What do christians belives happens, to the people who have never heard of God or Jesus, after they die?

Question

I mean like those tribal people or an isolated culture etc

Answer 1

Christians hold that there is one path to eternal righteousness. That path is through the atoning sacrifice of Christ, the second person of the Trinitarian God. Christ himself was clear that **no one** could come to God the Father, the first person of the Trinitarian God, except through Christ himself.

In this era of religious pluralism, “it is OK to believe what you want as long as you are sincere”, the message from Christ has been severely diluted and corrupted.

I believe that there is biblical support for the idea that persons of different faiths outside of orthodox Christianity may be found righteous before God at the time of their death.

Consider those that died before Christ walked the earth, or those that had never directly heard the message of Christ today that have died. For these, God looks into their hearts and minds, judging them according to their true beliefs.

If their beliefs held...

(1) that they were hopelessly lost in their sins, and
(2) could not make themselves righteous before the one true God through their good works, but
(3) instead required a perfectly sinless advocate (the Word, Logos, a.k.a., Christ), revealed to them in the world around them, and through whom they could appeal to God’s mercy,

...then I believe God will accept the person into the community of heaven. The scriptures are clear that there are none righteous, for they have had the laws of God revealed to them in the world around them and in their own conscience. But, God is not compelled to give people more truth if they already rejected the truth about Him they have.

Thus, anyone claiming they were not explicitly "told" about Christ will not get that person a free pass from God. The scriptures are clear that there are none righteous, for they have had the laws of God revealed to them in the world around them and in their own minds. They are to be found wanting at the judgment throne of God:

Ecc 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Rom 1:20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

So, as I noted above, their must be some deeply held belief in the message of Christ, whether through direct communication, or indirectly via God's revelation in this world and in their own minds. God’s grace makes this possible, but not all will accept God’s call to righteousness and for this they are judged appropriately:

Rom 1:21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Rom 1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

For these reasons God will give us up to our own sinful desires and beliefs. (See Romans 1:24-32).

In summary, a just God acts as such based on the following five points.

(1) People are responsible for the truth that they have, as Romans 1:20-24 shows.
(2) All people have some truth, from nature (Romans 1:20) and their own conscience. (Romans 2:13-15)
(3) God is just. God does not hold people responsible for the truth they do not have, as in Romans 4:15; 5:13, noting that Sin is not counted where there is no law. Or see Acts 17:30, stating that God overlooks times of ignorance.
(4) However, all ignorance is not necessarily innocent ignorance. In Romans 1:18-20 we read that people can suppress the knowledge that they have. While God understands of someone who only had very little light, people are still condemned if they are in darkness because they themselves "snuffed out the light".
(5) For those that reject the truth that they do possess, God is not obliged to give them additional truth. (Romans 11:20; Matthew 13:14-15; 23:29).

Answer 2

The Lord has made it possible for almost everyone in the world to hear his message through missionaries, radio, television, Internet. Christianity has lasted through the ages and will continue to do so. God will judge them according to their works. The Lord is merciful. If you don't know any better and live a sinful life, The Lord will know. What you have to be concerned about is if you know it is against God and yet continue to do so anyway. And in this day in age that is easy to do. I pray that you will feel the love of God and his unconditional love for you. You will hardly get that from anywhere else in this world. Your kids and parents will maybe love you unconditionally, but no matter what you do, the Lord always has his arms open for you and accepts you for your true self.

Answer 3

Ok, let's assume that there are people on this earth who will go their entire lives without ever hearing of Jesus Christ... ok?

As a Christian, I believe that God is a righteous judge. His judgements are correct, and perfect. The person who never knew Christ would be judged correctly, fairly, and righteously. That is the nature of God, to do what is right. I have no doubts about God being able to do that.

Answer 4

His word is written upon our hearts
when we are born we receive the breath of life and that breath
comes from our Father in heaven and with that breath comes
love and truth
Those not corrupt by the teachings of this world like tribal people are closer to that truth than we are
you do not have to be able to read or even be able to hear to know the Love of the Father and the Son

Answer 5

I think I just answered this a million times ago...ok...People whom have never heard the Gospel will be judged on the light they receive. In other words..you know murder and lying and stealing is wrong right? I mean you don't have to be religious to understand morals. If "those" people know these morals but ignore em than yea their toast. God will make away

Answer 6

Those individuals, in step with so much Christian denominations, cross to Hell. That's why it is so most important for Christians to proselytize to all people round them, spend a while as missionaries and lift cash to ship Bibles to Middle Eastern international locations. They consider that Jesus' final guideline to his disciples used to be to be "fishers of guys," bringing faith to as many individuals as they may be able to achieve so all people can have a danger to get to Heaven.

Answer 7

if u havn't ever heard of God ever why should u go 2 hell??
i seriously think that would b unfair, and typically God is pretty fair [if he wasn't he'd have to listen to MORE complaining then he already does *he he*]
i belive that God would let him come,
only when u deliberitly do what he says no to..
have a great day!! ::]

Answer 8

It depends on the religion.
My religion believes that they will have the opportunity to learn of God and His son after they die, and they can accept or reject what they learn. God only wants his children to return to him. He wouldn't just leave those who never heard those things.

Answer 9

Any people who die without ever hearing the truth will be given another chance.

And some of them realize the truth because the Lord reveals it to them, unbidden.

His ways are mysterious. Be well.

Answer 10

Well its pretty easy. In the bible it tells us that none are innocent. We all have a conscience and the creation around us to tell us about God. But more importantly, God isnt a meany hell send a vision or missionary there. If your so onerned why dont u go tell them about God so they dont go to hel or r u just trying to make up silly weightless arguments to disprove Christianity.
