Judged According To One's Individual Revelation?

 Over here, I'll never stop a bit of preaching and pointing out the glory of God and cut to the chase of this short, vapor of the mortal life.

My deaf son (I just mention deafness for context . . . which is important) came home early from work.  He's worked at a Costco-type place for years.  Hard worker.  Mid-30s.  Gets up at 3am every morning, puts in his time there.  All kinds of typical workplace "politics", personalities, nepotism, etc., which he has valorously braved through, and being deaf, is not so easy. . . .

Anyway, he comes home early this morning, in tears.  One of the few, sweet, kind-hearted "good guy" worker buddies he has had there over the years, died suddenly, yesterday.  40 yrs old.  Bloodclot went from leg to heart, turbo style. . . .

Life is short.  Well, and it doesn't go unnoticed that some of the worst, most evil people in this world live a long time.  It's almost like they've got supernatural life-extension means. . . .

Well, and all too often it seems, the "good" die young.  

THIS LIFE IS SHORT regardless if you live 7, 24, 40, 50 . . . or 90+ years!!!

ETERNITY is actually the long life.

Having long pondered, prayed and wondered over a certain specific area of spiritual understanding, curiosity relating to . . . ie., what happens to those who have not Heard The Word . . . been thoroughly exposed to and searched out The Gospel. . . .

For example, cannibals in Papua New Guinea?  Or "native americans" roaming the plains before the missionaries and white people came. . . . OR, in the deep Amazon or thick African jungle tribes. . . . OR, on the Mongol vast tundra lands. . . . OR, in far off, rural, dirt and hut villages around Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos . . . islands in the wide oceans. . . .

Well, I dare say this, after long study and thought; and it's something that I intuitively/spiritual apprehended early and now just continuing to agree with the initial impression, combined with scriptural exegetical study and thought. . . .

WHICH IS:  Each individual is judged by the amount of Light and Truth they have been genuinely exposed to (and pressed by the Holy Spirit to search out further, according to their situation and inherent ability.)  

God is Just.  The Lord is merciful.  Those who hate and deny and don't want Him, will get what they want.  

That's fair, just, right?

AND, those who seek and love and yearn for Goodness, Holiness, Light, Life, The Way, WILL ALSO be adjudged according to their purpose and desire; relative to what they were Shown, exposed to, came across, preached to, heartfully thoughtfully spiritually sought. . . .

Because our son's co-worker friend was a Mormon, our son was tearfully concerned this morning, whether "Trev" went to Hell or Heaven. . . .

First off, I think everyone ought get solid if they themselves are headed decidedly to either Hell or Heaven. . . 

Next, I believe, and comforted him, that . . . so far as "T" was concerned . . . the young man was "good", kind, giving, loved and sought God, had a heart and mind that was attracted to and loved Jesus Christ (albeit, he probably had a Mormon-warped conception of The Messiah) . . . and so, for what he had comprehended of God, and heart longed for, I believe he is with The Lord, in Heaven.

Of course, I do not know for sure, and have no authority to guarantee that opinion to our grieving son. 

BUT, I will say, I believe this is what The Spirit is telling me, and in general, I dare say, God judges according to the soul's situation, ability, life circumstances . . . and, taking all that mercifully into consideration . . . according to how YOU SPIRITUALLY respond to that. . . . YES, you must believe in and accept The Lord.  The One True Lord God.  

But I believe that there are people, creatures, who may have a hazy (ie., doctrinal) idea of who God is--BUT GOD SEES THE HEART!  HE SEES THE MIND!  HE KNOWS THE SINCERE GENUINE SEEKER apart from the phony, pretentious, wishful thinking SELF-seeking children of the devil.

So, if I were to deduce the overall premise here . . . I would (strongly) comfortingly suggest . . . that God judges His creatures based on their unique reaction according to the amount of Revelation they have been given/exposed to. . . . .
