What happens to all the people who never received the word of God?

Question

What do you think happens to the people who have never heard of Jesus Christ? After Jesus died for our sins, we have to accept him as our Lord and savior to be accepted into heaven. But what happened to the millions, maybe billions, of people who never even got a chance. For instance, all the native americans before the first missionaries sometime after 1492, or people today that live in remote parts of the Amazon. Does God punish these people with eternal damnation? What does the bible say?

Thanks Jen. Now we know there is info in the bible. People don't go to gell if they have never heard of Jesus, but do they get into heaven. Or maybe they are reincarnated to be given another chance.

Answer 1

God will judge them on what they did and if they saught him from their heart.

Answer 2

I believe they are given the chance during the 1000 year reign on earth, where Christ reigns over all the earth. Because after that, the Bible says that Satan will be loosed from the bottomless pit and there will be some that choose to follow him, and that is the final battle. So it goes rapture, battle at Medigo, or Armageddon, the Judgment, the 1000 year reign, Satan loosed a season, then some people actually follow Satan after living with Christ for 1000 years. Amazing, that just tells us how deceitful Satan can be. I think that it is when Christ has his 1000 year rule on earth that all the people that died and never had the chance to follow Christ will get their chance then. Because the Bible clearly states that after the 1000 year reign, some will fall away and follow Satan, and then they are cast into outer darkness. I think that is the black holes where even light can not escape. Just my opinion. I also think that the Anti Christ will come from a cloned man. Because the bible says that every man that God creates gets the Spirit of God, but who's spirit would a cloned man have? My guess is the spirit of man and that is where Satan comes in. Just my opinion, because Science and God always match if the Science is correct.

John 12:47.48; All will recieve the word of God as no one can be judged without knowing it. 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Heb.9:27; 2Cor.5:10; Rom.14:9-12; Philip.2:5,9-12;

EDIT: Sorry, I thought everyone knew Jesus had 1000 years.

SATAN'S 6130 YEARS MESS AND JESUS 1000 YEARS TO ALL NEW AGAIN

Rev.20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up,
and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.
This is the first resurrection. 2Pet,3:13; Isa.65:17; Rev.3:12;
Heb.12:22-24; Rev.21:1-5 [ All made new again as before Eden ] 8, [ second death ]; Rev.20:7-10 [ no Satan or any like unto him.

Answer 4

Trust me the American native heard about Jesus long before England invaded. Remember the Spanish.
Still there are literally billions that never heard of Jesus and there are still a few left in the world today.
There will be a judgment at the end of the millennial reign and all those will be judged by their merits. Good guys make it bad guys don't.
this only applies to those who never heard of Jesus. If you have heard you are bound by the covenant of grace. Either accept Him or perish.
God has always made a deal ( covenant ) with mankind. Many of Israel's old enemies worshiped God same as the Jews. They fall under the Old Covenant just as the Jews.
do you think God is going to punish His chosen people for holding on to the deal God offered them thousands of years ago, come on.
I can't understand how people can think God is so stupid He doesn't know right from wrong. He invented it.

Answer 5

Why could you choose Scripture to make specific something you do no longer have faith?? could you recognize??? Why could you choose Scripture on something so user-friendly??/ Scripture for airplane complication-loose experience??? a million Peter 3:19 -via which additionally he went , and preached Unto The Spirits in reformatory.....(.below Earth) All , interior the previous testomony new the be conscious interior the circumstances of the Priest,Prophets, Judges, Leaders.

Many did. The Lord spent 3 days below the Earth preaching to the souls that had no awareness of him , or understood his dying for arts Sin. while the earth is carefully Evangelized then the replace will come from the heavens. There are nevertheless international places that have not heard the be responsive to Salvation.. certainly one of those international places is China the biggest Pagan us of a interior the be conscious and the place there are over 25,000 underground Christians church homes, and from Protestants sects. That stated many have been Evangelized consisting of all the west, South united statesa., Europe, Russia, the Poles, Australia , The islands international alongside with Indonesia have Christianity, the midsection east even in spite of the undeniable fact that they are to blame for many Christians dying even have Christianity of their mist. The Caribbean, Cuba is packed with Christian church homes. So what's left, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and an extremely few others in place that are desolate..genuine we've got church homes in Tibet, which the government has given permission to make certain them (Protestants , and Pentecostal). And now what's substantial is to no longer complication approximately those, yet complication approximately your self, as though without faith you isn't a participant of Gods Glory, enable alongside Salvation.

Answer 6

romans 2:12-16
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

in a nutshell God will impart the very essence of righteous law in the hearts of those he predestined to be with him who will never hear the testimony of Jesus Christ, and this will be made known to their people. as always there will be those who accept it and those who reject it. and all will be judged.
But evil actions are as obvious as righteous ones. God will judge the world correctly according to what has been done. no one will be saying, "that's not fair!" at the judgment. and even if entire generations pass away never knowing anything about Him, and have sinned in life as all men have. God has a sovereign plan for that as well. he will know how to judge his creation.

Answer 7

This is what i don't understand, u can live ur life as a good kind decent person, but if u don't beleive in god, u go to hell... if u'r a murderer, paedophile etc, and believbe in god, he will 4give u, and ur accepted to heaven... I've spoken to many people who believe in god and they all agree, that's the accepted way.. i can't reconcile this with the theory of ' heaven and hell' espoused by 'christians'.. apparently, u can do what ever the hell u want, then ask for gods forgiveness if u believe in him,& he'll send u off 2 eternal bliss... Do'nt knock the disbelievers for being disillusioned and sceptical..

Answer 8

Whoa! You are way overpopulating the Earth. Romans chapter one says that the invisible qualities of God are seen in creation so that no one has an excuse not to believe. I believe God holds people accountable for what they know.

Answer 9

Well we know what happened to the Native Americans...Christians Killed em, Not to mention the Aztecs and the Inca's. Ummmm They had their own gods, Just like Judeo Christians do. Each culture has it's own interpretations of God/Godesses. The Christian God was not the first god, nor was the God of the Jews, They were gods created by the culture.

The only reason Islam and Christianity are the most known at this time is because they killed off all opposing views.

Answer 10

I think they will get the chance to accept Jesus as their Savior in the afterlife. God is fair and would not punish people for something that they have no control over.
