Hello i havent posted here before, i actually never knew this forum existed! im very glad to see it does

i myself am a proud believer of jesus christ

but anyways! ive had this question brewing in me for quite some time......
not sure if anyone has studied it or see any recent posts about it or anything, but

people that are natives in the jungles or some random tribes, that have never ever EVEN heard the name of Jesus, are they sent to Hell?

Well, considering the default position of humans since they're not natural is hell, yes they will. But then again, so will we. We are headed for hell for just being a human.

"And the gospel of this kingdom will be preached to all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then the end shall come" -Jesus

So its time to get the word out, we are getting very close to the end of the age.

Here is an example I can think of:

1) You buy a bag of crickets to feed to your lizards... (The crickets were raised to be food, and to die.)

2) Before dumping them in the lizard tank, you decide to let a few go in your backyard.

3) Those crickets, who were destined for death, were given a chance to live, through your compassion.

We are the crickets, Jesus is the person.

what do you mean we are headed there?


so how is this fair to these nations that have never even heard of jesus.... they never had a single chance to even believe?

so he just " let " some people go to hell?

This is what the bible itself had to say about it, so its settled once and for all:

"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
This is the verdict/condemnation: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed."

do you think its because there ancestors maybe neglected the belief of Jesus, and it was a generational curse passed down? so thats why they never got the chance?

To be honest, I'm not sure. Its up to Yahweh in the long run.

i guess so ty

wow god is a dick
