Okay, just making sure I understand.
Which isn't every case
Why? It would make it harder for them to go to paradise.
I mean, if they raped a child and beheaded their wife...
People without God are more likely to do this?
I mean, they can't live 100% Christian lives. But they can be good by what their heart calls them to do.
IE God's pulling them toward goodess.
Then Christians should not spread the Gospel
Because it would make it harder on pagans.
It wouldn't make it harder. There's no guarantee that they'll live moral lives having no knowledge of it.
Pagans have a higher chance of living immoral lives that would send them to hell compared to Christians?
Jesus Christ wants us to bring the whole world into captivity to the truth, and the truth is Jesus himself, who is "the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). Spreading the faith is a task not only for bishops, priests, and religious—it is a task for all Catholics (CCC 905).
Exactly
And yes, Pagans are more likely to live amoral lives
So that is still geographical favoritism. Based on where you are born, you have a higher chance to go to hell.
god just doesnt like people not born in the west
Well even in the time of the new testament there were churches established in india so that isn't quite true
and Armenia and Ethiopia were the first two nations to convert to Christianity
But not in Papua New Guinea
That's what missionaries are for
Just because someone is born in a Christian nation doesn't mean they will be saved.
Exactly
If anything, someone born in the US today has an even lower chance
But we can agree those born in pagan nations have a higher chance to not be saved, as they have a higher chance to live immoral lives
i keep having really strange experiences with time dilation
What do you mean?
So if someone born in the US has an even lower chance, is that still not geographical favoritism?
That's called psychosis. Go see a doctor.
Not really
It's due to the current state of the US society
That is not the fault of someone being born
Of course. We are not clones that exist in mirror universes, every individual's circumstances is unique.
I would feel bad for those who would unfortunately be born as pagans
in pagan lands
We do not know the true number of person's in heaven.
Surely an all-good god cannot have geographical favorites
like it will feel like 3 hours and ill look at the clock and its only been 15 mins, or it will feel like its been 2 mins but i look at the clock and its been a hour
How can a just God have favourites?
Exactly
John 3:16 says otherwise
