in John 3:16 it said that the only way to go to heaven is in Jesus....
so what if the person death before Jesus born? and think abaout people in deep forest in Africa... do they know Jesus? Who the hell can tell them about Jesus... how can they believe in Jesus if there's no one telling them? Are they must go to hell after they dead? I think it just not fair...

John 3:16 says, God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. OK I see nothing in this verse about going to heaven. It just states that you will have ever lasting life. And if you don't believe in Jesus then you will PERISH. Not go to a eternal punishment in hell, but you will perish.
All the people that knew nothing of Jesus or our heavenly Father will have the chance to accept or reject. What do you think the 1000 year reign is all about? Why is Satan going to be let loose for a short time again? Everyone will have the chance. God is fair and just.

I am a christian and also I'm from those deep forest in Africa and i know about God and Jesus. I'm not saved but i know everything there is to know for you to be saved. And by the way if you think Africa is the way behind I'm sorry to disappoint you but we are 100% enlightened. We don't have to live in us or wherever to know what goes on and get enlightened we are doing very much better where we are.
May God forgive you.

thank God its an african answering this question,people just have this mentality about africa being so not enlightened but over here there are many churches and people believe a lot in God,and yes the only way to get to heaven is by believing in God and accepting him as our personal lord and saviour,i feel God cannot be so unfair so he'll make sure everyone has at least heard of him and will have an opportunity to surrender unto him

There is provision for all who died prior to knowing Christ.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Can't be totally true. GOD told Moses the Jews or Hebrews were the Chosen Ones.
Peter and Paul also agreed with that.
Revelations says anyone. I repeat ANYONE, with the MARK OF THE BEAST doesn't stay and goes back outside. I don't care how CHRISTIAN you claim to be. You got the mark, you are out!
And THAT is the FINAL chapter of the Bible.

End

obviously you've never read the old or the new covenants. before jesus was born the only way to get to heaven was to live by faith in God within his law [judaism], when a righteous jew died they would go to abraham's bosom. once jesus was crucified he became the new covenant and the only way to heaven is by faith in him because his blood os the only thing that can remove sin, once you're born again and are living by faith, if you die you go directly to heaven. when jesus died he went to abraham's bosom and took the righteous jews to heaven. now the new covenant is in christ, and we are told it is a permanent or everlasting covenant

I am sure God will have a way for them but generaly unless you have accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour you will go to hell.

Any religion that claims to be the only way to God is a lie.
