There is no way that God's word reached EVERYWHERE and EVERYONE, immediately after Jesus' life. Let's say year 100; year 200 - etc. There's no way people spread out to Alaska, South America, North America. We can be pretty sure that the Spanish were the first to reach North America, and that was not until 1500s. Or let's allow that the Vikings reached the North East in year 1000. What about the Indians who were here before then? How did they hear 'The Word'? Sorry, not reasonable. So given that not everyone heard the word, how can you deny them entry to heaven just because they never heard the Word?
The Spanish were definitely not the first to reach North America. Vikings were here hundreds of years before that, and Irish were here early as well. People were getting around the world a lot more than you realize. There was routine trade between the Middle East and Cornwall, England 2,000 years ago.
And there's also direct revelation. Moses was given the Ten Commandments directly.
I'm not denying anyone. The Bible says Jesus is the only way, and the Bible has been proven correct in everything that has been able to be checked so far. I did find a typo in II Chronicles, but it was a single number. Read Lee Strobel's book about the Bible.
You've heard, so you don't have an excuse any more. Read and study the Bible. Start with the New Testament.
