was left out.

And if you're wondering about those who hadn't ever heard? That will be Gods decision. But remember this, we all came down through Noah and if you think of it, they knew of God. Once man spread out and was drawn away by his own desires, at that point blame rests entirely on man.

Answer 3

ALLAH (god) is aware of every living thing on the earth and all of them is under his control .... as birds get their food without having money .... and if what you say is true then people in north or south America wouldn't find air to breath or water to drink if God isn't caring about them

Answer 4

1500 years after,you need to do some study,the bible was around before 1500 years from the time of jesus,protestants reformed after 1500 years of catholic christianity.

it's not that God didn't care, it's that we didn't come over here sooner. it is ur job to preach God's word to the world, not God's. the great commision says go unto the world. and also in the OT God was mad at the Israelites, so He went into a 400 year silence. i'm glad God is here with us today
