Do people who live in countries where christianity is illegal still get into heaven if they dont believe in christ? [Spirituality & Religion]

This question is only for christians/people who believe in hell. If someone grows up n lives somewhere where learning about Jesus is illegal, shouldn't they get a free pass into heaven since they never got the chance to learn about Christ? I know that there still is some Christians in these countries, but they risk imprisonment and death for trying to learn/teach the word of god. I just feel that people shouldnt have to risk their lives to get into heaven, and that those who chose not to learn/follow Jesus for fear or losing their lives n their freedom don't deserve to go to hell.

Those are rules regulations and tradeoffs that you need to speak to God about

If you are asking if God loves everybody and a forgiving God ... yes

If you are asking about the path to Heaven ... happy to provide guidance

Would advise getting a good lawyer, who golfs with God, to get special rules bent.

Now what did Jesus say? "Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it."

@hippyjoe1955 that's a hard thing for me to wrap my head around and a reason i believe in god but not in the conventional rules of hell and how people get there. You have to change your life and live a certain way to NOT to go hell, and if you live somewhere where Christianity is illegal you have to break the law and risk your life, maybe even get brutally tortured and killed, to get into heaven. Im sorry but that sounds ridiculous. Just as bad as saying people who aren't baptized dont go to heaven. Like if a baby dies before being baptized they wont go to heaven, that's insane! I know that's a catholic thing but still.

@Sweetguy024 The point you are missing is that Christianity is a transformation carried out by Yahweh on each individual Christian. Getting into heaven or going to hell is for the rubes and not for real Christians. If you focus on the temporary you get sidetracked from the Eternal.

As it is a God who judges and not us, why not leave the matter in his hands, while doing our best to spread the good news?

I just state the truth. The Bible says that the fool said in his heart there is no God. @Entwistle

Sweetguy024 · 36-40, M

@Speedyman i do believe in God and Jesus. I just find it hard to believe that people with other faiths/no faith will spend eternity being tortured in hellfire after they pass away

Well if you don’t believe it then why you are here commenting on it@Sweetguy024

A coward dies a million deaths a brave man dies but once.

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@hippyjoe1955 What if a coward does a brave thing at the end of his life,

Sweetguy024 · 36-40, M

@hippyjoe1955 so if you dont believe (a coward man) you reincarnate until you do believe(a brave man)

@revenant that doesnt really answer my question lol

revenant · F

@Sweetguy024 nah but there will be a lot of different views. I believe that one goes to heaven or whatever it is called regardless of religions

Sweetguy024 · 36-40, M

@revenant i like that belief. I kinda believe that all religions are kinda true n are tied together in some way. Im not sure but wouldnt be surprised if that's kinda how it is

I thought you had to be dead to get there anyway.

Sweetguy024 · 36-40, M

@Sharon hahah that's funny. What i should have said is that if someone is afraid to risk their life to learn about Jesus and therefore doesn't take the chance and sticks with the beliefs that they're allowed to have. I dont feel that person should or would spend eternity in hell.
