A large # of people have died without ever being introduced to the christian god. What happened to their souls?
Doesn't the bible say that the only way to heaven is through Geezus and that they have to accept their lord and saviour? If they do not know that they need to do this for eternal life why would they be damned to hell? Is there a 4th option heaven hell purgatory and ???????. Isn't a soul eternal. Maybe St. Peter explains it to them at the gate and they are given a choice?
Debbie: God Strike me? Sounds like you have judged me and pray that god finishes the job.
Romans 2:1 1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
also "...sinned without the law...perish without the law" If perish without means going to hell the law says have no gods before me but if you are not aware of this god you cannot comply so why be punished. Just one more reason why this god should stop in once in awhile and perform a public miracle.

Good question:
New International Version (©2011)
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
New Living Translation (©2007)
I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
English Standard Version (©2001)
And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Are proofs that people who live a good life, but still do not know God Jehovah will NOT be punished but
will be given another chance in Jesus' 1000 year rule, when he will bring the other good sheep who will hear his voice.

Do you really want the truth? The soul is the person. It does not depart from the body, that is false. If we are living we are a living soul. When we die we are a dead soul. As for heaven it is not mankind's home, the earth is. Only a few chosen ones are selected to rule with Jesus in heaven. The rest of the dead either stay dead or are in God's memory and he restores them to life again by a resurrection. This happens after God takes all man's governments off the earth and begins the heavenly government to replace it with.
Dan 2:44) “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;
Genesis 2:7 states: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” The first man, Adam, was a soul.
The understanding that the word “soul” can mean the whole person is supported by other scriptures. For example, the Bible speaks of a soul’s doing work. (Leviticus 23:30) The soul is spoken of as being impatient, irritated, sleepless, fearful, and depressed. (Judges 16:16; Job 19:2; Psalm 119:28; Acts 2:43; 1 Thessalonians 5:14) Referring to a soul as a person, Romans 13:1 states: “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities.” And at 1 Peter 3:20, we read: “In Noah’s days, . . . a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” Nothing in these scriptures indicates that the soul is some immaterial entity that lives on after death.
What about animals and plants? Are they souls? Consider how the Bible describes the creation of animals. “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls,” God commanded. On the next creative day, God said: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.” (Genesis 1:20, 24) Therefore, all living creatures—human or animal—are souls. Scripturally, plants are not referred to as souls.

I read that christianity is just developed from very old Germanic pagan religions and that tribes used their gods name as a war cry Godan that was shortened to God. It does make sense that religions are developed off of other ones for instance there is the devil/satan in both Christianity and Islam. Also there is an end of the world which is a great war between good and evil in Christianity the battle of Armageddon the god and the devil fight and in the old norse religions there was ragnarok in which Odin and fenris or thor and jormungandr. Notice how both religions contain what appear to be different versions of the events just like there are different versions of folk tails. In conclusion no one knows not Christians or athiests,

The WBS gets a great number of issues approximately Christianity incorrect. I had no concept of this till I walked out of the dominion corridor right into a actual church I comprehend why the WBS tells ambitious confronted lies approximately different church homes, they does not if their own faith wasn't so fragile. Direct answer to your question is not any not a single Christian Denomination teaches that Baptism is needed for salvation,we are saved by Grace not works

Acts 24:15
Amplified Bible
Having [the same] hope in God which these themselves hold and look for, that there is to be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous (the just and the unjust).

@Ksean, did you have some kind of brain injury that caused you to go back on the evolutionary scale? For a skeptic and critical thinker to accept the existence of a god can only mean you've lost any critical thinking skills you may have once had.
