Some tribes in Africa and South America are so remote that they have barely seen other humans. Does Jesus refuse there way into heaven because they have never even heard of him??

you can not expect a rational answer for your question which is completely irrational. if you believe in Christianity and the preachings of Jesus and you think it as a religion of compassion, Jesus would not refuse people who never heard of him. if you are a non believer, there is no need to ask this question because you don't believe in the existence of god. if your religion is not Christianity, you would not recognize Jesus as son of god.

Christian missionaries are all over the world, including remote tribes in Africa and South America. The Word of the Lord is being spread through their love and compassion. God provides opportunities for us to seek His presence.

The Bible speaks of a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. Obviously those who have never learned about God cannot be responsible for acting in a righteous or God fearing way so these people are the ones the Bible speaks of when it talks about the unrighteous being resurrected. But, it is talking about the second resurrection where they will be resurrected to earth and not the first resurrection where those who were resurrected went to heaven. It is all good, however, because everlasting life with God in control and Jesus as king is good wherever it happens.

Jesus doesn't accept anybody into heaven.
Please have a peak at Psalm 115:16 and Psalm 37:29.
Or Proverbs 2:21,22 for that matter.
Its all about the earth!
A reformed, transformed, informed EARTH.

I don't have a bible quote but I'll quote Samuel Jackson.
"Yes they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell."
I guess I won't be getting "Best Answer"
Jesus said to spread his word to all the remote corners of the earth. If they go to hell it's your fault for sitting at the computer when you should be out evangelizing.
The rapture can't happen untill you tell them about Jesus.

The Lord's arm is not too short to save.
Leading a spritual life involves belief in God and living a good life.
FAQ: Is Swedenborg a Universalist?
Swedenborg speaks of universal principles of religion from a Christian standpoint but the term "Universalist" has come to refer to a set of beliefs that are distinctly not part of Swedenborg's doctrine/theology. Some of the universals of religion are as follows:
"That God is one, and that there is a conjunction of charity and faith" (Soul and Body n. 20).
Also, "This only One and very Self is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. This also every Christian acknowledges from his doctrine and every gentile from his religion. In consequence, wherever he is, a man thinks that God is there and that he prays to God at hand; thinking and praying so, men cannot but think that God is everywhere, that is, omnipresent [in all places at all times]; likewise omniscient [all knowing] and omnipotent [all powerful]. Everyone praying to God, therefore, implores Him from the heart to lead him because He can lead him; thus he acknowledges the divine omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence, doing so in turning his face to the Lord; thereupon the truth flows in from the Lord" (Divine Providence n. 157).
Also, "There are three essentials of the church: acknowledgment of the divine of the Lord, acknowledgment of the holiness of the Word [Bible], and the life which is called charity" (Divine Providence n. 259[3]).
Also, "Every man [or woman] can be saved, and those are saved who acknowledge God and live rightly" (Divine Providence n. 325).

when god created us he created us with the need for a companion. even though you can find a sort of conpanionship with the opisite sex you will still desire more. that desire is somthing that is in all of us. why do you think that when cristians go to those remote tribes some of them have handed down "profecies" of a white man coming to show them the way.

Jesus is only one man. If he were still alive, he would not have the time to judge every person who dies each day, so forget the premise. It is impossible. Anyway, if there is a Heaven where dying people go, every dying person goes there, regardless of anything that they did on earth. Don't let fanatics and their views confuse you.

I do not know what happens to people who never hear the gospel message. The only scripture I can think of is this: "all of creation speaks of the existence of God, that no man has excuse". That tells me there is no excuse for not believing in God. But in Jesus....if they have not been told of Him, honestly, I don't know.

I asked my friend... ugh... i mean some crazy lady... this question
She said that once in everyone's life they're given a chance to accept God.
I think she's full of crap but whtever.
I think that accepting into heaven depends on how oyu lead your life... not if u believe.
