Prove that there have been people who have died (since Jesus death and resurrection) who have not heard of him. So far you're making claims but you have no proof. You have no evidence that proves they were never given the option of choosing Jesus. If God sent an angel to tell Mary she was pregnant, He could just as easily tell some guy on a remote island about Jesus.

...Yeah. However, God also told people to spread the good word amongst all the peoples of the world so that he didn't have to/because he was busy/had an appointment with his angelic commission on hair length and its effect on his cherubim.
I'm pretty sure North and South American natives, along with Australian aboriginals and the entire Polynesian population of the Pacific islands, knew nothing of Jesus until missionaries came upon their shores.

This seems like trying to twist the doctrine that all who didn't hear of the Gospel in life will go to hell. instead of making some obfuscated and clumsy rationale, why not have a new doctrine that would fit into the idea of a loving God: that those who didn't hear the Gospel aren't going to hell just because of that?

10-20 generations of Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Inuit and various other American Natives would disagree with you.
maddog quote: "I have heard of this Jesus character, and personally, I think I would have been better off without this knowledge."
Just more than 90% of the humankind. As far as I´m concerned, America, Asia and many other continents, Europe included, were not proselytised but after many years after Jesus´s death and resurrection. That makes a fairly big sum of people, doesn´t it?
Confused?
