There are still civilizations on earth who have not heard of a bible or Jesus is it off to hell for them?

Question

This simple questions means believing in Jesus as the way to heaven is mistaken. It is behaving like Jesus no matter who or what you believe is the ticket to enter heaven...

Answer 1

Hate to break your balloon but, we are already in "hell".
Look at it this way....maybe in a past life, we did something
wrong and now must go back (reincarnate) to earth to
live life again until we get it right. If you make alot of mistakes
here, you will have to come back and try again in another
life.

Answer 2

Well only God really knows the answer to the questions. It's not worth trying to debate it or answer it, because we are only human and don't have full knowledge of what God has decided on every subject. Behaving like Jesus will get you to heaven if you believe in him. But as for those who have not yet heard about him, I can't say.

Answer 3

No It does say in the Bible that the end times will not happen until every man has had the chance to hear the word of God. There are alot of missionaries in places you might not believe. With all the satelite channels and all the missionaries I believe it is close to the time of all knowing. I know oour church sponsors missionaries In India, Papau New Guinea and other places and the word is spreading fast even though there is danger for those who want believe.

Answer 4

If you have never heard the name Jesus, as some remote parts of the world may not have, I think there is hope for them. But if you have heard the message of salvation, you have to choose. it is said in the bible (Not sure what verse or book, or if this is the exact phrasing) "it would be better to never have heard the gospel than to have heard and not accept." (something like that). I am only a Christian, not a Bible scholar though.

Answer 5

Yes. The Bible says "Jesus is the way, the truth & the life. No man will enter Heaven but by me". The biggest challenge facing Christiandom is to get to those who haven't heard of him or the Bible & the Bible again mentions that '...their blood(those who haven't heard) will be required of you (Christians) if you haven't taken up the challenge of spreading the Gospel to them.

Answer 6

Jesus is fair to all. He assigned some people to go there and preach. The end of the world will not accur untill they are reached by His words. God is so good Johnny, He loves those people as He loves you. I have something to share with you, it's a lyrics from a beautiful song.

God is too wise to be uncertain
God is too good to be unkind
So if you don't understand
If you can't see His plans
If you can't reach His hand
Trust His heart

Answer 7

I believe everyone goes to the same place no matter what your favorite fairy tale is. It's kind of silly actually. If I pray, have a thought in my head about jesus, then I get to go to heaven! Oh boy. That is a bit far fetched, don't you think?

Answer 8

Jesus said the gospel would be preach to every nation before the end comes (Matthew 24:14). So I think everybody will have the chance to believe or not. Believing in Jesus is important as well as being like Jesus. Because just "believing" does not save anyone, because the Bible says that even demons believe. In other words, just recognizing that Jesus is real is not enough, because even Satan knows very well that Jesus exists. When the Bible says "believing" is going beyond than just recognizing the existence of God. We must obey HIm. Believing in Jesus means that we accept He took our place by paying the penalty sin required: death, and has offered us His righteousness. We accept His gift of salvation by faith that salvation is by grace; we don't deserve it, and yet God has chosen to give it to us by free because He loves us. All we have to do is to accept, and salvation is ours thanks to the righteousness of Jesus.

"Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His. "With His stripes we are healed." (Desire of Ages 25.2)

The Bible says, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13); "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." (verse 15).
Once we understand what God has done for us, and what such a great gift He's given us, and just because no one would ever loves us as He does; then, inspired by the Holy Spirit, we'll naturally want to love Him back in the same way, and obey Him, because --after all-- all He wants is our happiness and security. That's why the Bible says that faith without works is dead. It is impossible to love God without wanting to do something for Him. Jesus said that if we love Him, we shall keep His commandments; not to be saved, but to thank Him for everything He's done --and will do-- for us. It's not easy if we do it by ourselves, however; Jesus needs to help us in order to be like Him. Our goal will be, then, to be like Jesus; just as perfect as He is. "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48).

Answer 9

I find it hard to believe that people have not heard of this. After all, preachers are on TV begging for money all the time. There is no shortage of fanatics!

