Something I've been thinking about lately. I'll start off with a few key points.
1) God doesn't send to hell those who have never heard of Jesus. It wouldn't be just. Suppose there is a village of people over in Asia who've never heard of Christianity, never heard of Jesus or concept of sin. They can't be held accountable for rejecting Christ, because they never heard of Him before. It even says in Revelation that Christ wouldn't return until all have heard the gospel.
2) By exposing people to the gospel, you give them the opportunity to reject God, therefore sealing their fate in the bowls of hell.
So basically, less people would get sent to hell if the Christian religion were to die out, because a just God wouldn't judge people as though they rejected Him, when they were never given a clear opportunity to form an opinion on the matter.
Does this not mean that ultimately, spreading the 'Word of God', according to its own beliefs, results in more people being eternally damned???
