Justice
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Romans 1:20 KJV
No it is not that simple. If they have never heard the gospel (1) then they will have the opportunity to respond to general revelation. And (2) because of Gods middle knowledge He may have placed someone in a point in time when the gospel was not available because He knew that they would have rejected the gospel anyway in another scenario in which the opportunity was available. I just opened a can of worms.
I believe Romans 2:12-16 talks about this. Becomes a matter of conscience.
Everyone is born with a conscious and God could judge them according to that.
Hell
Will a child that dies have an adult glorified body in the resurrection? If life on earth is supposed to build character, what kind of character will these people have? Just asking out of curiosity
This is where I have major issues with my Calvinist brothers. The notion that God would create beings predestined for Hell with no free will to choose or opportunity to hear the gospel is not consistent with what we know of Gods nature. I find that abhorrent.
Sad story. But i doubt that one never have heard of Jesus and the bible. Some christian didnt do their part.
Really sad thing…

We are held accountable for how we respond to that which has been revealed to us. A man cannot choose to accept or reject Christ if they have never heard of him.
God has revealed himself to all men through nature and the knowledge of eternity and morality that He has placed in their hearts. How they respond to these revelations is what those, who have never heard of Jesus, will be judged on.
Well they are not held accountable for not hearing the message but for knowing what they do know about God through his General Revelation and moral conscience. Romans 1:18-20. Romans 2:14-15.
The Bible says it’s better that they had not known the way of righteousness than do know and withdraw from it. So if I had to say I think they’ll receive mercy if they don’t know. But not if your wilfully lawless. You’ll be judged by the law. Those cases will be very few.
The gospel is available to anyone who seeks it. There is no excuse for remaining ignorant all of one’s life. If someone doesn’t come to belief, that’s their own doing, and this brings eternal separation from God.
Jesus takes care of it. Dreams, visions, etc. Plus the truth is already written on everyone’s hearts.
The law of God is written on their hearts either condemning them of excusing them. Man has a conscious that’s God put in them. Romans talks about it. The law is written in their hearts, they hold the law not even having one. Because it’s the way God made man. They will be judged according to their deeds like everyone else…. God bless
We get judged by what we know, exposed and what we did with that knowledge during our life time
God will judge that person in His infinite wisdom. It’s not your worry.
Hell, like we all deserve.
Romans 9:17-21
For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.” So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen.
Well then, you might say, “Why does God blame people for not responding? Haven’t they simply done what he makes them do?”
No, don’t say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?” When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into?
Romans 3:23 for ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God is just, He is love and He is sovereign.
Often when this comes up, I turn my attention to the questioner. What does that have to do with you? Have you heard the gospel? Do you believe? And so on.
No one goes to hell unjustly.
The answer to that question belongs to God and to God alone. Everything else is pure speculation
They will be judged for what they did not for what they didn’t hear.
If a person were to die without hearing the Gospel, the answer is the same for someone who rejects. Romans 1 tells us the glory of God is displayed through all of creation therefore men are without excuse
Was this a sinless person?
It’s called General Revelation. God provided three channels of general revelation for mankind they are: nature, conscience, and history. They give some sense of morality and an understanding that sin needs to be dealt with because man has been given the ability to reason. The revelation of creation itself gives man the evidence that their is a God involved in our human world. Man has always had the ability to make choices with the knowledge he has. It has always been that man could choose between right and wrong.
The Bible says that nature will reveal the Gospel too. The Native Americans believed in the Great Spirit and their basic theology actually got a lot right- so without hearing the Gospel I believe God will reveal Himself to anyone who wants to know Him.
God will judge them according to the witness their conscience bears for or against them. Their hearts reveal whether they would have embraced Jesus as their savior if they had heard the Gospel.
They go to hell
They know the difference betwixt good and evil yet never sought repentance n the goodness of God. Its harsh, eternity is nothing to treat lackadaisically. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God.
God’s mercy and Justice would never allow for someone to not have the chance to chose him
All people that don’t learn about Jesus Christ in this life will have a chance to learn and follow it after they die.
1 Perer 4:6
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
Not everyone who goes to Heaven hears the Gospel preached by a human voice. Many get saved just reading the Bible. Some have death bed dreams where Jesus comes to them. Only God knows each individuals condition and where they go when they die, including you and i.
Read Romans 2:10-15..that means even if they did not hear the gospel preaching they will be judged according to revelation they received..if they were in time of Law they will be judged by the Law. AccordIng to natural revelation and conscience..accordingly. No excuse that did not hear the gospel.
There is a book called “I dare to call Him Father” about a Muslim lady in the middle of Pakistan, being drawn by God, and saved by Him.
She did not decide one day, that she was interested in becoming a Christian, but as Per Ephesians chapter 1, She was chosen to be in Him before the foundation of the world. God is not impotent in that He cannot provide the hearing to anyone of those He gave Jesus to be spotless and blameless before Him.
Note, I have made reference to Ephesians 1 and John 6 and 10 above but did not directly quote it. See below for the actual scriptures:
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
Ephesians 1:4-5 ESV
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.
John 6:39 ESV
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”
John 10:27-30 ESV
Yes, I know the verse in Hebrews well. We ARE judged. But who says that our chance to hear the truth ends at death? God never changes.
God reveals Himself by His Creation, in our Conscience, and those who respond to this then are given more revelation – amounting ultimately in God’s full revelation of Christ Jesus!
I have read or seen videos of so many people testifying Jesus visited them Himself. Nobody dies without a fair chance.
They go to hell. Nobody can complain and say “Lord, I never heard the gospel and nobody told me. I would have believed in someone shares me.” No man can say this statement coz God has given a conscience to decide what is right and what is wrong. See Romans 2: 14-15, it says “our conscience bear witness.
God’s Revelation is in the nature itself. Psalm 19: so, no wonder, they go to hell.
Jesus went and preached the gospel to those who were in prison. He said we will do even greater works ♥️♥️♥️
Those who have not heard the gospel will die in their sins. “Fcor the wages of sin is death…” Romans 6:23. That’s why Christians are commanded to share the gospel so God can saved His elect. Not all people will be saved but only those whom God choose to save. If you are reading this and you are not saved, God may be calling you to be saved. Turn to God in repentance and believe by faith in Jesus Christ to save you. .
God has put a measure of Faith in each and everyone’s heart
All will be guilty before God whether they heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ or not! They will know there is something above them that creates the world, animals, and themselves. They know by the human body alone their is a God a Creator! On that day they will be without excuse! Will there punishment be as great as one who rejected it time after time! No, I think not! Just as there are different punishments for different sins in Scripture so I believe there are different degrees of punishment in hell for the sin of rejection. God help those who knew the truth all along and rejected it until their death! Great will be their punishment.
Those who do not know the truth and those who do not obey will be thrown into the lake of fire
Does God need us to be mini judges
My two cents worth: No one in the Old Testament knew Jesus by name, yet most are saved. God is perfectly just AND perfectly loving. No one will be in heaven who doesn’t want to be there, and no one will be in hell who doesn’t deserve to be there!
Age of accountability is varied. If a person did not get a chance to hear the true Gospel and was not aware what being saved means (accepting the gift) before death, then he/ she will go to heaven.
I don’t know where this “go to another planet” come from? Not the Bible , for sure
Romans 1 tells us that ALL people have subjective and objective knowledge of God so that NO one has an excuse. If someone looks at creation around them and cries out to God, God will meet them. Romans 10:13-15. Either God keeps His Word and ANYONE who calls on Him will be saved, or the plan of salvation is a lie. Jehovah God is NOT the god of half-way.
