What about all the Christian missionaries doing their damnest to get to them and convert them? Only there's that whole language barrier/cultural thing so the missionaries usually wind up confusing the indigenous tribes.
Why do the missionaries want to covert the indigenous people?
Because of Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
There's also the naive christian belief that once you hear the 'word of God,' (their version, of course) you cannot help but believe and be saved, which is so much better than leaving it up to God's judgement.

In reality the bible makes mention of those that never hear the Gospel. It plainly says that everyone will not be saved. So to hear the Gospel and reject it like you have is especially sad. It means that despite having the knowledge of Christ Jesus, you will go to hell just like the lost tribes. when The choice is yours and you are too proud to admit that you need a savior. If you would notice, most people worship something. The reason being, we are all born with the knowledge that something greater thatn ourselves is needed to guide us. Some people worship jobs, money, family etc. but we are all searching. Christ is a choice, you don't have to love Him, but ask yourself, "why do I hate Him?"

There are two schools of thought on that one among christians.
One says that there is no excuse for not knowing and obeying god's law and therefore anyone that doesn't is doomed to torment and eternal damnation in hellfire.
The other side claims that becasue these people have never been told that they cannot be held accoutable for their actions and are therefore inocent because they do not know that they sin.
My personal take on it is that since they already have their own set of beliefs then that is what governs what happens to them and what any of the rest of the world may ahve to say is meaningless anyway.

Are you that stupid that you would believe that the determination of a Soul's Damnation or Grace is based upon the words of one man.Do you really think a loving God would do that to His own creations, His own children. What father does that
Many of these people are more God fairing than those that sit in churches.
These people learn to live in harmony with life and thank God in their own way. Life is precious to them it can be taken away at any moment.They laugh, sing and dance without inhibition .They know more about sacrifice than many of us will ever know. Wouldn't it be something to find that these people are perhaps closer to the principles of God because they live it whilst many of those to have heard the words of the Great teachers only repeat them

since those who died b4 Jesus walked the earth I am certain there has been a plan made for such as these, but what is important is why do you think people will be offended if you reject Jesus. Those who do are just people who have been deluded by some person who started a teaching used to fill his church. there is no scripture directing people to perter you if you are not interested. God is not after people who do not want to be His friend.

They can look out in nature and know that there is a Creator. God will make himself known to each of them at some point. Granted we probably have more opportunities here, but that doesn't mean that they have no chance whatsoever.

No and no, my friend. If we never hear and never know (or are of an age or mental capacity of understanding, for that matter), we are not held in fault, at all. If we hear about and reject God, different story!

Read Romans 1 which speaks about that and also see the book below. It has helped me answer the question you asked.

Per Christianity, those who never are told won't be doomed to hell.
(So one can conclude that Christians would do everybody a favor if they just stopped evangelizing to us non-Christians.)

According to the Christians, they're doomed.
