If we found a remote tribe in the Amazon jungle, would they know about Jesus.
If not does that mean they will go to hell through no fault of their own.

The bible says the Word will be preached to all corners of the world. Let's say someone in some remote Amazon jungle died without ever hearing the Words of God. What law would he be under? He doesn't know what God's commandments are. He doesn't know who Jesus is. The fact that he has never heard of God or His laws, I believe , means he is innocent. Not sinless, but innocent of what he hasn't been told about.

You could say, if you believe in God, that He gave us all a conscience. We know what is morally right or wrong because we have a conscience. You could also say that God has the power to show that person His truth, however, remote the person may be from society. We also know that God alone has the power to forgive sins, whether that sin is committed unknowingly or not. He is a merciful God.

However God chooses to deal with the situation, there is one thing for certain, it will be just. God is fair and loving and He is all-knowing and merciful. It is indeed a much different circumstance than someone who has heard the Word of God and yet still rejects it. That remote tribe is far better off not knowing anything about God, then someone that does know and refuses Him, nonetheless. The former is innocent and in my opinion should be forgiven and thus will go to heaven, the latter is guilty and will most certainly go to hell. Because God is just and righteous. Sinning against God must be paid in one of two ways, by God Himself through the free gift of salvation, which is through faith in Jesus Christ or eternal torment in hell. One way or the other the debt will be paid.

Let's see, you said a remote tribe, in the amazons jungle, About all I can say is this, They have you there, can't you help them. Or maybe since so many believe in evolution, they also have those big apes & monkeys, & those slim pods coming out of the water, you know, the ones that forgot to evolve.

Jesus will make a way for Him to be known to those amazons. He knows what to do for He is a God after all. We cannot judge those people who do not recognize or know Jesus yet. Only God can judge.

God is capable of doing all things, righteous and just for His people. His mercy and unconditional LOVE is here on EARTH and the vast universe and whatever is out there so why worry? Instead of asking this kind of question, why not start sharing your own experience to people about God's Love, Mercy and providence?

I am Christian and this same question I have raised to myself. Upon seeking, I have found that, God will judge men according to what he knows. The more men know, much will be required. Those who put their beliefs in Jesus and lived with the Truth shall not be judged, because the spiritual cleansing has been done before. Those who follow the Law shall be judged by the Law. Those who has not reached by Gospel shall be judged according to what they know. But always remember men's way is not God's way.

this is a common question but since we do not know what can or can not happen after death we can not know. Some go to great length to make sure all have the opportunity to hear but that is only a precausionary step in case they must hear and make a decision b4 death. There is mentioned in one of the letters to the Corinthians a paragraph about being baptised for the dead who were not baptised b4 they died.

Your question is great. This is all related to the Christianity but according to Islam a Muslim has to invite others to Islam and for this the missionaries are doing a lot of hard work. God will ask every Muslim about the invitation of Islam.

Here's Johnny,
That's the thing. Everyone walks around here thinking that God owes them something, and He does not. He owes all men, who have ever lived NOTHING.

And then people also think that they will,
I don't know, 'survive the encounter' or try to believe 'that just can't be that way it isn't right' and out of anger reject God.

That's not too smart, but most people aren't getting in anyway.

GOD OWES YOU AND ME NOTHING.

I'm hoping that helps you figure it out.

The Catholic Church teaches that "those who through no fault of their own have not known of Jesus christ or His Church, but who have done their best to do the will of God as they understand it through the dictates of their conscience, these too may be saved". (This isn't an exact quote since I don't have the Catechism of the Catholic Church in front of me, but it's pretty close.)

The Trinity explains that. Have you ever noticed that tribes all over the world believe in a greater power. They believe in a God no matter what name they choose to give him.

Every man will know Jesus...before he comes back noone will not know,noone..God loves everyone of his children, just like you or I we love our children but you know as well as I do they rebel against you..Well, God has many children who rebel against him, that doesn't mean he don't love them, he would love for them to come back home all of them..We know that will not happen but he still has people out here in this world to tell of his goodness and love..If I sound like I am preaching it is only because conviction comes to mans heart and thats why they get angry at words that the Lord puts on my heart to say it is a a two egded sword his words cut like a knife in your heart because all men were cr4eated to know him but many rebel and reject him..
