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?

hell only exists for us if it exists in our minds. why would someone go to hell if they had no conception of it? salvation is not necessarily from hell. hell is more of a symbolic place mentally and i suppose everyone can go there, but as far as non christians going to a christian hell because they didnt know of it sounds pretty unlikely. i think we partly do create our own reality with our thoughts.

If that was true then Jesus wouldn't have had to die on the cross, to save us from the consequences of our sins. Nor would He have warned us of it. If God said there's a hell, and even describes it in detail, then there's a hell. God is incapable of lying. Yet Satan would have us believe differently, since he wants us to join him there.
