The saddest part is that, in theory, nobody has to go to hell. The price has been paid for everyone.
And as for China, I have a friend who is a missionary in China; it's easier to preach to people there than it is here, sometimes.

The only person who has a say in who goes to heaven is God. Just because someone doesn't hear about God, doesn't mean they aren't going to heaven. God will judge us on what we know, what we believe and if we have lived our religion- the type of people we are, not what we haven't been taught.
So what if bibles are allowed in China? Don't you think that there will be a system set up whereby people can learn about Christ and God after they die? Maybe because they haven't had a chance to learn in this world, they will learn in the next. After all, we all learn and grow after we die, or what would be the point of heaven to begin with?

Bibles are not prohibited in China. Christianity is growing and thriving in China. The only form of Christianity which is forbidden in China are Christians who don't support the Chinese government.

It's not sad in theory that a lot of people won't go to heaven. It is a truth. What is sad is that everyone can go to heaven. No one has to go to hell. It is a choice that each and every person most make- believe in Jesus Christ and have everlasting fellowship with him and God or don't believe and have everlastingseparation from God.

Access to certain web sites is also prohibited in China. This is what happens when anti-religious power-hungry zealots rule a country.

the sad part is people like you think they have the absolute truth on who goes to heaven and all it is is speculation at best. China will be fine, tthere are beliefs older than your own and its very arrogant to think that you have the keys to heaven.

It has been my understanding that if a person dies not ever knowing who God is or the concept of God, they go to heaven anyways. Little children and babies fall into this catagory. However, a person dies not knowing God and you didn't tell them when the opportunity presented itself, it will be a mark against you.
Read the Book of Enoch.

Yeah, that supposedly all-powerful and all-benevolent God keeps creating people in places where they'll never hear of her. Too bad for them, right?
The Calvinist answer is that those people don't deserve heaven, since God damned them before they were born. Isn't that a bit racist?
The whole idea of hell is stupid.

That's to say people follow the same beliefs as you.
ie, not all people believe in heaven - therefore, no, it's not sad at all.
Respect all religions and beliefs... and don't assume everyone should be following yours.
