Because mankind did not see fit to acknowledge God and was filled with all kinds of sin, it was worthy of death. We are all worthy of death but if one is to return God, he or she must hear the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ and come t know Him as Savior. The majority has never heard of Jesus. in this physical life. God bless.
No offense, but that is complete BS. To say that people automatically "know" about a god is completely absurd. What your essentially saying that babies who can't even comprehend things like a mommy and daddy are able to understand the concept of a supernatural being. That makes no sense at all.
Well no offense to you either, but you don't believe in God so of course this doesn't make sense to you. And children (not babies) are capable of understanding how to become saved.

This is not about religion, but a relationship with Jesus, and He is the one who said He is the only way.

Since Christians think that "no one cometh to the Father but by me"[Jesus], what do they think becomes of those people who have never heard of or been exposed to the teachings of Jesus? Limbo? Just lay in the grave? Go to hell? Just curious.
They're all going to Hell. It doesn't matter how many good deeds they've done or how virtuous the lives they've lived. They're just screwed. Too bad so sad.
The Bible says they will be beat with fewer strips than those who knew the truth but believed not. That makes me believe they will go to "hell-lite" in other words.

Once again, people don't go to hell because they never heard the gospel. People got to hell because they broke God's laws.

Are you saying we all instinctively 'know' Gods laws?People on this board who have spent plenty of time reading the bible dont agree on many things,plenty of people around the world have never seen a bible.Why would a loving God allow children to be born in china knowing they would face near certain damnation?

No one is going to face eternal damnation. God has a plan and a purpose which he will fullfill in his time. This earthly life is not the end my friend. It is but a vapor in time. We could never know or understand God or the depth of his love if we never experienced evil. God is the one who put Adam and Eve in the garden. God is the one who put the tree of knowledge of good and evil right smack dab in the center of the garden. Did you notice that. The tree has knowledge of BOTH good and evil..same tree. They had to partake of the tree..it was God`s plan. We could never appreciate who God is if we never knew anything different. You couldn`t appreciate the light if you never experienced darkness. You couldn`t appreciate warmth if you never knew or understood about being cold. The lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. Did you catch that? The foundation of the world..not 2000 yrs ago. God`s plan was already in place. He has a purpose, a design and all of his creation is included in it. His will shall be done in his own time and neither man or satan or anything else can change that. His will is that all mankind shall be saved. EVERY KNEE and Tongue confess to the GLORY of God. So it is wriiten..so it shall be done.
