Who would want to serve the cruel God that Ankerburg depicts. Ankerburg has a very puerile approach to reasoning and interpretation. Because one member of a tribe includes a supreme God in their religion - then that means that they heard of Christ and understand clearly the choice they have to make?
I tend to side with Garner Ted. Sounds like he is on the hot seat as Jesus was and the John and the commentator are the pharisees trying to trip Garner Ted up!!! It was stated hereunder earlier that Sodom etc. would fair better than Capernaum if they had heard the gospel. I believe as Ted does that they will get their first real opprotunity at the GREAT WHITE THRONE judgement. How else can one read it but who am I.
@countryvet , Garner is a fallen creature and Jesus died for Garner T. Armstrongs sins and Jesus`s blood cleanses his sin. You are prophetical in the sense of Isaiah 4. Check about how Lucifer wanted to sit on God`s throne(I Will ascend to the throne of the highest), Garners hot seat will be real hot without the true Lamb of God.
Ankerberg demonstrates a weak understanding. It is only after resurrection that people will have any inkling of what reality is and what they are dealing with. This world is satan's and they are deceived. God will give all mankind a FIRST opportunity to repent, be baptized, receive the Holy Spirit, and become children of God, just as true Christians are being judged through their lifetimes now. God is merciful and loving, not the torturing monster that satan wants you to think.
John Ankerberg thinks uninformed Buddist monks have rejected the gospel (that they never heard of) and yet tribal people are "closer to nature and nature's God"
"But I tell you it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon than for you (the people of Korazin and BethSaida) on the Day of Judgment!And you, Capernahum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to the grave (Sheol)! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom, it would still be in existence today. But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom than for you!" Matthew 11:22-24
Thanks skyspash! I was also waiting for this part of the debate. If you could, check out this youtube video about those living in remote parts of the world and declaring that a person need not go through jesus in order to be saved. This was quite disturbing to me.

Sounds like a good book. C.S. Lewis deals with this subject in fictional form in the final book of the Narnia series, "The Last Battle."
