Is it perhaps these?
Rom 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Rom 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
Rom 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O ...[text shortened]... and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
EDIT:removed the edit from my earlier post and fitted it in here...
just remebered, Matthew 25 31-46 says that "whatever you do the the least of men you do to me", or something like it. on judgement day we shant be asked "do you believe in the virgin birth?" or "is creationism true?". instead we shall be asked "i was naked, did you clothe me? i was hungry, did you feed me?".
http://www.gotquestions.org/never-heard.html i think this artice is going along the right lines, but i disagree with them when they say that everyone has rejected what they have seen. persoanlly, i do not feel that this is true, rather that people reject different amounts. some, those who have the word of God is written on their hearts, reject little, while others reject most if not all. for God is love incarnate, and how can you love if you ignore God fully? the devil, i beleive, cannot love. much like Lord Voldemort (sp?)...
what i beleive, personally, is that non-Christains who strive to do good and are trully sorry for their sin shall be saved. those who ignore God shall not. where the line is drawn i do not know...

A just God yes that's what he is and if you don't accept Christt he will give you the justice that you desurve.

GOD in being fair and just does not want anyone to go to everlasting punishment. So HE gives each of us a choice. If we look into our own lives, we make decisions on right and wrong every day. Those decisions prepare the road that we travel.
Originally posted by wibThere is no "so called" grey area. GOD has always said do or don't. Yes or no. Right or wrong. HE has always stated quite clearly the rewards for doing what HE says. HE has clearly stated the Price for not doing what HE says.
[b]I believe God will view us by the amount of light we have recieved.
That's just more gray area piled on top of gray area. So a person who has never heard a single word of God (the Christian version) gets a free pass into heaven when they die? Then someone like myself, who's surrounded with a church on every corner, has a higher standard to meet to get into heaven?[/b]

Not all have heard, nor all will hear the gospel.
Those who have not heard will be judged according to their works, like in the OT.
I do not believe that God can be placed in a test tube, so to speak.
One cannot say, if you do this, that will happen, and so on.
God, by His own definition is righteous, holy, just, loving, full of wisdom, etc.
By this definition, I trust He will do the right thing.
BTW...I also do not believe the bible is interpreted correctly, when speaking of eternal torment.
