In the Old Testament, people never heard of Christ either, and then Christ came and preached to them in hell. And St. John the Baptist also, we believe, came to hell before Christ and preached that Christ was about to come there in order to liberate all those who wanted to be liberated, who wanted to believe in Him. So God can open the truth to those who never had a chance to hear: that is, who did not reject the Gospel but just didn\u2019t hear about it. But once you accept the revelation, then of course you are much more responsible than anyone else. A person who accepts the revelation of God come in the flesh and then does not live according to it\u2014he is much worse off than any pagan priest or the like.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"f9dnq\" data-offset-key=\"8qcf2-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"8qcf2-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"8qcf2-0-0\">&#8211; \u2018God\u2019s Revelation to the Human Heart\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"8qcf2-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4546\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/xp117LHB-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/xp117LHB-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/xp117LHB-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/xp117LHB-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/xp117LHB-1-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/xp117LHB-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThose who have never heard of Christ\u2026that\u2019s for God to judge.
