they have their own religion and beliefs...or should i say we, because i practice native American spirituality.
they, and we never needed people to come burn our sacred lodges and to force their brand of religion on us.
the puritans were lucky that they did not land in blackfoot terratory, they would never have been heard from again.

From what I understand the "good news" is Christianity. Christianity is a religion not a belief in God. The "indians" were spiritual people and if they worshipped a spirit who they thought was supreme would that not be God? Just because we can't find a record that says the indians worshipped the Christian Almighty God does not mean they did not worship God and so, if they did they would be in Heaven without hearing the "good news."

Heaven is a place of timelessness, so regardless of what era one lives in.......they are still given the opportunity for redemption.
I am of Native American heritage......is "spearchucker" a derogatory term?

I didn't receive until 1994, so I think Native Americans will have the opportunity to enter just like myself. I agree with C2dak1, everyone will have the chance to have the gospel preached to them.

In my opinion, which doesn't really count, is that those who are not given the oppurtunity to know Christ will be given that oppurtunity when they die. There are so many people even today that have never been introduced to the Gospel and God is a merciful God, I believe that if we are on our death bed and we've never known Him He comes to us right then and asks us to believe.

There is no heaven or hell. They have all become part of the earth or passed their matter to other forms of life. That is that.

Ignorance is only ignorance, not bliss.
Anyone of any era who responds to God will be there.
