: Those who lived before Christ had a chance to respond to the Gospel when Jesus descended to Sheol and preached to them.
That's real nifty, Fe. Did you dig that out of a CNN video vault?
:Since the resurrection, it's been the duty of the Church to see to it that all people have an opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel.
And THIS is fair? If the Church fails in its duty (as one can easily imagine it has - Jimmy Swaggart, that Baker fellow, now Jesse Jackson, not to mention all those pedophile priests), then it appears that, according to your thinking, most of the planet (including 1 billion plus in China, a billion plus in India) is STILL going to hell in a hand basket.
I want to understand. I want to be fair. I need a LOT more help than this, however!
still waiting,
