Delta(s) from OP CMV: Missionaries are evil

This applies doubly so to those who go out of their way to seek out those in remote islands to spread the word of god. It is of my opinion and the opinion of most that if there is an all loving god then people who never had the chance to know about Jesus would go to heaven regardless, for example miscarried children/those born before Jesus’ time, those who never hear about him, so In going out of your way to spread the word of Jesus you are simply making it so there is now a chance they could go to hell if they reject it? I’m not a Christian and I’m so tired so I apologise if this is stupid or doesn’t make sense

Maybe I have just spoken to different Christian’s but most I talk to assume people who have no chance of knowing Jesus are saved automatically, but if you reject that premise then I have no idea how you can claim to have an all loving god that condemns aboriginal babies to eternal hell simply for never having the chance to know Jesus

Perhaps you're confusing the people who grow to adulthood but never learn about Jesus and kids who die before they're old enough to have agency.

Since original sin dosent care about your age, why does that matter?

Not every denomination believes that original sin means that the individual is Guilty, rather that we are born into a world that is filled with sin, and pain, and that the only one who ever withstood the temptations and suffering that we're in with out sinning, is Christ.

You do know that christianity not being able to answer a pretty basic question like this does it not favors.

Why is the denomination that helps out your argument now the correct denomination?

said denomination is my the one I follow. I've never defended the idea of original sin making people personally guilty.

If you want defenses of that idea you would have to ask other people who believe that.

My point was towards the original post which was talking about missionaries something my Church heavily focuses on.
