I asked her about what she thought happens to those who never ever hear of her God, Bible are they then condemned to eternal hell.. This was her reply:
Quote:
Not necessarily Thor Vida Jonsson. I have listened to many reknowned Bible teaching people say that people can actually find eternal life through what they experience of the God of Creation. However, I do believe that having that relationship with God must be a personal decision and not just an "I believe there is a GOD." The Bible teaches that "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
I believe that God loves ALL people and doesn't wish for ONE to perish. I also know that there are things I will never understand about our world and the people in it and have to trust that somehow, some way, God provides for those. But I also think that is why God gave the Great Commission to "go and tell the nations."
I have talked to many missionaries like Steve Saint, son of Nate and Marj Saint who ministered with Missionary Aviation Fellowship in Ecuador who believe that is OUR commission--doesn't matter the place. We must share our faith and the gospel with others.
