Future of the Heathen
Romans 2:12
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;…


A clergyman once travelling in a stagecoach was abruptly asked by one of the passengers if any of the heathen would go to heaven. "Sir," replied the clergyman, "I am not appointed Judge of the world, and consequently I cannot tell; but if ever you get to heaven you shall either find some of them there or a good reason why they are not there" — a reply well fitted to answer an impertinent question, dictated, at best, by an idle curiosity.
