do you think that everyone in heaven will be quote "a christian"? That is what i meant, i do not believe that god is some condemning fascist. Obviously because he sent his son, i was simply trying to quell her fears on the comdemning aspect of god's judgement. I agree that jesus is the way, however i don't believe that if you've never heard of jesus, god will comdemn you. It is possible to reach the world, however man will most likely not do it, and i don't like to think of these people's blood being on "christians" hands because they didn't reach them. Ultimately it is god's choice and i believe that he will, take into consideration a person's circumstances. Why would he not? He's a compassionate god. He doesn't want anyone to go to hell, that's why he sent jesus. And i don't agree with the missionary statement made below, there will be people that are not reached, and i do believe that god will manifest himself to people who truly seek him, however there really is no way to ensure that everyone will hear about jesus, and i don't thinkt that god will be quick to condemn those who havent.

how can you NOT agree with the missionary statement below? that is a form of hearing about Christ. It's Christian's way of spreading His light...
I didn't mean it was the only way they can hear about Jesus, I jsut said it was a way Christians were to trying to help those who havent heard.
God ultimatley makes the decision. I was saying that he woul dnot let someone just waste away and go to Hell... He'll find a way to make him self known, whether through missionaries, the Bible, or even other Christians..

Of course it is a form of hearing, i was trying to say that even if for one reason or another missionaries, christians, anyone cannot get to the entire world, god himself will judge those who had not an opportunity to hear of his son, according to their experiences in life
