When God flooded the earth, Jesus hadn't came as savior yet.

There is none living on earth today who have not had the opportunity to receive the Word of Truth at on time or the other through a Forerunner of the Truth. Therefore there is no excuse for anyone.
The story of Noah was to show what happens when men refuse to listen to His warnings. The justice of the Lord is not as one sided as you think because no one can receive a punishment when he does not deserve it.
Remember that the account did not talk about other inhabitants of the earth but specifcally spoke about the time of Noah.
Make the effort to understand the bible with your spirit for it is a spiritual work.

Lucky people.
Christianity teaches that, from before birth, you are scum and rubbish and an invisible god knows all you do and all you think, and you will be punished, not only in this life, but after death.
But god has given you an escape in his profound wisdom -- go and obey the (surprise, surprise!) Christian preacher.
If ever you want to be a little Hitler, become a preacher.
If ever you want freedom, walk away from religion.

If you read it tells us that the whole world was corrupted with murder, whoredoms, all manner of wickedness and as reason to cleanse the earth the flood came and destroyed everything that breathed on land except noah and his posterity. I dont think this world is as bad as that time but its suprising how fast we are going down hill and corrupting ourselves with the same manner of sin. The second coming of the savior will be another time of cleansing of the earth and all the wicked will be destroyed

Okay for starters, the story of Noah is considered to be a religious story inspired by the Babylonian story, the Epic of Gilgamesh. It is not to be taken literally but conveys a religious truth.

Ah, yes, what about all those millions of human beings--Asia, North and South America, Africa, islands all around the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, and so on and so on. Yes, how about them. Strange, is it not, that in Chinese arts of that era, and literature, paintings, and sculptures there are no mentions of the 'world' Flood?

Anyone who perishes without hearing the gospel is judged according to his or her works. God is a perfect judge and will take all things into consideration.
But that's not you, since you have heard the name Jesus Christ.

Before we were born Jesus died for all, so also, he died for all those dead.
The bible is for those alive Matt.24:3,14; to know of his second coming and the end of the world as all is made new again [ as last day, time of the end, time no longer ], ends Satan, 1Thes.5:1-9,21; To children of the light, Jesus does not come as a thief in the night, HIS WORD IS THEIR GUIDE
1Cor.15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the
resurrection of the dead. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even
so in Christ shall all be made alive. 15:23 But every man in
his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that
are Christ's at his coming. 15:24 Then cometh the end, when
he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his
feet. 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he
saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is
excepted, which did put all things under him. 15:28 And when
all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also
himself be subject unto him that put all things under him,
that God may be all in all.
Rom.5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly. 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will
one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to
die. 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 5:9 Much more then,
being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through him. 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Heb.9:27; It is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the
judgement. 2Cor.5:10; For we will all appear before Jesus.
Rom.14:9-12. Philip.2:5,9-12; Rev.20:1-6,12,13; 2Pet.3:13;
Rev.21:1-5; Jesus makes all things new and perfect for God in
his 1000 year reign and all perfect pass into the kingdom of GOD.

People are not "killed". We are Created beings that once created are eternal. We CHOOSE by Free will, and how we live our lives...where we want to spend that Eternity!
God's Word (the Bible) tell us that NO MAN has to tell you anything about our Creator, & His laws & ways,....they are written on your heart! They are written on everyone's heart! You do not have to hear about Jesus Christ, to KNOW that lying, cheating, stealing, adultery etc..are WRONG...you KNOW it! How? It is written in your DNA codes! People that have never heard of Jesus Christ are "Judged" by God alone, based on how they lived their lives, and the amount of "evidence" that was presented to them.

The Bible says that God is written on everyones heart. We are ALL accountable. It also says that he reveals himself through nature and other things. It's just that some choose to ignore it.
