I have been reading this posts and I agree with most of what has been said. My concern is that God will judge everyone individually. I am reminded of the Samoans an hundred years ago. These people ran around without clothes and worshiped sex. Those people growing up in those years under that culture did not know that living that way was wrong. That society had rules and as long as a member of that society followed the rules that they lived under, then they did not sin unless they went against the rules of society that they were taught. God will take everything that we were given to deal with into consideration when it comes to judging us. What did we know,(personal sense of right and wrong) what culture we were raised in and did we live the best under those circumstances that we agreed to come to earth to live with as mortals. Since sinning is knowingly breaking the law, then those without the law cannot be judged by the law. People do commit wickedness because they know certain laws are present such as it is wrong to steal or lie because they were taught these things by parents and society. There is no universal understanding of right and wrong for everyone on earth. Only those who ultimately accept the fulness of the Gospel in this life asked that they be given the opportunity to have the fulness of the gospel in this life. All others throughout the history of the world asked not to have the responsibility of living the gospel standards in this life. They will be judged differently that we will. In the next life, everyone who has not had the opportunity to accept the truth about God and the gospel, will be given that opportunity and will then be judged by a different standard that they lived in this life.
