Do Natives go to Hell?
  Summary: Everyone will give an account for the things they've done in their bodies. The
  Bible teaches that if a man seeks the truth then God will send him the truth. The
  problem with many people today is that they do not want to know the truth. Most people
  would rather live in their sin in an attempt to stay happy than believe and seek the gospel.
  Yes, natives who do not seek and believe the gospel and all other non-believers go to hell.
 
 


One reason why people decide to not believe the Bible and what is says about heaven, hell, salvation, etc. is the notion that there are natives in remote parts of the world who have never read a Bible and have never heard anyone mention Christ,. So, by their logic, for the natives to die and go to hell is unfair.

People hung up on this idea have, probably, never thoroughly studied the Bible to find an answer for this—maybe because such people like to have an excuse or reason not to believe in a God that judges people for sin. The answer is simple.

Everyone is born into this world with the knowledge that there is a God.

Psa. 19:1-3 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."

John 1:9
"That was the true Light [Jesus], which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."

Rom. 1:19-20
"Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible thing of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and God-head; so that they are without excuse."

Whether you are in Zimbabwe, Lewiston, Idaho, or anywhere else, you have to choose to seek the truth—to seek God. If a person is seeking, God will send him/her the answer. It takes faith to seek though. Both a pastor’s son in the US and the son of a native in Nigeria must have enough faith to seek and believe in something they cannot see.

Heb. 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him [God]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

Matt. 7:7-8
"Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find... For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth…"

Acts 17:30 "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:"
