If God loves us, why does he send us to hell?

You are thinking of Godly things in a humanly manner. God tells us NO ONE goes to Hell that does not deserve (choose) to be there. That is one of those faith things.

No one is accidentally in Hell or in Hell because of simple lack of communication. My God is everywhere, even where the places where the Gospel has not reached yet.


God may be in these places, but the bible is clear, that Jesus Christ is the only way to the father, so if Christ has never been heard about, nor the gospel preached, how are they saved....?

Is there another gospel other than Christ I haven't heard about?

nope...

faith in God is the answer...faith in knowing that God's Will is accomplished despite physical impossibilities. If this bothers you so much maybe missionary work is in your future...get out there and spread the Word.

There are too many Christians who just set back and worry about things like this, but make no effort in doing God's work in this area.

Do you really care if a person who does not get the chance to hear the Gospel goes to Hell? Or are you just making conversation.

Let's see, in the 80- early 90's I did mission work in Africa and Borneo working with several different missions, total of 8 trips. In the early 2000's I did mission work in Java. I've posted about these trips here for years... I also worked with "Doctors without Borders" in South America, not as a Doctor, but a previous paramedic.

The rest of what you said makes no sense.

I don't understand the weakness in faith then.

It's not a weakness in faith issue, it's the teaching of biblical doctrine that without Christ and the gospel you go to hell, that deems the majority of mankind to hell.

When Christ said "no man comes to the father except through the son" when did it have effect, when he said it? The earth was mostly populated then, again it took 400 years after Christ said that until the gospel reached Europe, another 1000 until it reached the America's....hundreds of millions died never hearing?

Even today many haven't heard. Several of the tribes we worked with had religion, but not Christ, they were moral, but not Christian.

In one area all the missions were thrown out, the tribes became confused at the different teachings and traditions of different denominations and decided the old way was better.

The bible says Christ is the only way, but seems man has created many doctrines to try to explain away the gospel. For instance, children that die get a pass "age of accountability", so Christ isn't the only way, we have the gospel of accountability. Some declare God's creation is clear and man has no excuse, the gospel of creation, but that isn't Christ.
Others say God will be fair and work it out, have faith....so yet another gospel, the gospel of fairness or faith......It appears Christ isn't the only way.

Even in nations that have heard the gospel, most born will follow the culture and religions of parents, Islam, Buddist, Hindus, etc... Seems the gospel is more the luck of the draw where you're born.

God does not send us to hell. We choose to go there by rejecting His gracious gift of salvation.

no one chooses to go to hell, thats rediculous thing to say. No one "rejects" his gift of salvation either, there are many people who dont belief in god, and for good reason, and they dont believe that salvation is even a real thing, so its not like they are purposely rejecting it and choosing to go to hell, they just have no reason to believe t even exists.

With salvation, God offered His only Son, as a gift of grace, so that you may have the CHOICE to accept forgiveness for your sin, and be sinless, so you're able to be dead to sin and alive in Christ, and enter heaven.

If you don't believe, then that's your own ignorance, which is never an excuse to do something wrong and get away with it.
By being hard hearted and close minded, you are CHOOSING to reject God's gift to you.

And thus, choosing not to go to heaven. Or, simply, choosing to go to hell.
