So I read you right that God didn't even try with people prior to Adam.
What a fascinating theological view. God created a bunch of hell-bound,
hopeless humans prior to 4004 BC. Wow. Did Jesus pay for their sins, or
would that have been a waste?
And given that Adam seems to be the first person capable of being saved, I
presume this means that those in Europe of that day --contemporaries of
Adam, weren't capable of being saved either. Is that correct? If not, why
were they capable but not their fathers? Your view seems so strange.
