Apparently the christians beleive that since they didn't accept christ and god who they have never heard of they all go to hell. I'm feeling sorry for those damn pigmy tribes in south america that have never seen a christian and are gonna die and wake up in a lake of fire staring at a horned red dude with a pitchfork. But they wont be alone they will be with all the native americans that died before the christians came over killed them and took thier lands. they will also be with all the greeks and romans that never "seen christ". They can kick back with the vikings, some eskimos, and the aborigninees from austraila. Poor souls god just wasn't fair to the people that did't have murdering self-righteous christians to spread the word amongst them. Oh and least we not forget the myans and inca's that died before the conquistadors came over killed them and took all thier gold and lands. Nothing like those christians that spread the word of god and gods love amongst the tribal people of other lands. Too bad they didn't get there at the beginning of time they may have saved them. Why do christians deny thier own history and profess thier love of all mankind?

My dear friend, christianity is not the one and only religion or religious belief that exist in the world. Compared to other religions, christianity and islam is very new to the world. There are several concepts for the soul. What is it, what is its importance, etc.
Personally I'll say that science will one day be able to explore in this matter, and the so called religious blind believers will jump on the scientists again, as is the tradition.

A number of things. They reincarnate 999 times. Or end up in
hell-like dimensions. Which by the way, brings me to the point
that hell is not eternal. Revelation says God will get the ones
who failed out of hell at some point.
They will be JUDGED, and that doesn't always mean
punishment. Then hell and death will be destroyed. But who
knows when that will be. I had an experience where I felt
I was in such a reality. And I was trying to move through
fatty, meat. It wasn't a pleasant experience.

All persons are born with the Natural Law written on their souls and so we all have a sense of what is right and wrong. And so God expects us to follow what our conscience dictates. Now a person who has never known Chritianity can attain Heaven if they follow their concience and strive to lead a life according to the Natural Law. If a person is born into a nonChristian religion they can attain Heaven by closely following the dictates of their religion as long as this religion does not contradict the Natural Law that is in our hearts. We are not judged by what we know, but by how well we listen to what our good conscience dictates.

I think we can trust that God is good and just and merciful
Someone who did not have the gospel of Jesus would not be judged for rejecting something they didnt know
They can be judged for other thing, like rejecting the Father seen in creation. But God can judge them by their own standards and standards He knows they by concience would have and He will judge rightly
God can also reveal His mercies to someone many ways and I think everyone who will be saved is saved thorugh the work of Jesus on the cross, but as in the case of the old testament saints they didnt exactly know it or how, so ther emight be people leaning on the mercies of God who are redeemed through the cross... So for someone who never heard in another time and place.. it may be that the Father found ways to show his mercy to them ... but this is not the norm
Where those who never heard do or not, It is best in the end to trust what is revealed and not was we hope might be and we have opportunity to glorify God leaning on the work of Jesus on the cross

Revelation 20;11-15 And I saw a great white throne and the one seated on it. From before him the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. (The old heaven/governments and old earth/people under their rule) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.
And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Hades/Hell/Sheol were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire. Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire.
John 5:28, 29 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...(Jesus said)
Praise Jehovah the God of the Universe!!
Hail earth's new King of the Universe..Jesus!!
Welcome, his wife the Queen of the Universe!!

God has made provision in his plan to save ALL that have ever lived.
Read about the "Great white throne judgement" in Revelation. It says the sea (symbolic for the peoples of this world) gave up its dead and they all stood before Jesus. All people will be resurrected to life and given a chance to accept Christ.

All people are accountable to God whether they have “heard about Him” or not. The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). Apart from God's grace, God would give us over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. This He does for those who reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).
In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle: everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.
The problem is, “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own heart, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.
Instead of debating the fate of those who have never heard, we, as Christians, should be doing our best to make sure that they hear. We are called to spread the Gospel throughout the nations (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). The fact that we know people reject the knowledge of God revealed in nature must motivate us to proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Only through accepting the Gospel of God’s grace through the Lord Jesus Christ can people be saved from their sins and rescued from an eternity apart from God in hell.
If we assume that those who never hear the Gospel are granted mercy from God, we will run into a terrible problem. If people who never hear the Gospel are saved…we should make sure that no one ever hears the Gospel. The worst thing we could do would be share the Gospel with a person and have him or her reject it. If that were to happen, he or she would be condemned. People who do not hear the Gospel must be condemned, or else there is no motive for evangelism. Why run the risk of people possibly rejecting the Gospel and condemning themselves – when they were previously saved because they had never heard the Gospel?
