The Logical Implications Of China's Lack Of Christianity

[David Sklansky]

Those born in China and many other countries, are much less likely to be or become Christians (and therefore have a good chance to go to heaven) than those born in America. Seems unfair. Christians will reply that anyone who is exposed at all to Christianity, has ample opportunity to embrace Jesus, and that includes the Chinese. And that is obviously true since millions of Chinese have undoubtedly become Christian.

But that STILL doesn't make it fair. Because "non seekers" or whatever you want to call them, in China, will remain unsaved non Christians. But plenty of American "non seekers" will be saved merely due to the fortunate fact that they are born American and therefore Christian. In other words its a lot more difficult for Chinese to find Christianity than Americans.

Thus one of three things must be true.

1. People were predestined before they were born to be saved or not, and what country they were born into is part of that. Not Ready evidently believes this, although he shys away from this subject because he knows even most Christians disagree. But he did once write that "it was no accident that he was born in the southern US" where his beliefs are prevalent. That answer addresses the issue. But it also makes a mockery of the idea that we have choices or free will.

2. People are being punished for the sins of their ancestors. Chinese in the past have historically been non Christian. So God is going to make it harder for their children to be saved. Doesn't seem right to me. How bout you?

OR

3. God doesn't care about being fair or just.
