Originally posted by RBHILLSo why does it say in 1 Corinthians, "For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."?
Following the Bible doesn't make you foolish.
The Bible says following it makes you WISE.
We all know what the def. of (Fool)ish means.

John 1:9 (KJV)
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
"True... but I believe John1:9 shows that those who never heard the gospel or the name Jesus are without excuse. "
follow from that verse?

In the beginning was the one
who is called the Word.
The Word was with God
and was truly God.
2From the very beginning
the Word was with God.
3And with this Word,
God created all things.
Nothing was made
without the Word.
Everything that was created
4received its life from him,
If Jesus is God, then any who pray to God also are praying to Jesus. If any ask God's forgiveness, then they are asking Jesus. So By whatever method one prays to God, One is still praying to Christ wether they be native American, Muslim, Jewish etc....
Originally posted by Crushing DayI believe the book of Romans addresses this to some extent. I guess what bothers me is a lot of Christians just come off as so judgmental. If you believe what the bible says than really no one at all deserves to go to heaven including Christians.
True... but I believe John1:9 shows that those who never heard the gospel or the name Jesus are [b]without excuse.
I could be wrong... just my thoughts.[/b]
