"The Sentinelese live on their own small island, North Sentinel, and continue to resist all contact with outsiders. They are thought to number between 50 and 200 people. The Indian government has made several unsuccessful attempts to establish friendly contact with the tribe. Contacting the Sentinelese would almost certainly have tragic consequences, as their isolation makes them very vulnerable to diseases to which they have no immunity."
How could a Benevolent God banish these people to hell? Their only crime is that they are isolated and have never had the chance to accept the Christian God or Jesus.

I cannot accept that a benevolent, father-like God would send ANYONE to hell, Let alone people who have no chance of knowing he exists for not believing in him.

I think its equally appalling to believe in a God that would send a decent, loving person who happened to be Hindu, Pagan, agnostic, atheist, Native American spiritualist, etc... to hell for not accepting Christianity. These people all have strong reasons to them for what they believe or don't believe that are as real and valid and that there are certainly no less or more proof for. I could never call such a God a God of love.

lots greater straightforward : Why do no longer you basically locate out what Christianity fairly teaches !! study 'Mere Christianity' by way of the finished-knowledgeable modern-day convert C S Lewis. This seen yours is irresponsible : "Atheists understand morality, and a sought after one too. So there's no worry the international might finally end up in chaos without the Bible except you think of you go with - kill human beings without it." study any good historic previous of the 20 th Century (Paul Johnson, Winston Churchill, Jacques Barzun, Robert Conquest) and a pair of issues will strike you: a million) it is the bloodiest harshest century in historic previous (Churchill esp. says that) 2) each and all the main important tyrants (Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc.) have been atheists, and specially tortured and killed believers. The Nobel Prize winner Solzhenitsyn ( a Russian who wrote considerably on the topic of the pogroms and the Gulag) : "..the critical trait of the completed twentieth century" is that "adult men have forgotten God," and each calamity of the admired international stems from "the flaw of a expertise lacking all divine measurement." It started with the guillotine and the French Revolution and maintains on...

Hi.First of all how do you know what God is going to do.Has he told you he is going to send the Sentinelese to Hell or are you assuming he is going to.There is a lot of wrong information regarding who will go to Heaven and who will go to Hell. No one will go to Hell if their only crime is not knowing about Christianity.You have to commit a mortal sin without asking for forgiveness from God .Then you will be judged and he will decide where you will go.. Not being or not knowing about Christianity is not a mortal sin.

God graciously reveals his nature and power in creation. god has entrusted human beings with spreading the Gospel. If you are concerned about the Sentinelese, contribute generously to Wycliffe Bible Translators, so that they can receive the good news in their own language.

If they never hear the Word of God, they still know the difference between right and wrong and God will take that into account.

you go and take the gospel
put your money where your heart is, take the message to them.
if you are honest, God will open the door, if not, then you will go away empty of spirit and will weep and pray. In time God will open the door
as for unjust, read through romans a few times

And what about those who blindly believe that god begets; just because church tells them, are not chrisitans more likely to go to hell for associating a belief about god which He never proclaimed

Now there you go again, plain confusing divine justice with a human concept like fairness! If the missionaries get to them, sure they'll all die of our diseases, but at least they'll be baptised and that, my friend, is a win for faith!

they will have the same opportunity to accept Christ whether in this life or the next. This is exactly why the church is responsible for the work of Redeeming the dead.
