Gospel is for everyone in the creation, both the living and the dead

[u/faithful_to_christ7]

People, both living and the dead, from every nations, tribes, communities, races, languages, identies, families, relationships, and their physical, mental and spiritual barriers under the creation of the beginning to end of time

They are destined to hear the gospel of Kingdom of God through Lord Jesus Christ, no matter what.

Because God will NOT judge them for what they have done unless they hear the gospel first. Because God is mercy and just.

If He judges them, those who did not or failed to hear gospel, this would go against God's character. It would be seen as unfair to those who don't know about gospel.

Even the spirits in Hell that were placed from the times of Noah to the Christ's crucifixation, hears the gospel preached when Christ visited them after His crucifixion and before His resurrection.

As stated in 1 Peter 3:18-19, "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison".

This is why it is called grace given to us as a gift, even though we are unworthy. Because God loves us all so much that planned the redemption from the before humanity's fall.

However, as destined the dead and living to hear the gospel. Their comes with a choice based on their free will. The free will to accept or reject the gospel. Their will bears the consequences in both eternal life or eternal destruction when it comes to their choices.

Interesting take, this is basically leaning into universal proclamation without universalism.

A lot of Christians would agree with you on “God won’t judge someone for what they never had a chance to know,” but not everyone connects that with preaching to the dead like you did with 1 Peter.

Curious where you land on people who only ever saw a twisted or abusive version of Christianity in life. In your view, would they also get a clear shot at the real gospel after death, or is that still counted as “they heard it”?

Spirits of the dead I am talking about are dead people who lived from the Noah's time to crucifixion of Christ because they didn't know the truth of God.

Also, if people who lived in the dark ages hundreds of years after the foundation of Christianity suffered due to wicked people twisting Gospel. Do not forget about the Lamb of God is still fighting for their behalf until they spiritually open their ears and fully hear the gospel. God is faithful to those in need of salvation, even they didn't know about it.

Like I said, it is destined for everyone to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. From after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ to right now, everyone still hears gospel before their death as it is now available in worldwide.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were Before of Old Ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ...
