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?

No one goes to hell for "being in the wrong religion". Religion has nothing to do with it. It is sin that brings condemnation and separation from God in heaven, to all.... UNTIL one's sins are forgiven...then, we are united with God the Father, in fellowship and good standing, and fit for heaven.

@LadyGrace There may not be right or wrong religion. Every religion including Christianity may be different means to achieve the same destination. It is just that people follow different belief system.
So I agree with you that following different religion has nothing to do with going to hell. We should be following the right path and doing good things in life. Being sinful means we are doing bad things in life. Then it is fair that we don't deserve good ending. While no one are perfect we should strive to do good things in life. This will create positivity inside us, the world around us and the people who follow us.
I very much agree with you that its not the religion but the sin that separates us from God. Beautifully said!
