Calling all Christians?

Question

Okay so here my beef... Christian claim that the only way to get to heaven is to accept jesus christ as your savior, and that good deeds alone cannot get you into this heaven. So what about the remote villages that have never heard of jesus? And what about the centuries that Native Americans, Asians, South american tribes and any other peoples that never heard of jesus? I'm sure these were all very good people but just because they didn't know they are supposedly damned to hell for an eternity... I don't buy that! Someone please explain this to me. And that's just one of the many things but I just want to address this one for now.

Answer 1

them xtians will NEVER give you an direct answer,
they CAN'T
they have corrupted their own religion so much they don't even know for sure what the bible ever actually said. How many of them can read it's original language? let alone CARE to learn it beyond simple phrases they spit out to sound intelligent.

If their christ were to return, no doubt they'd either send him to gitmo or lock him in a looney bin. The LAST guy that said he was jesus they BBQ'ed (waco)

What they're forgetting, when these things were allegedly said by jesus the KNOWN world was ROME, the roman empire and THAT IS IT. it wasn't until over a thousand years later they figured out the earth wasn't FLAT. It's small minds that thing their way is the ONLY way.
I was told once.

"how do we mere mortals know that GOD didn't show himself to all the people of the world in a form that they could recognize and understand? Who are we to say he didn't show himself to the asian as buddah, to the muslim as allah, and so forth"

Since they like to throw around bible verses like daggers, here's one for THEM.

"I have MANY NAMES, and MANY FACES"

I wonder if they even remember that one. Probably not, it doesn't help their agenda any

Answer 2

1) God is capable of choosing who He chooses.
2) He is quite capable of convincing people without anyone else around.
3) How do you know that there weren't any of those people saved? Were you there?
4) Why is it that people think that all people in reclusive parts of the world all think the same?
5) God has always only chosen a remnant of people. He never wanted everybody, but chooses who can respond to Him.

I really don't believe that people who think that God is so limited understand what He is able to do.

And then there is this:
Matthew 25:32
All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Revelation 7
9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

My Bible says that they were from EVERY nation, tribe, people, and language. How many of those people do you know?

Answer 3

The belief that you either go staight to heaven or hell, depending if you are christian or not is false. It is a something that was spawned from the many centuries of religious ignorance after Christ died. The truth is, people can only be judged for what they know, and/or what they know to be true. If a Budhist monk that never heard of Jesus Christ dies, he will not be judged by that, but rather by what he did with the knowledge he did have.

Answer 4

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have a really good point and I wondered that too. Personally, I am so not sure about this since I haven't been to church in a while and I am not sure if you have to believe in Jesus in order to get to Heaven. I think those people do go to Heaven. Like they lived for thousands of years and weren't exposed to the worship of our God, so how can they be at fault. You get a star!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to see what the other fellow Christians have got to say about this!!!!!

Answer 5

Fear not ! Never make the error of thinking that Jesus' Power of God to seek and to save all persons is less than needed !

If God were SMALL enough for our comprehension; He would not be BIG enough for our REAL NEEDS.

Read and believe John 12:31-32 and John 16:7-16

The accepting of our Creator Son of God Jesus is not just by hearing a sincere Christian Evangelist INTELLECTUALLY tell you ABOUT Jesus Christ as your Savior ! This Revelation of Jesus' love, mercy and saving power freely given to you must be here in Him --in His Spirit !

Jesus is here in Spirit now as He the Spirit of Truth Who is freely and lovingly poured out upon ALL flesh ! You too ! Me too ! Amen !

Many Christians later may be shocked to see so many Humans in the next Heaven who never heard the name "Jesus", but followed Him in Spirit into Life Eternal in God's Light !

Remember Jesus here in Spirit tells us still to:
"Worship God in Spirit and in Truth." (more Real than just five English language alphabet letters SS and U and E and J arranged anyway you like.)

Answer 6

first I wanna say there is no hell, it is referred to as the common grave. the dead have no conscious existence, hell cannot be a fiery place of torment where the wicked suffer after death. as does Gehenna, the lake of fire(Hades) symbolizes eternal destruction . and not all go to heaven just because you believe it doesn't mean you will go to heaven. one you have live your life in accordance with God's word the Bible and two only a hundred and forty four thousand go to heaven. for the rest of us there is still a hope we can live forever on earth in a paradise that God is going to bring about, no one knows the time, but it will come as "a thief in the night" so we have to be on guard and ready not be 'sleeping' so to speak in a spiritual sense of course lol. only Jehovah and Jesus know. I can not wait for that wonderful time. :)

PRAISE JEHOVAH YOU PEOPLE!

Answer 7

I used to worry about that, too. Then I read all of the verses where Jesus himself talks about going to heaven. It seems that Jesus has a different opinion in many cases than most Christians.

So just go ahead, and read the gospels again, making sure to read the parts where Jesus talks about salvation and heaven very carefully. (Especially, the sheep and goat parable, Math 25 something?)

Answer 8

Native Americans worshiped god, they may not have called him Jesus, they didn't speak English. A lot of the us I know worship in Peyote Churches and not white churches. Don't think that they didn't believe in a higher power, they had their, "Great Spirit". It makes you wonder what the world would be today if they would have accepted our culture instead of the white man. I'll bet the world wouldn't be in a turmoil.

Answer 9

Well, my take on this issue is that people will be judged according to their deeds. Check out Revelation 20:12

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

Answer 10

If a man has for the most part lived a good and decent life he has given glory to God
If he was never exposed to the good news, at judgement he will acknowledge that Jesus is Lord
