Question

Answer 1

no one knows until you get there

Answer 2

Excellent question. I believe God takes into account what the person knows about truth as it is in Jesus, His Son. Perhaps many will be granted eternal life who've never heard the precious name of Jesus...they simply lived their lives the best they could in light of right and wrong. Make sense? That being said, I feel privileged to belong to one of the only churches in the world that make a full-fledged effort to reach such individuals. We're the Seventh-Day Adventists and we're only outdone by one other church for word missions: Roman Catholics. Check out our overseas missions website!

Answer 3

Is anything to hard for God? He can get the Gospel message to whomever He chooses, using whatever means necessary. There are millions right here in America who have not heard the Gospel. How do you know they haven't heard and simply rejected it? If you want to see a powerful movie about God reaching out to remote people, see "End of the Spear".

Answer 4

Good question and one I have wondered about, but if I understand the Bible correctly, I don't think they will go to hell. That is why there are missionaries to spread the word of God. But, if someone honestly doesn't know about Christ or sin, then how could they be held accountable for their sins. It's the knowing and choice we make, that makes us or breaks us, I believe. But, in the end it is Gods choice, not ours. God Bless!!

Answer 5

They live a good and full life and G-d takes them '' under his wing''. I do not, as you put it ''know Christ''. I do not believe that Christianity is the true religion. G-d is One. I was raised a Christian, and came realize Christianity does not honor the concept of G-d is G-d. G-d is One, there is no G-d but G-d.

Answer 6

They probably get on with their lives, are more fulfilled and less likely to either die from aids (catholics in Africa, PNG etc.) and less likely to be involved with religious conflict.
They are probably more intelligent than their christian counterparts and more likely to accept scientific theories rather than mythology.
Religion is measured in timeframes of thousands of years, science can go back hundreds of millions.
religion is just a set of moral guidelines for the feeble.

Answer 7

They enjoy the weather, get up late, relax, have breakfast with the family, do a little farming and hunting, take the family to visit relatives where they celebrate birthdays. At home, after bed time, mom and dad get a little, have more kids. Then someone dies and they have a funeral and get up the next day late, relax, have breakfast with the family.

Answer 8

The same thing as if you know him, either you get buried or burned and if your body gets dumped into the water...then you might get eaten by swimming creatures.

There is a God and is the same one that was even before Christ.

Answer 9

Nothing, of course. Do you know all the gods in different religious? Who says that one must know Christ in order to have a "better" afterlife?

Answer 10

Here is what will happen

All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God;

The Lord, will judge all men according according to the desire of their hearts.

Answer 11

If they're good, they all go to Heaven and sit through a 3-hour orientation and Q & A with Jesus, to keep them current. Many stay for the free pizza.
