The implications of these conclusions make a hard hit on human pride and what we would naturally prefer to believe: the millions of people, both now and throughout history, who have been ignorant of the true Gospel; the severely mentally ill, who are unable to comprehend the Bible's message; babies and young children who have died before being old enough to appreciate the Gospel; all of these groups fall within the category of those who not have had the true knowledge of God, and are not therefore responsible to Him.
Vidokezo vya maneno haya vinafanya pigo baya kwa kiburi cha mwanadamu kwa kile ambacho kwa kawaida tunapenda kuamini: mamilioni ya watu,pande mbili, sasa na katika historia nzima, ambao hawaijui Injili ya kweli; kwa ugumu wa akili mbaya, ambao hawawezi kuelewa ujumbe wa Biblia; watoto wadogo na wachanga ambao wamekufa kabla ya kuwa watu wakubwa vya kutosha kuifahamu Injili; makundi yote hayo yanaangukia ndani ya aina ya wale ambao hawana elimu ya kweli juu ya Mungu, na kwa hiyo hawawajibiki kwake.
