I'm not sure how starving missionaries would share with those billions, despite the fact of trillions [USD] having been lavished upon them over the last hundred years. And yet still there are places where Christians are strung up on sight, more or less, suggesting that they HAVE heard The Gospel in order to be able to identify a Christian in the first place. Otherwise it would be, “Crazy person come from land far away many seas tell strange tales,” rather than, “It's another Christian; string it up..” (or run it through) “..and dump..” (or eat) “..it like the last one.” Why would they do that?

Brothers and Sisters, thank you for this timely message from The Christian Post. I remember as a child asking the Pastor if everyone born before the time of Jesus had gone to Hell, even though God would know He was condemning them to Hell without any chance of salvation? Yes.

Same for those unsaved souls in Africa - they are basically condemned to Hell. We know God doesn't care that much, but we can nevertheless do something to save them with a donation to the Church. I'll let Pastor Platt persuade you:

"We spend most of our money on ourselves. We give some of our money to churches and ministries. And we spend most of that money in churches and ministries on making ourselves more comfortable in our churches and ministries. And then there's a small percentage of the money that we give to churches and ministries that goes toward what we normally call missions overseas to other countries. We're fooling ourselves if we think we're passionate about giving to missions while we're ignoring 3 billion people who've never heard the Gospel."

Edit: please don't send donations directly to Pastor Platt, but rather to Pastor Zeke who will bless your donation for a small cut.

It may be worth asking them if anyone, anywhere, could get into Heaven without faith in Jesus, then why did Jesus have to die in the first place?

Jesus made it clear in John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the light." Just because someone was born and grew up in a deep dark jungle somewhere does not change that. The inevitable and unavoidable rule is, get with the program.

Thank you, Brother Mayor, for your courage in stating an unpopular, but Biblically-supported truth.

There is just so much that the Fluffy Bunny "Christians" do not want to accept about their supposedly Bible-based faith.

That was going so well, until the very end:

And it's not to waste your life [carving] out a comfortable Christian spin on the American dream. You were created for so much more than this,'" he concluded.

Am I to understand the American dream is something other than applied Christianity?

A sort of pure theory upon which multiple veneers may be overlaid?

Surely that would mean there was an atheist American dream (with a comfortable atheist spin) or a demoniac American dream (with a comfortable demonic spin) or even a sodomite American dream (with a comfortable anal spin) ? ? ?

Name the heresy or demon of your choice, any revolting idol you like, any high priestess presiding over any depraved temple, all could be veneered upon the pure theory according to taste all at the same time, it follows if such people all exist at the same time, but apart from that it was an interesting read.

In Christ.

I can't tell you how many good people in Freehold have told me this: "People in deepest dark Africa or in the middle of the dessert in Saudia Aribia who have never heard the Gospel are innocent and will go to heaven." I hate to tell them they are wrong, but they are.

Psalm 51:5 explains why those in remote places in the world, in places not yet reached by Landover Baptist and have never heard Pastor Zeke preach, are sinners. It is because the Bible tells us clearly all people are born sinners, "...in sin my mother conceived me." To put it bluntly, if we white people in the West are born sinners, so are those in every corner of the globe. It does not matter if the Gospel has reached them or not, they are headed to hell.

Those "unreached" have even fewer excuses as technology moves forward. Cell phones are common in remote areas. People can find us here at Landover Baptist. If they are too lazy to log on, they get the eternity they deserve.
