The Bible has much to say on that score eg 2 Thes Rather we are considering the fate of those who through no fault of their own have never heard of Jesus.
We only need to think of all those who died before Jesus was ever born to realise the scale of the problem. What then can we say? If Christianity is true, then God is a morally perfect and just being. He also knows everything and his very nature is love.
The idea that on the Day of Judgment there will be a massive miscarriage of justice, either because God didn't know or didn't care is inconceivable. Such a God would be an evil tyrant, not the merciful Lord revealed by Jesus. So whatever does happen would leave any moral observer entirely satisfied that the God of all the earth has done right Gn No-one is totally ignorant about the true and living God. This includes the moral character of God as evidenced by our consciences Rom 2. The Old Testament heroes of faith had little knowledge of Jesus yet found God's mercy.
This is a deeply theological question. There are many different doctrines bound up in any answer to this question and it is an intensely emotional question. He has spoken, I believe very clearly, to that question. The book of Romans is kind of like a missionary support letter.
We have an entire book written to persuade the church to take the gospel to people who have never heard the name of Jesus. The book of Romans then has huge implications for how we understand any answer to this question. God has made revelation of himself continually and clearly known to all people. Every single man in the African jungle, every single woman in an Asian village, the Eskimo in the forgotten tundra, everybody has knowledge of God the Father; everybody in all history knows God.
We all have an inherently sinful nature that is prone to worship creation rather than the Creator. This is not an indictment of that Indian tribe.
We are all prone to worship creation rather than the Creator, who alone is worthy of all praise. We worship ourselves, worship things, worship idols, whatever it is, we have rejected true knowledge of God.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. When we talk about mission, we have this picture that there are innocent people all over the world waiting to hear the gospel.
Do you think it would be just, or fair, for God to condemn someone to hell for not believing in Jesus when they never even had the opportunity to hear about Jesus?
