What, in your opinion, will happen to people who have never heard of Jesus Christ and die daily in the remotest parts of the world? Since salvation is ONLY possible through Christ, will everyone end up in hell that doesn't know Him?

I don't know exactly how that works, but I trust God because He is fair and just. He will do what is right. Yeah!

Heathens are not the ignorant. Those that have died will have another chance in the not-too-distant future to abide by the will of God (or not) and then a decision will be made. Those of us that actually research and read already know that the resurrection is not some myth that may or may not happen. The salvation spoken of is not some immortal "soul" frittering off to heaven or hell, but is an actual HUMAN destined to live forever right here on a perfect Earth as was originally intended.

I may be completely out in left field here, but I think I remember hearing or reading years ago that when we're all raised from the dead for the day of judgement that they will hear the gospel then and be able to choose. I could be so, so wrong here. I don't have a scripture to back that up and I usually don't answer something if I don't. I just have this idea running around in my head that I read this before. So, maybe someone else has read this and remembers where it is? I would be interested in knowing that also.

You got it! It is an unfortunate thing, but God knows who will be saved and who will not. He knows the whole story, we don't. Even though the Bible gives us a good part of His plan, there is still so much more than we cannot see. And it is inevitable that not everyone will go to Heaven, and it is also inevitable that not everyone will go to hell. :)

A God of justice is exactly that...just
I believe that a seeker of truth would be rewarded by a just god............and that A Just god would provide a pathway for such a one to contact truth......
Have many missionary friends....some in very remote parts of the globe.....ie..new guinea.....etc......and have heard a handful of stories of people who found them and received their message after direction from an inner urging.....
The character of God is the issue here, not theological gymnastics...the character that my God has displayed to me let's me rest that He has it covered

Great question! According to the teaching in the bible, yes. But honestly if God is good and he is love, how can that be, right? Well, that's when you have to also question what about before jesus....did all of them also perish? Does that make sense? Nope. The bible doesn't make sense in many ways, and you have to question why you even believe what it says. Because someone told you it's the truth? Because the bible says that the bible itself is true? Hey I could write anything down that wouldn't make sense and anyone afterwards could say its true. dont follow man's religion. make your own decisions. I dont believe that if god is as the bible says, would just discard human life...

most if not all people of the world have some religious belief of another and some choose not to believe.
Christianity is not the only religion in the world.
when your God says that Salvation of possible only through me it means that if you choose to go to his heaven and you want to go to his heaven that you must accept him as part of your life.
the people that die in the remote corners of the world already have a religion and more than likely they are not worried about hell. most indigenous and pagan people do not even believe in a hell. therefore we do not need your salvation.

I beleive the christian religion is the biggest lie to mankind. while every single religion but christianity and islam believe in many ways to God christianity and islam believe in exclusivism, you either believe as they do or go to hell, for the record Jesus never wanted a religion made for him, that was Paul and John's idea. I dont understand why christians hold Paul and John in equal reverence to Jesus, they were con artists and liars.

Everyone, no matter what they know or do, are either saved or not saved. Pretending that believers go to Heaven is just manipulating people and getting them to behave for selfish reasons. Good people are good because it is right, not for some superstitious gobble-de-g-o-o-k.

No, in the bible it states that they have to know of him, it's not their fault that they didn't have the chance to learn of him. as long as they accept him when they meet him they will be saved.
