Why Will Hell Be So Full?, hell Options

[ursula]

I hope someone can answer me cause I am very confused...Jesus died on the cross and suffered beyond ones wildest imagination..and yet it seems that half the creation either doesnt believe it or hasnt heard it or understood it...or wasnt taught about it...so it seems like such a precious waste to have to go through such suffering and so few acknowlege it...and yet as christians we believe that it is the only way to be saved from eternal damnation...so what about these people?? will they not go to heaven?? and have to go to hell?? and also what about the souls that lived before Jesus? what happens to them...I think there has to be another place they can go like maybe purgatory like the catholics believe...maybe they get a chance to hear the gospel...cause how could god send someone to hell whose never heard?????? i eagerly look forward to hear from you...
