Between Adam and Jesus, that is a lot of humans who lived and died ignorant of the will of god.
If you created a universe with a planet with intelligent life that you had a plan for wouldn't you give them the manual from, say, day 1? Instead of millennia later?

Sh*ts and giggles. What kind of god doesn't like a good joke at the expense of others? What god doesn't have the whole world as his TV screen, and sometimes it's sitcoms, sometimes it's drama, but mostly it's bullcrap?
No god I know.

God personally, told Adam what to do the first week of creation and he and Eve disobeyed. Then he gave the children of Israel the commandments after freeing them from bondage in Egypt and they disobeyed. Then, he sent Jesus who told us simply to love God and each other. People are still disobeying. The manual for living that God gave the people was His word. It is currently documented in the Holy Bible. How intelligent is this life of which you are speaking and how many read it? Sometimes, I wonder.

God has been preaching the Gospel throughout history to those who have ears to hear. Abraham came to understand that he was justified by faith in God. Job declared in the midst of his troubles "I know my Redeemer lives", David came to understand that he was justified by God on the basis of faith when he wrote "How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered."
I believe every honest seeker of truth, through the assistance of God's Holy Spirit, is brought around to the persuasion that 1) there must be a God 2) there is moral failure, and all are guilty before God.
3)Man is incapable of saving himself. 4) Because God is good, He Himself will provide the solution.
Some looked forward to the solution; today some look back, and find the answer in God's ransom, the Lord Jesus Christ.

No,He didn't.
The Old Testament is made up from books recording from Adam to Malachi.They were written by a wide variety of people,and it serves several purposes.The early Jews learned from these books.They were not all written and compiled 'millenia' later.
I don't know why you would think that God needed to drop His manual out of the sky.That's a silly idea.

People usually don't teach children things they can't understand. I believe GOD works in the boundaries of the laws laid out at the beginning of time, using evolutionary process, so had to wait for humanity to mature mentally enough before being taught. GOD made everything, and there is a time for everything.

the biggest concern you've gotten is credibility, because of the fact numerous circumstances people who're mentally unbalanced think of that Gd chosen them to offer a message. So while human beings hear somebody say that they have a message from Gd, they right away think of that that individual's unbalanced. possibly you are able to ask Gd the thank you to get human beings to have self assurance you.

Humans weren't ignorant of the will of God during that time. I recommend you read the Old Testament. It covers the covenant God made with Abraham and his descendants. The arrival of Jesus was the fulfillment of the promises God made to Israel.
The Bible is largely silent on what happened between the time of Noah and that of Abraham. The Bible does say that some of Noah's descendants were faithful to God, and it also refers to other men who were faithful to the One True God during Abraham's lifetime.
Anyone who tells you that people spent that time ignorant of the will of God has a very self centered view of The Bible, and has clearly chosen to ignore most of it.

Remember you are speaking of a God who, along with Adam, didn't warn Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Then He punished her much more vehemently than he did Adam. If it weren't a God, I'd suggest an examination for signs of Alzheimer's disease.

well, its pretty clear that no "god" has ever bestowed any useful knowledge upon man kind... All of the self proclaimed "holy" books are a poor, poor excuse for the word of "god".
All religious people should be ashamed of the myth and hearsay that they allegedly believe in.

You are again commenting against God, you Godless people on earth You have no basis in those bad and false comments. Better stop it because the way you expressed your thought could not convince people to join you, if ever there will be someone to join you. For your own sake, please read the bible to understand what we have understood.
