As to those that haven't heard the word, this is why many support missionaries.
Your explanation doesn't do anything to change my point.
You're claiming all the Jews who didn't believe Jesus is the son of God before Jesus was born are in Heaven because they believed in God, but all the Jews who didn't believe Jesus is the son of God after Jesus was born aren't in Heaven despite believing in the same God.
Again, that is so abritrary and illogical it can only be the work of humans, not a god of "infinite existence."

As to the Trinity it is throughout the bible. We are told there is one God and God, Jesus, and the holy-spirit are all used to address his being.
My beliefs on those that perished never knowing the God of Abraham is clear; they cease to exist. My hope is God granted them their reward if their heart was true to their belief.
The "lake of fire" is reserved from those that were shown the word of God and rejected it out of pride or worse yet, mocked it.
So you're point is if you don't believe the Bible when you read the Bible ("approaches") you won't believe the Bible when you read the Bible ("find 'fault'")?
If you didn't approach Scientology so cynically, you wouldn't find fault with Scientology.
