"If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"?

Answer 1

All people are accountable to God whether they have “heard about Him” or not. The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). Apart from God's grace, God would give us over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. This He does for those who reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).
In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle: everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.
The problem is, “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own heart, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.
Instead of debating the fate of those who have never heard, we, as Christians, should be doing our best to make sure that they hear. We are called to spread the Gospel throughout the nations (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). The fact that we know people reject the knowledge of God revealed in nature must motivate us to proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Only through accepting the Gospel of God’s grace through the Lord Jesus Christ can people be saved from their sins and rescued from an eternity apart from God in hell.
If we assume that those who never hear the Gospel are granted mercy from God, we will run into a terrible problem. If people who never hear the Gospel are saved…we should make sure that no one ever hears the Gospel. The worst thing we could do would be share the Gospel with a person and have him or her reject it. If that were to happen, he or she would be condemned. People who do not hear the Gospel must be condemned, or else there is no motive for evangelism. Why run the risk of people possibly rejecting the Gospel and condemning themselves – when they were previously saved because they had never heard the Gospel?

Answer 2

I agree with Incoherent fool. We are commanded to go forth and preach the gospel to the lost. Now if someone had no idea of sin or God or Jesus, and they were innocent out of ignorance, the Christian would be condemning their souls to hell, just by doing what they were told, if the person rejected the message. So it must be that all are guilty and need Christ as their savior.

Answer 3

Ignorance is not bliss; you are still held accountable for your actions or lack of them.
(Acts 17:30)  True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent.

Suppose you're driving on an unfamiliar road and make a huge wrong turn. As you realize your error a cop happens to be right there and pulls you over. You give the officer an explanation yet you still receive a ticket.
Why? Because of rules and regulation that need to be followed. Even though you don't understand them all or didn't mean to break them, they still exist and are to be obeyed.

We are all held responsible for the choices we make (whether we what to believe so or not).

Answer 4

If you do not know about God and Sin, how could you believe that there is hell ????

Answer 5

According to some CHristians yes. According to them.You will go to Heaven if you murder some one but repent to god ,while If you do good deeds, but don't worship God, you go to hell. So go ahead get your AKA and Send your friends to heaven and then repent.

PS. Despite what these fanatic say, God does know if you're not sincere about repenting. To truely worship God, you must follow Gods law, not just say you believe. Action speak louder than word, even in heaven. doing good deeds is letting God in your heart. Saying you love him and then do contrary to his wishes, is really rejecting him. Think of it this way, You tell your wife you love her and then cheat on her repeatedly. Do you really love her.

Answer 6

There is a law written in the hearts of men. If you lived in a far off country and did not know of Jesus and his teaching but lived a good life doing your best, I believe God would be just.

Answer 7

You really should read the book of Romans in the New Testament for yourself, but here's a small sampling:

Rom 1:18 ¶ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Answer 8

Like the Handicapped, Mental Illness?? They go to Heaven. There is no illness there. Your next question will be, Why do we have it here? Because we are supposed to have and show compassion and help those less fortunate then ourselves. Not all of our questions will be answered here. Some are not for us to ask, as we should have enough faith in him.

Answer 9

Yes, I think you would. In the Bible it says that God gives every man a chance to get his heart right with God. If you don't take the chance, or chances, that you get, that is your fault, not God's.

Answer 10

Some say yes, but I'd say no, How could you be punished for ignorance of something, not a fair God if so.
