What happened in Jonah's day in Nineveh?
All those .... what?
Gentiles! Gentiles got saved!
The Ninevites were recipients of salvation!
In the age of Israel, all people were recipients of salvation.
Look at all the Egyptians got saved just before the Exodus!
The Jews were simply God's witness to the nations.
And, not all Jews became recipients of salvation.
Now... after I laid that out for you?
Ignore what was said, and tell me I did not answer your question .

This is what I believe the Apostle John was teaching to correct in the passage.
And now we know the answer to the question of who would be dumb enough to answer my question.
For that time, yes.
For the Jews were at that time the only ones who knew the Law, as to understand the things that involved atonement.
Next, had to come, the manifestation of the Cross (Atonement)..
Then, Jews were sent out to the whole world to tell everyone what Jesus had accomplished on the Cross, because they already understood atonement.
Prior to that?
A gentile only had to believe there is the Lord God to be saved.
Gentiles were nor required to know the Law after their regeneration. Only Jews were.
That is why Jesus (and Paul) went to the Jews first.
For the Jews, because of the Law, knew what salvation from sins entailed.
You think Noah (being a gentile) was not saved?
Well? He was not a Jew!
And, according to your thinking?
Could not be a recipient of salvation!

2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.
