What if someone hasn't heard of Christianity and only knows some other form of religion. If no one bothers to bring Christ to them, can they really be to blame if they don't die believing in God?

Love.Your.Hate. What if someone hasn't heard of Christianity and only knows some other form of religion. If no one bothers to bring Christ to them, can they really be to blame if they don't die believing in God? I think God will take them into Heaven, and get an Angel, or personally, tell them about Christ. God knows what's right.

Only God knows the answer to that, but the best we can do is spread the word any where we can and give everyone the same opportunities we had to learn of God.

I heard it some where that before someone dies they will have heard of and had a chance to accept Christ.

My teacher mentioned something about being an "Anonymous Christian", which means that although they may not call themselves "Christian", they are still part of the body of Christ, be they Muslim, Buddhist, or whatever. So I dont think that just because someone hasn't heard and learned about Christ, they are automatically going to hell.

Oridaius I heard it some where that before someone dies they will have heard of and had a chance to accept Christ. That's not true, not everyone gets to. People who have not heard the gospel will be judged according to the law within them, their conscience. Romans 2:12-16 12All 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. 13For 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. 14(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, 15since 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.) 16This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

I believe that someone will be told about Christ somehow, someway. even if it's by God himself, saying "eh, you should probably believe in me!"
Either way, that's what I think. And if not? Well then I think God would let them in heaven, since you cant really deny God if you can see him XD
Plus, like you said, God cant blame them for not believing if they never heard of Him!

I agree with Cestlavie on this one. I think the best thing we can do is try to reach as many people for Christ as we can while we live. We are called to do that as Christians anyways.

Cestlavie1 is totally correct. Come on people. We need to read the Bible and understand what it says in order to be a witness to people. Jesus told us to make disciples of all nations for a reason. Jesus said " I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
You guys should read Romans 9 about how its God's choice.
Also Romans 1:18-20 talking about how people are without excuse!
Therefore everyone is going to hell unless they truly, deeply believe in Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross and that he rose again. People must accept the gift that Jesus offers to obtain salvation. Sins must be paid for. They cannot be swept under the rug because God is so holy. He is infinitely holy and each sin is infinitely unholy!

God's not about a religion. He is about people. All that person or anyone has to do is accept the gift of salvation, it is after all already ours.

I think God will reveal his plan to people one way or another. Remeber everyone is born with some idea that God exists. So, it is their choice whether or not to pursue it. If they choose not too then it is really their fault if they end up in Hell.
Remember, if anyone chooses to reject Jesus/God/Knowledge of God they are choosing to spend eternity in Hell. So, in the end God doesn't really send anyone to Hell. They make up their own mind to go there. Then they have eternity to think about where they went wrong!

I believe that there was a verse in which it said that God forgives ignorance.

Caterham_Paladin I believe that there was a verse in which it said that God forgives ignorance. Quite the contrary. Pleading ignorance will not work because of the God-given conscience within every person. Every person has both a conscience and all of creation before their eyes. These are more than enough reason to know that there is a God. Thus, all will be judged according to the law of God. Yes, God is loving, and he is also completely just. Consult the Bible for answers. Don't use wishful thinking.
