Goharley,

The point I was trying to make is that I believe the Bible (somewhere--I'll find it) makes a distinction between those who HAVE and those who HAVEN'T heard the Good News of Jesus and that you can't be held accountable if you have no knowledge of God or his Son like the person hypothetically described in the wilderness question.

BTW--Some of us believe the Holy Bible is the inspired by God, and some of us don't.

It's a free country and if you choose to only selectively believe the things in the Bible that concur with your own personal belief system--that's your right.


It's pretty telling that you compare quoting the Holy Bible with quoting "Float Fishing for Steelhead" or "The Guide to Driftfishing,"

While I think very highly of the authors who wrote the fishing books you mentioned--- I think more highly of the author of the Holy Bible.
