What kind of God is so cruel that He divides His creation into those who lived before 33 and those after, and only focuses on one tiny corner of the globe???

Talk about arrogance...

'So then, just as through the trespass of one man judgment came upon all people, so through the righteousness of one man's act the justification that leads to life comes to all people.' Basically, what I'm saying is everyone—from the very first person to the absolute last—is going to find salvation through Jesus. God's the one who controls the clock, after all.

Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even if they die." Honestly, isn't God's whole point to make sure we get that eternal life instead of just dragging out these few decades we spend wandering around on Earth? It's like, the consequences of sin, sickness, and food shortages have to actually play out so we can see what happens when we drift away from God. And let's be real, God is trying to heal us from something way more lethal than any disease or famine you'll find in the States—He's targeting the worst fallout of sin, which is selfishness. Because unless we're cured of that specific sickness, how are we supposed to live with God forever?
