Summary
The question of whether or not people who have never heard of Christ will go to hell is an emotionally laden one, but the answer to it is found in the first chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans. Paul explains that God's anger is directed against a human race that has become ungodly and unrighteous, and that Christ is sent into a world that is already on the way to hell. He does not punish people for rejecting Jesus, but rather, they are guilty of rejecting the Father whom they do know.
