If there is a hell, what about all the people who have never heard the Gospel, Indians before the new world was discovered, people in the Congo, people in many parts of the world have never heard it even today, aborted babies, children who die at a very young age, the mentally ill, ect... If you think about about it most of the people who have ever lived fall into one of these categories, so what about all these billions and billions of people?

Yes I did. So are you saying that creation revealed the Gospel of Jesus Christ to these people?

God said all people have an inner sense of what He requires. They know the truth and will have to endure the consequences of ignoring it. No will will be able to stand before God and say I didn't know.

So are you saying there is a different Gospel for these people?

Why are missionaries sent to areas that have not heard the gospel if all they need to know about Jesus Christ to believe in Him to be saved, is seen in nature? Why even share the good news about Jesus Christ at all? God bless and peace.

Although people know that God exists, missionaries sensitively expose their sin and point them to Christ. People sometimes may believe there is a God, but refuse to commit themselves to Him. Missionaries help them by sharing God's Word, they are also obeying the great commission of our Lord (Matt 28:19-20). Although nature reveals God, people need to be told about Jesus and how through Him, they can have a personnel relationship with God.

You will not be sent to hell for rejecting a Gospel you have never heard of. You might be given a inner feeling as to if God exists, but you cant turn down salvation if it hasnt been presented to you.