Answer 10

The “Last Great Day,” represents the time when those who have never had the knowledge to understand salvation will be resurrected and be given that chance. Only then will God’s initial plan for mankind be at an end. Thus, this last great day of God pictures the greatest period of salvation for mankind—the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15).

In the book of Leviticus we are told to observe the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days and it is a commanded assembly. On the first of the seven days no work is to be done (Leviticus 23:34-35). Carefully notice in verse thirty-six there is an “eighth day” of worship held immediately after the seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Because this eighth day came on the heels of the Feast of Tabernacles, people who came to keep the Feast remained to keep the eighth day also and it became associated with the Feast.

In the New Testament it is called “The Great Day of the Feast” (John 7:37). There must be thirst if there is to be a desire to drink. If the condition is right, the desire will follow. This is the same truth Jesus expressed to the Samaritan woman (John 4:14). Jesus also taught that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness would be satisfied (Matthew 5:6).

Jesus also spoke of the final resurrection in connection with the “Last Great Day.” Compare John 11:23-26 with John 6:39, 40, 44.

Jesus used the term “living water” in (John 4:10) to indicate eternal life. Jesus’ words, “Come unto me, and drink” allude to the theme of many Scriptures that speak about the Messiah’s life giving blessings (Isaiah 12:2, 3; 44:3, 4; 58:11). By promising the Holy Spirit to all who believe, Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah, for that was something only the Messiah could do.

White Throne Judgment
John tells us that after the final rebellion and punishment of Satan he saw a Great White throne. And standing before the throne was a great vast multitude of resurrected dead made up of those who never participated in God’s plan or understood the message of Jesus. Many millions of infants have unknowingly awaited this second resurrection from their graves.

Jesus tells us that Tyre, Sidon and Sodom also had not received the witness of the gospel (Matthew 11:21-27). But a time of judgment was coming when they would be given the opportunity to understand what He preached to Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum.

Besides these people mentioned, the people of Nineveh and the Queen of the south, Sheba, would hear His good news message (Matthew 12:41-42).

The people of Palestine together with the people and nations of all past ages will be given their first opportunity to understand the gospel (Ezekiel 37:1-10).

These resurrected billions will be raised and given human bodies that breath air and are made of flesh and bone (Ezekiel 37:5-9).

These resurrected people are promised they will know the Lord and He is the one that will put His Spirit within them. He will also put them in their own land and they shall know it is the Lord God who did this for them (Ezekiel 37:13-14). This is the same outpouring of the Spirit Jesus spoke about on the Last Great Day of the Feast (John 7:37-39).

Jesus and the Saints Judge
The Scriptures make it clear Jesus Christ will be the Chief Judge in the Last Great Judgment (Revelation 20:11; Daniel 7:9 compared with Psalms 9:7) and the Saints will judge with Him, (1 Corinthians 6:2). It is confirmed by Peter that Jesus is the judge of both the living and the dead (Acts 10:40-42). Jesus Himself also confirmed this fact (John 5:22).

Daniel saw God judging millions of people as they stood before Him (Daniel 7:10).

Isaiah envisioned for us the final days of the judging of the resurrected billions of people at the end of the Millennium. During much of the world’s past history, half of the babies born died within the first year after birth. But, during the judgment period after the Millennium, no babies will die and old people will not die prematurely.

For someone to die at one hundred years of age will be like a baby dying today. Habitual sinners will still be present, but by the time they reach a century in age they will be declared “cursed” (Isaiah 65:20).

These resurrected multitudes are counted among God’s elect, are made participants in His plan and given candidacy for the Kingdom of God after they receive His Spirit. They will have a close and intimate relationship with Him (Isaiah 65:20-23).

These multitudes at the end of the Millennium in this Last Great Judgment period will be given One Hundred years to show by their works their willingness to follow God’s Spirit, submitting to His divine direction (Isaiah 65:20).
God will be patient, but by the time they reach the age of one hundred they will be declared “cursed.” This means death. “Those He proclaims “cursed” will be cut off” (Psalms 37:22). And death and hell will be cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death (Revelation 20:14).
