Reality Check: What Must Be the Case if Christianity is True?
12) That although people around the world are raised in different cultures to believe in their particular god(s) there is only one God and he will judge all people based upon whether or not they believe Jesus is Lord.
[Christian Gerrymandering Fine Print Caveats: If non-Christian people were never given an opportunity to accept Jesus and be saved then God will judge them based on: 1) whether they would've done so if given a chance (which may include, well, billions of infidels into heaven, and would render all evangelistic and missionary work unnecessary), or 2) whether they were good people despite not becoming Christians (which may include billions more infidels, including atheists; woooo hoooo!), or 3) they could end up in a temporary purgatory that will help purify these souls for later entrance into heaven (which allows for most people to eventually be in heaven except people who are beyond any hope of purifying--know anyone like that?), or 4) God foreknew those people who would not have accepted Jesus even if given a chance so he placed them in regions of the world where they are raised to believe in other gods (i.e., William Lane Craig, no surprise here. But if God had this kind of foreknowledge then why create those people in the first place!!!!). But given the first three Fine Print Caveats, it seems clear more people will be admitted into heaven if Christians stopped all evangelistic efforts now!]
