First, Jesus didn't do away with the OT. He was the fulfillment of the OT. Now that Jesus has fulfilled the Law, there are some laws that we no longer are required to follow, as the book of Acts says in the passage that deals with the Jerusalem council. Laws such as eating of certain foods, circumcision, etc, are not required for Gentile Christians.
Second, there is a passage in Romans that deals with what may happen to people who never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. Romans 2:12-16 I think. Basically ,it says that people who had never heard of God still served him by their honest desire to do what was right, and by following the conscience God gave them. God does not send people to hell for unfair reasons. The thing is, I don't believe a lot people are as blind to the truth as they pretend. Surely they see the pain in the world that comes from disobeying the Bible, yet they ridicule me for pointing it out. I don't get the feeling they are truly looking for the truth when they act like they can't see what is obvious. I do believe that if one does honestly search for God, He will show himself to the person.
