so according to the Christian philosophy that says if you know about Jesus and do not accept him you are going to go to hell the following people are burring in hell right now.
Naturally I do not know if any of these people accepted Christianity but I am assuming the vast majority did not.
937,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda
2,000,000 Buddhists, secularists and others in Cambodia
6,000,000 Jews in the Holocaust
10,000 Kurds in Iraq
180,000 Albanians in Yugoslavia
1,000,000+ North Korea
So are these people burning in hell if they were not Christian? This all happened in the past century and some in Christian nations. Its not like they did not know about Jesus.

You can't find one scripture that states the Messiah was a Christian, or He was the founder of Christianity. The prophecies of the coming messiah, mention nothing about him starting a new religion. He came to set his people Israel back on the right track. The title, "Christian" is mention in the bible only three times, not once does the most high use the phrase "MY PEOPLE CHRISTIANS OR CHRISTIANS ARE MY PEOPLE". There is no connection between the Most High, Christian Doctrine, Lifestyle or Worship throughout the entire bible. Please don't twist the writings of Peter or Paul to make an argument for this religion, it doesn't hold up.
You've been told in order to get salvation or be "saved" , you have to be a Christian Or only Christians will be saved. If this is true, then what you are believing and/or saying is this:
ABRAHAM WHO IS CALLED A FRIEND OF THE MOST HIGH WON'T GET SALVATION BECAUSE HE WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN. (Isaiah 41:8) - But thou, Israel are my servants, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend
MOSES WHO WAS A GREAT SERVANT OF THE MOST HIGH WON'T GET SALVATION BECAUSE HE WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN. (Deuteronomy 34:10) -And There arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom Yah knew face to face
KING DAVID WHO WAS A MAN AFTER THE CREATOR'S OWN HEART WON'T GET SALVATION BECAUSE HE WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN. (Acts 13:22) - .........I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
LETS GO ONE STEP DEEPER.
YAHOSHUA THE MESSIAH WHOM YOU ERRONEOUSLY KNOW AS JESUS THE CHRIST WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN, SO THIS MEANS ACCORDING TO CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE EVEN HE WON'T GET SALVATION.
(Matthew 15:24) - But he answered and said I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel
Ask yourself this very important question , if Christianity was the true faith of the creator which our very salvation depends on, WHY DIDN'T THE MOST HIGH GIVE CHRISTIANITY TO ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTION GREAT MEN? WHY DIDN'T HE TELL HIS PEOPLE, ISRAEL ABOUT CHRISTIANITY AT MT. SINAI? IF CHRISTIANITY IS SO IMPORTANT, WHY IS IT MENTION ONLY THREE TIMES THROUGH THE ENTIRE BIBLE? NEVER ONCE BY THE MESSIAH OR CREATOR?.

You're going to get plenty of answers saying something like "how sad for them, but yes, they are in hell if they haven't accepted Jesus as their savior!" And Jeboshea is correct. Jews, and Buddhists, do not believe in the Christian concept of hell.

Christianity is not a monolith, thus not all Christians would believe that non-Christians go to hell. This is good news even for me. It is true that most modern Judaism does not accept a hell. However, we are called to believe in a merciful G-d and must leave such maters to the Master of the Universe.

I'm not sure if they are in Hell now... or if they will go there after the resurrection...
I also believe that some people that go to Hell will eventually end up in Heaven... after the Final resurrection...
I believe that the only people who will spend Eternity in Hell are those who KNOW Jesus and the Holy Spirit and yet they deny them...
Any of this is only MY interpretations of some stuff and some of it is partially attested to me by the Holy Spirit when I pray about it...
But I am not done with my research and pondering so I have not prayed about it all yet.

You are going to get a lot of answers that say yes. Just remember Jews don't believe in that specific Hell

yeah I guess we should all join Jan Crouch's Trinity Broadcasting family and give all our money to her so she can put in a good, sincere word about the quality of our salvation.
If you want to believe in a control freak who makes his beloved children burn, go ahead. If you did something wrong, would you expect that your earthly father would set you on fire? And the way some believers twist the bible verses to suit their lifestyles and deliberately ignore Biblical commandments, hell might be more crowded than one can possibly imagine.

According to Christianity, yes. Every single one are frying. See, supposedly God is just so he judges non-Christians by their own merits. The catch is that without kissing God's rin, no human alive or dead HAS any merits. The Christian model of humanity is of a corrupt, sinful, dispicable wretch of a creature by default. I've had this argument before: No metter what good works a person does, if they don't "accept Jesus" they fry. Permanantly.
Sounds real compassionate and just, don't it? Chrisitanity has one of the most misanthropic preconceptions of humanity I've heard of.

In the Holy Bible, it tells how many hundreds of thousands, that will get into Heaven. We don't know and only God knows. We can't judge. But if assume that the fires in hell, will burn high, hot and full of carnage. Millions will be burning in hell and only God knows. satan , will be very busy, stoking the furnace, There will be screaming and horrible cries and it will not cease. So the answer to your question. Is we don't know. Do we ???

God will judge others according to how much they have received the Gospel for instance a person in a random island would get judged less harsh and possibly on if he has lived an honest life where as the son of a priest would get judged harsher as he has rejected God.
