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?

I'll share with you, as I did with with another below. Religion is man-made philosophy and has nothing to do with salvation. Religion didn't die on the cross for our sins...Jesus did. That makes it personal.

God's Word tells us that before the Lord returns, all will have heard the gospel of Christ and given the chance to decide whom they shall serve. Yet it is NOT because they did not serve Christ, that people go to hell. Hell was NOT made for man. And Christ came NOT to condemn the world, but to SAVE IT. Save it from what? The condemnation and penalty that SIN brings to man. NOT GOD. The ONLY thing that keeps people from heaven, is SIN, because unconfessed sin, keeps people separated from Christ. Until they repent. And then they are fit for heaven, as sin is erased and there is no more condemnation that sin had placed on them. There's not a single soul that has to miss heaven. The remedy has been provided in the person of Jesus Christ, whom God the Father, Himself, approved as the only way of an accepted means of salvation.
