hello. my mother is very religious. and it bothers her that i am not as religious has her.
i would like to share her christian beliefs, but there are things that i just cant accept or understand.
one the most important questions i have, that i simply can not think about, is, what is going to happen to the rest of the worlds population?
what i mean, is that according to the bible, and christian beliefs, you need to repent of your sins, and accept jesus christ as your savior to be allowed into heaven. or else you are going to hell.
but, there are millions, even billions of people in this world, say, in some jungle in africa, or even just people living in places like india or china. they have never had the chance or might not have even heard of Jesus Christ, or the bible.
So are they all going to hell?
I certainly dont think they deserve such punishment. and if anything, i feel horribly sorry for some of them, they spent all their lives in devotion to a false god(s), doing no harm to anyone, or committing no sins except that of not accepting Jesus Christ.
what is going to happen to them?
This is what i find the most hard to accept is christianities lack of explanation for the population of our world, and its other religions. i dont think that anyone born in another country, accepting its religion that is not christian should go to hell.
So can anyone explain what is going to happen to the rest of the world?
this is one of the main reasons i have a very hard time accepting christianity is that it offers no explanation to this question.
