If God Only Judges Us According To Our Knowledge then Why?

Question

You Christians like to claim that God only judges us according to our knowledge.

You say that God will not condemn a retarded kid since he can't comprehend the Bible.
You say that local tribal people never exposed to the Bible will not be condemned since they will only be judged according to their knowledge.

Simply put: God will not judge people that have not recieved adequate information to believe in Him whether it be retarded, tribal, or even normal people.

Why would people not believe? Because of stubborness or inadequate input?

If i received adequate facts and reasons to believe in God I couldn't lie to myself that I don't believe.

I don't beleive, as well as all the other atheists, because I haven't recieved any information or reasons enough to believe in Him.

Yes! I know Him and I have heard Him and I read the Bible and I have been to church but I just don't believe because I just simply "DON'T".

Scientifically speaking to little information is given.

Therefore it could be claimed that every single person not believing in God is due to too little information given thus rendering God incapable of judging even one single soul due to His words of judging according to the knowlege given.

Remember that NO ONE would pretend or refuse to not belive if given enought information.

This totally blows the God judging on judgement day! Really blows it off completely doesn't it?

mace 180; oh my goodness. When did I say smart people goes to heaven?

Idiots like you don't even answer please.

Despite not believing I still respect what people consider divine.

Answer 1

James 2:24

"You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone."

Answer 2

You are assuming that the Christian faith actually knows what their God expects and that every person is "judged" by the same standards. That probably does work for people who like to squeeze into the same mold together. Christian or not, atheist or not, there's only one thing that any God would use for or against anyone: your own personal purpose, gifts, and service. "God" did not make us all the same so that we could all be "judged" the same. I believe that "judgment" is based upon how you do what you choose to do...Service. If we are all unique, then no one can tell anyone what judgment is based on for some one else. You know what your gifts and talents are and how to use them to achieve a purpose. What else would judgment be based upon? The Bible spends alot of ink to say what people should think, feel, do, and act. Yet, the real world is a place of differences. I am pretty sure that "God", if that's the term you wish to use, is well aware of that. You're never going to get proof, except for one thing- the Sun is still shining. You do have more choices than Christian or atheist, you know. By the way- God didn't ask you to believe- He just said to breathe. Live as you will, Serve as your heart says you must, not a book. Not a book. Knowledge comes from more places than books. The Bible is just a book.

Sadly their is a misunderstanding somewhere. The Bible teaches that if a person goes to hell they go to hell because of sin (Roman 6:23), hell is a deserving reward for sin. The Bible also teaches that everybody is a sinner (Romans 3:23). So then everybody deserves hell. That is what the Bible plainly teaches. If a local tribesman ever comes to the conclusion that he has done wrong he had better have his sin forgiven or he is in for a terrible eternity! Everybody knows that nobody is perfect! Everybody knows they are separated from God by this lack of perfectness! The Bible teaches that should be enough information to realize the need for a Saviour which is why Christ came. Of course the Bible also teaches that the witness of creation, physics and other such things have been given as a witness and proof that their is a God! We then, being not perfect, are supposed to recognize that God made this place and trust Him for salvation. Even if a Bible was never brought to that person, enough information has been given to every person that can recognize the difference between right and wrong.

NOTE: The Bible does not clearly teach the following; merely eludes that it might be a possibility. I have chosen to believe the following for the sake of my conscience. So you have been given enough information, you are just an idiot.

The Bible seems to elude to the fact that if a person does not know that they are sinner they will not beheld accountable for their sin. Examples of people who may not know they are sinner: babies, retarded and others of the such. The Bible seems to elude, but does not clearly state, that people like that will be forgiven simple because they could not tell the difference between right and wrong or knew that they were even a sinner.

Answer 4

You say that you don't believe because you haven't received any information or reasons enough to believe.

The bible says that Faith comes by hearing from the word of God (I'm paraphrasing). The point is, no one can believe or understand until they have a personal experience - devine revelation. Because this is personal and different to each individual, I can't explain it to you, nor can anyone else. The bible teaches that we are called and chosen by God, not us choosing him.

Honestly, that is the only way I can explain it. When it happens, you will know it, and all doubt will be removed. Until then, you will remain with a lot of questions.

I find it interesting that atheist are always questioning believers, asking for proof for what they insist does not exist. If God doesn't exist and you really believe that, why do you care what anyone else believes?

Answer 5

People that don't receive adequate information about God or the Word of God, whether literate or illiterate will be judge like all others. God will judge His people; not by your good deeds or faith or lack of faith. He will judge your heart and only He and You know the TRUTH IN YOUR HEART.

Remember, not everyone is chosen, unless you want to be chosen. The decision is all yours not HIS.
GOD JUDGES THE HEART NOT THE INTELLIGENCE.

"Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with SPIRIT and TRUTH, for indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship Him. GOD is a SPIRIT and those worshiping Him must worship with SPIRIT and TRUTH." John 4:23-24

GOD BLESS! AMEN! SHALOM!

Answer 6

I think that you are just a bit confused. It's no way after being on this earth that you do not know of the Lord. you may say that you haven't seen him in your life but that will not be the truth that will be stubbornness. The Lord reveals himself to whom ever he chooses. Some one at one point or another will tell you and everyone you know the good news whether you accept it in your heart is up to you. But IF you are called according to his purpose then you will be turned around in the midnight hour. for you are " predestined before the foundation of the world" which means you can say or believe what ever you want but if the LORD has a calling on your life there is nothing you can do but yield.

Answer 7

the more well informed you become the more evident it becomes that you don't believe in him because there is no him to believe in,but I shouldn't have to say so .
No one seems to have an all encompassing awareness to judge every fellow being to perfection with mercy and honor . But we do judge out of necessity and then say vengeance is mine saith the lord who will judge the living and the dead as an attempt to compensate and show our human frailty is far from perfect . To me this is a left handed attempt to advance our world in cognizance as sentient beings .

Answer 8

God will judge the unbelievers by there sins , if any one hears the word of God in their life time ...then there is a chance the seed will have been sown

Answer 9

I am a Christian, and I do not say that God only judges us according to our knowledge. And don't say anything about salvation in relation to the Bible.

Answer 10

Look at yourself. Do you exist? How did you get here? So you believe in science? Then you existance is based solely on probability. The probability that you exist says that you dont exist. You still believe in science and math? how can you believe in science when you dont fully understand it. So you are not going to believe in God cause you dont fully understand it without proof. You can prove you dont exist using science. Yet you are here. so what do you believe in science or God neither one can you prove.
