If God is fair and the only way to go to heaven is through Jesus, what about those people that are living in small villages like in the amazon jungle. Thousands upon thousands are dying without knowing Jesus. Does that mean they go to hell? Are some people predestined to do so. It does not make sense. Some people live in societies where they are not likely to convert easily to Christianity.They live in societies where that certain religion is their culture (muslim, budhist, etc) They do not get the kind of exposure that (lets say Americans) get. If so that does not seem so fair and there is a flaw in this religion. Can anyone let me know what happens to these people.

I'm off to bed so it will be a short answer, but to say there is a flaw in the religion is a huge understatement.

No matter if you have religion or not , no matter where you come from , when people die they are at peace and that is......., " Heaven " . And when people are living life with all the ups and downs that it brings , that's is " Hell " .
I am sure the natives in the Amazon Jungle believe in something to keep them on the straight and narrow within their Tribe . And that's why religion was brought into play all over the world , just so people had something to stop them from doing wrong against their fellow man ! , it works with most and with others it's a lost cause ! .

Humans were not designed to go to Heaven. If Adam and Eve did not sin, they would still be alive here on Earth. Life took another path when they brought sin and death into our lives. Humans that died before Jesus Christ, faithful to Yahweh, or without knowing Him at all, will be resurrected after Armageddon. The ones that knew Yahweh, but decided not to follow Him, will be forgotten forever; they will not be brought back to live. After Jesus, basically the same thing takes place; with the exception of 144,000 that will dwell in Heaven for 1000 years after Armageddon. They will be priests and judges of the Most High. The survivors of Armageddon, since they will never taste death to pay for their inherited sin, would be covered by Jesus' death. At the end of the 1000 years, paradise will be fully restored! We will then live forever on Earth as God originally intended. Psalms 37:11,29
People "living in small villages," that did not know Jesus at all, who perish before Armageddon, will be resurrected an given the opportunity to learn about the Good News if God's Kingdom.

Wow you haven't asked it much have you. Lets see read Romans 1:20. did you know that Christian missionaries have found completely isolated tribes who through nature God revealed himself to them and they were believers and were amazed that these missionaries knew the same God as them. So what is your excuse may I ask. If you are brave read these websites. Ooo its so scary.

Wow the answer to your so difficult a question. If these people in jungles totally isolated from civilization can be saved you really have no excuse. sad What nothing to say now huh. I hope you find answers to many other questions as well at this web-site. like I said you must not be looking very hard for answers to your questions because they are everywhere. In this day of the net its easier then ever so.?? How did those earliest believers find salvation? There was really not very many people, no bible, no written word, no missionaries, no cars, no churches, no TV, net, How did that happen? Ever think of that? Wow.

Then why can't ignorance save you in courts?
There is no flaw in it...
Those people will have their rightful judgement on judgment day.
We don't know the works of God.. And we don't question God..
That's the mission of the Roman Catholic Church whom Jesus had commanded to spread and save all man kind in every corner of the earth. That's our mission..
Why do you question God for all the suffering and hunger?
Have you ever questioned God why you are well and good and everything is provided for you?

i'm undecided the thank you to respond to your question, yet i'm undecided precisely WHY an "anti-gay bigot" (i'm not one!) might prefer to. however if reasons are waiting to be deduced in obvious situations, they shouldn't be exaggerated. What I advise to assert is that the "protection of marriage acts" via call call are unavoidably conserving marriage against "some thing" (such as you stated) The 'protection of marriage' legislators so some distance as criminal concerns circulate (cuz we will not say their heart's reasons), are protecting (classic) marriage as an opposite-intercourse union against non-tradional marriage. Thats it. they are not conserving it from gay relationships, Love (of the extra open experience), nor from some precis, unnameable tension. additionally protecting the employer of opposite-intercourse marriage, not the little couples that are a factor of it. consequently, it isn't the marriages of the different-intercourse couples that the guidelines are apprehensive approximately. of direction the marriage of a similar-intercourse couple or any couple can not harm different ppl; 2d's of silence, that are only gaps of soundless time, have been fought , even nevertheless they don't harm others the two. besides, the situation with the cohabitating gay couple seems to point that the government is combating gays themselves and the gay "time table." while in actuality, all that we can assume from their stance on the "secure practices of marriage"is they like to maintain marriage as a guy-woman employer. Heck, the gov't would quite have it out for us... yet that can not somewhat be stated with concerns of the court docket and legislations. :( So the question is unanswerable, in techniques, yet for various reasons than may well be predicted. somewhat, it is only approximately as though they'd not could answer the question. The gov't is combat to guard marriage from being redefined. Contrarily, they are not combating to guard each and each immediately couple's marriage from the dreaded attack of the ever-so-DREADFUL gay couples.

Well some Christians, myself included, believe that no one will be judge for more than they are accountable for. However, Romans chapter 1 states it plainly that you can know enough about God by creation. All sincere seekers will be saved by faith be it on the little they get from general revelation of nature or the full revelation of the Bible. One verse in, I believe in Revelations, says that "those that fear him" are part of the redeemed.
So the Bible says it's plain and if you miss it then it's probably because of a darkened mind from immoral behavior. And God is more gracious and generous then you think.

You are absolutely correct....if you have experienced Christ then you are one of the fortunate few, yet I am sure the essence of good living is all about doing the right things and abstain from evil. God is the creator and he knows how to sort this out. Be it any community it can only survive on the positives it carries ...so going to heaven is left to God to decide......if people say that you have to be achristian to raech heaven then they are wrong.....what matters the manner you live..a Christ like life so the manmade fundas are only practised by escapists...who convert and feel they are secure.No! you need to live a Christ like life which many christians fail to understand........

It amazes me that you would think that someone on this planet can give you an answer to yur question - they can't and if they say they can they are making it up. As your question illustrates, if this were the case it would clearly not be fair. You are right - it doesn't make any sense so its up to you to decide what's right for you , what makes sense in your universe?
