For christians [Spirituality & Religion]

According to (John14:6) The way to Heaven is only through Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone. Our Lord Jesus Christ is Himself the way to Heaven. He does not merely show the way; He is the way. Salvation is only in the person of Jesus Christ.

Now imagine you grow up in a country where christianity is not the dominant religion and you’ve never heard of it. You go your entire life living according to your cultures customs and practices. You eventually die and you find yourself going to hell because of you followed the “wrong religion”

Another example, christianity is once again not the dominant religion but you are familiar with some of its teachings but you still follow the dominant religion because of you agree with it’s teachings and the various miracles you witness. You eventually die and go to hell because you followed the “wrong religion”

Hell has been described as a place of eternal damnation and torment. Emphasis on Eternal. And I reiterate, you were BORN in the wrong religion and you’re going to hell for it. Explain to me exactly how that is an appropriate punishment for believing in the wrong god?

Where to start... John 14 is more about how Jesus is doing the work of God and thus his way is God's way. You can't see or hear God they could see Jesus and through him they could learn God's way.

If you never know of God you are fine as long as you follow a path of righteousness. It is more difficult without the teachings but not impossible.

As for Hell, that's a whole other can of worms. Just know, a lot of people have the Hell idea all wrong. It's not actually fire and brimstone. The eternal fire and damnation place is Gehenna which was a literal place outside Jerusalem. Not the afterlife.
