If we were to look at a few examples of where God appears most biased we may definitely agree that salvation is on the border of fair and unfairness. According to the bible, we are to love and worship God with all of our heart and soul. At the end of life, we are judged according to our conduct in life. We may enter heaven by the grace of God and acceptance of Christ our Savior. But, what if we have no knowledge of God or the bible? How are we then judged? Logically speaking, it appears judgment is biased toward those who have knowledge of God and His Word. This presents several problems. Is it fair to be judged based on our knowledge God and the bible? Why then are those of faith held accountable? Some believe that only certain people have a calling to God. What does that really mean? Is God biased toward certain individuals? I’ve heard that eventually everyone will get a chance to acknowledge and submit to God. Thus, judgment is on hold until everyone is given a chance to know and accept God (Jesus). I would be interested in understanding the purpose in creating humans who have no access to the bible or the Lord’s message (if our sole purpose is to serve God)? At times, trying to understand God is a complete mystery.
Btw, I asked my eight year old son the question about those who have no access to religion or the bible and he responded rather cleverly that we should spread the word to those of distant lands. With no religious background, his response was very logical, but what if we can’t get to those people?
