Everyone has what is called a "conscience." Even if one doesn't know what to call it. Some have called it the "moral imperative." Some know it as the "still, small voice."
And if we are operating on the assumption that there IS a Creator and that He cares about His creatures coming to know His righteousness, then it is not that much of a stretch of the imagination to think that He can try a person's heart in whatever way He chose.
Quoting: Dried Up Hag There was a time before Jesus was born when Israel were chosen. All others were not. The same applies today. God's people are Christian just as the child has only one father. It is just a fact. The Gospel went to the world in the late 18th century and continues. Ultimately such a judgment is left to God, but we shouldnt make excuses for those who would say there are many paths to God. I apologize that you inferred from my statement that I supported the "many paths to God," theory. And - if I may add for clarity....the three phrases I used to describe mankind's knowledge of and/or communion with his Creator are all popularly used words and phrases found in modern Christian apologetics.... The "moral imperative" reference can be found in the writings of C.S. Lewis, a prominent Christian author. The "still, small voice" reference comes directly from the OT. The term "conscience" has been widely used by Christians of all persuasions to describe each person's individual perception of his Creator in an effort to encourage tolerance amid the many differing tenets found in Christianity...for example....those fighting against religious persecutions often used the term to explain that since one's religious beliefs were a matter of "conscience," it was immoral to persecute him...etc.
