The question "what about people who never heard the gospel?" always comes up from universalists (people that believe that all roads/ways lead to God). We're going to deal with this question from a couple of different perspectives. Also we're going to address the assumptions from universalism about this question.

As Christians our understanding of the word "gospel" isn't the original meaning of the days of Jesus. We are going to dive into some history and cultural contexts of the word "gospel" and how the people of Jesus day understood what it meant in it's original context.

When people quote Matthew 7:1 most of the time they use it out of context. Most people don't read the rest of the passage (vv.2-5). Does Jesus mean don't judge at all? Absolutely not. Jesus is teaching how to judge and to not judge hypocritically. As believers and followers of Christ we must be skilled at judging people with grace & mercy and not condemnation. This episode is to break down the meaning of the Matthew 7 passage and to give other examples in the bible on how to judge correctly.
