“But the Bible says that the unreached will be judged on a quite different basis than those who have heard the gospel. God will judge the unreached on the basis of their response to His self-revelation in nature and conscience.

The Bible promises salvation to anyone who responds affirmatively to this self-revelation of God” KnowsHeartPersonsDifferentSelfLawOrderMoralHeardJudgingPromiseConscienceBasesSalvationResponseCreatorGods WillRevelationsJudgedGod ExistsMoral LawSelf RevelationCreator God Author:William Lane Craig

“The relationship between looking and desire is really about the promise of revelation - the hope that the subject of your gaze will reveal something to you - whether or not that revelation is prurient. And that's really what eroticism is - the anticipation of disclosure.” DesirePromiseRevelationsAnticipation Author:Nicole Miller
