what kind of God would put that person in hell because that person simply lived in a remote area. thanks for your answer

I don't believe God puts them in HELL. If they have never had the chance to hear about Jesus, I believe God will receive them, if they have lived a good life. They may never see God in all His Glory, as they would through a relationship with Jesus, but I don't believe they are sent to Hell.

I believe Hell is of our own making; when we turn ourselves away from the Light of Truth and keep making the choices that move us further away, unless we repent of our sins and work hard to get back, we consign ourselves to an eternal darkness, and we'll never see God. To me, that is Hell.

All our righteousness is as filthy rags - we can't "earn" our way in.

There's no middle-of-the-road. Sheeps or Goats, Hot or Cold, Saved or Unsaved, Wheat or Chaff.
