There is little girl on some tiny island that is cut off from the rest of the world. Her village worships the Sun and Moon and the Earth. She has done nothing to hurt anyone. She is just living a life. Why can she not seek salvation in heaven? Just because of her religion?

Just because she doesn't know what the place is called, does not mean she will NOT go there. It's called Heaven to us, something else to someone else. (AGAIN: A rose by any other name is still a rose). AND: All paths of seeking lead to the same finish line. We are just to dumb to realize that

I believe that God sends his people to deliver his gospel message to every part of the Earth; even the most remote
parts. The bible mentions in Matthew 24:14: "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come". So people are given the chance to either accept Christ, or reject him, thereby sealing their own fate. And God doesn't just deliver the message once--he delivers it mant times, so that people have no excuse. So what(may you ask) would happen if the girl didn't speak any known language? God works in mysterious ways--that's all I can say. I've heard of Christian ministers who spoke only English, but (through the power of the Holy Spirit), have communicated to others in their native tongue. Of course, it really depends on how old the girl is in the first place. I don't think that small children go to hell.

Actually, God will give her a chance. Everyone has the option to have the knowledge of HIM and heaven- but they do not seek it. Just like people who believe in budda and such- they know that other people believe in God, but they choose not to believe. Those people probably have had some sort of contact with Americans that have told them of God... never think he is out of reach. As for the guy who wrote the answer before mine...I hope that when the revelation comes around you remember what you said and that you come around... other wise- I'll be sorry for you!

Now that's strange, because I don't remember seeing where God gave anyone else the right to say who may or who may not go to Heaven. No, not even Christians.
I do seem to recall reading somewhere that Heaven belongs to the children, though, and that, to get there, one must become as a little child.
I am a Christian. If God gives me the choice, she can come sit next to me. Heck, I like the kid already.

the SCRIPTURES INDICATE THAT..there IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN AND EARTH WITH WHICH YOU CAN BE SAVED.that NAME IS Jesus.Good WORKS ARE FINE BUT THEY DO NOT EARN YOU A TICKET TO HEAVEN..every KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT Jesus Christ is lord..God isn't looking for some good IL boys.He wants a people that are tried and true to rule the heavens with Him one day soon. You are smart to ask such a wonderful question..seek the one who Made the sun ,moon and earth.. He is excellent..bless you very much..on your quest.

She can go to heaven. God is most fully revealled through christianity, unlike other religions. But it doesn't mean their religions don't have valid points. Everyone else can still go to heaven, though.

Death i snot the end, God who created the heavens and th eearth is the ultimate judge, He will judge everyone of us according how we live regardless of our religion. There is not a single human who can decide who goes to heaven, God alone knows.

Because to go to Heaven, you hae to beleive in God. It'd be like a Christian going to what Muslims see as Heaven, under the rules of their God.

lol. THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE TRUTH! and im absolutely sure! only one way, through Jesus. Saying all religion goes to heaven is like saying there is more than one way to plug something into an outlet. (lol, odd metaphore) that doesn't mean she couldn't go. she could make any choice she wishes, just like you.

The same can be said for the millions of people who lived before christianity and judaism were invented.
