Are you saying that someone that never heard of Christ might be saved? Are you saying there is salvation without a knowledge of Christ?
Ever since the printing press people have gotten funny ideas about how God is experienced and how good they are at knowing all that God wants us to know.
Lets say after the reformation when people learned that they could not get to heaven by purchasing a ticket.
Jesus reinforced that by his constant quoting of the OT as He taught.
If you read the OT you will find that those periods of time where the scriptures were not central to the Jews were the times that they were apostate and following other gods and goddesses . It was only the word of God that brought them to repentance and back to God
Neh 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.
Neh 8:9 ¶ And Nehemiah, which [is] the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day [is] holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
That is what we saw in the pre-reformation Catholic church. False gods and heresy taught as doctrine and the word of God bring men back to the truth
"For by knowledge you are saved through Bible study, and this not of grace, that you may boast abundantly on the Internet." -- Artesians 7:42
He's right, Dave. It's all in there. I've seen the light.
