Isn't that [eternal Hell] what Scriptures say will happen if you are not redeemed?

Yes, but why would you assume the Khmer's victims were irredeemed?

Because Christianity was rare in Cambodia at the time the Khmer murdered 2 million Cambodians.

We believe in a just and merciful God. Overly-literal readings of the Scripture tend to reduce God to something less.

So when scripture says no one shall enter the Kingdom but through Jesus, that isn't true?

All enter heaven through Jesus, He provided that path to the Father by dying on the cross.

But not all have known Jesus or the Father here on Earth. Doesn't matter though, they will know them soon enough if the Lord decides that meeting is warranted.

Of course it's true. I just don't believe that the matter hinges on who happens to say a "sinners prayer", but rather on whose hearts God draws to Him. If God chooses to call an ignorant bushman who's never heard of Jesus. why should I complain? It is still Jesus, still the Cross that makes it possible for any of us to be given the grace of salvation.

God will sort that out. My pastor tells us continually that nobody will be in Heaven who shouldn't be there and nobody will be in hell that shouldn't be there. There are many mysteries in the Bible to which only God knows the answer. He knows their hearts, we don't.
