In this episode we approach the difficult subject of what happens to those who never hear the message about Jesus.

Near the end of the episode I mentioned that I would include some resources for anyone who wanted to learn more about the fate of the unborn/infants/young children/the severely mentally handicapped who have died.

Here is a helpful article: https://www.gotquestions.org/do-babies-go-to-heaven.htmlHere is another relevant article: https://www.gotquestions.org/aborted-babies-heaven.htmlLastly, here is YouTube video of the audio of biblical scholar Michael Heiser discussing this very topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BV1nurdpgU
**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**At one point I said “various levels of hell.” I meant to say “various levels of punishment in hell.”

Access resources to aid in telling others about Jesus

I mentioned videos from the recent sharing Jesus workshop that we did at Mentoring Men for the Master. I will include the links to those below for any who are interested.

**CORRECTIONS*
At one point when quoting John 4:35, I accidentally omitted part of the verse. The other times I read it, I read that part correctly. However, here is the verse: "Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest."
When I said, "Seeking out people; saving people; restoring people to relationship with God; forgiving our sins" I was referring to what Jesus does. I was not implying that we ourselves can save people, restore them to relationship with God, or forgive their sins. Nevertheless, Jesus works through us.
I paraphrased John 7:17. Here is the exact quote: "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Support the Show.

**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

At one point I refer to the "temptation to think and feel". I meant to say "temptation to think or feel something" (implying something contrary to the Word of God). Obviously, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with thinking and feeling. God Himself thinks and feels. Rather, the point is what we are thinking about and if our feelings are godly.
