And if they don't go to Hell then doesn't that prove whether or not we go to Hell is left up to chance?

Good question. I've wondered that for years.

How could have any people who don't hear about Christianity after its 2000 years of active teaching? And now, more than 1 billion Christians are still actively teaching, even some people up here get angry why they meet so many preachers.
Yes, each man can use any pretexts to ignore religion, to ignore the divine truth, to ignore the One True God. But, the believers don't get disappointed, because they realize that God sees all, knows all and He doesn't treat any man with injustice.
Finally, man will return to dust, then the non-believers will turn into another evolution cycle.
But the believers realize that God exists, so they must make greatest preparations to thankfully return to Him in the spiritual world.

There will be people in Heaven who never heard of Christ. It will be because they live the life of Christ by following the law written within their heart. We are all born with it, but we choose to ignore it until we become reprobate. The ones that have heard of Christ and yet continue to live in sin are without excuse, and therefore will go to the place called Hell. Hell is the grave. Death is the end thereof. There is no eternal torture. You can only be burned up once. God won't keep dragging you back to life to burn over and over again. That would be evil in and of itself. God is compassionate. If you don't want to live, He will not force you to.

It is hard for me to believe that there are still people in the world who haven't heard God's Plan of Salvation. With all our advanced technologies and ability to broadcast God's Word all over the world,not to mention the hundreds,perhaps thousands,of missionaries throughout the world,it seems improbable,but certainly possible. If that should be the case, I believe those people would be held accountable for their deeds,good or bad, while here on Earth. After all, everyone knows,or should know,right from wrong.
Those who have heard God's Plan of Salvation and reject it are without excuse.

If one has never had an opportunity to hear the Gospel then one does not go to hell. It is only when you have heard the Word and still do not believe that you go to hell!!
Cheers!

There is nobody that walks the face of the Earth that has never heard of Christianity.... Unless there a small child and do not understand... Which in that case doesn't matter because there bound for Glory anyways.... But for adults that are in the right mind frame, meaning not mentally challenged or sick with some illness that makes them incapable of understanding has heard of the Bible, and has heard about God in some way or form.... There is not a nation, a country, state, town or city where Christianity is not talked about in some form or another... The Bible tells us that, all have heard and all have come short of the Glory of God...... And there is not a chance that anything will save anyone from hell, the only way to avoid hell is threw Jesus Christ, and we will never know Jesus unless we know his Father God....

They will not go to Hell if they have not heard the Gospel to reject it. They will be judged on what they did during life, St. Faustina said that a time of Mercy will be offered all people so maybe it is that these people will be given a chance to accept the Gospel within the few seconds of death and eternal death who knows but, they are a law unto themselves Jesus says.

That's not why people go to hell.
No know really knows if hell is real or not. But there is only one way to find out.

i actually know the answer to this question!
its not just like, "ok sucks for you" if you have never heard of religion or had a chance to become religious. in a case like this, you are judged by how good of a person you are.

Because it would not be fair to all those that sent in a monthly pledge to the 700 Club....
It's all their fault for not hearing of Christianity - just like all the aborted babies - they are to burn in hell
