None of us will have an excuse.
Right now in this life time you and I are limited to what we know, what we
believe, our limitations have us searching while I may project upon you
things you may know that you do not, things you may understand that you
don't. God doesn't have to guess our realizations our actions produce
something within us that God understands and when on judgment day rolls
around and all things are revealed we will all see it too.
One of the things that Jesus talked about when he was discussing is how
we will be treated by whom, when we reject the truth when others were
able to acknowledge it with far less information:
Matthew 12:40-42New International Version (NIV)
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
