Doubtful. He may have known that would occur, but that is different from intended.

Post #11 sort of answers this. You have to think back to understand this question, initially all of mankind did know God, once you back it up to the very beginning first 2 humans. Those that chose to turn their backs on God doomed themselves and their entire generational line, unless individuals within it were able to come to God through happenstance (missionaries, etc).

I see this accusation a lot, and it's natural to feel angry at God and blame him, but you cannot forget the role that their ancestors took, and exclude them from blame. A good analogy is some parents with children, whom decide to cross a large desert without food or water. Their actions may doom themselves and their children.

Some may consider this part of a generational sin thing, which you're not accountable for, but I'm not sure if it applies in this situation. I have also heard others say that those that never had a chance to know God/Christ still have a chance at salvation, if they lived a "Christ-like" life. I haven't really seen any scripture to back up "only Christ-like behavior", though, and plenty that contradicts such a viewpoint.

So let's break this down for a moment, some people will blame God, and accuse him of being "mean/evil/whatever", but what have you done to rectify the situation? Perhaps this is even more of a reason and calling to do missionary work to help save these people, and if you get down to the nitty gritty, perhaps the only person to blame is yourself for doing nothing to help these people.It's like standing by and watching people die in a fire, when perhaps you could have ran in and saved them, or helped to put out the fire. Use that passion for a good purpose!

God is not relative.

For example, people seem to think they can make up their own gods tailored to their liking in these times.

But they won't accept the real one.

Exactly, you think you can pick and choose, but those ones aren't real.

And when Yahweh comes back to this planet and sends them out to haul you in, they will know your heart.

telling me to observe a culture that doesn't even exist anymore not only is impossible it doesn't explain how you know all other gods are fake while the christian one is real

Because He's the one who did all the stuff. He's the only one who people literally saw. The only one who is actually physically real & has any impact.

Not only that, but Jesus was sent down to this planet 2000 years ago, to make a way for us sinning humans to be reconciled.
