I said "I think God cares of all people". It means, I think God cared also people before Jesus.But the above avoids answering he simple question as didn't God care about people before Jesus' time and in areas of the world that didn't or don't know anything about him?
I think this is answer for that:And what about people who behave morally and compassionately in other religions or who are nontheistic?
For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it isn't the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified for when Gentiles who don't have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their con-science testifying with them, and their thoughts among them-selves accusing or else excusing them in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Gospel, by Jesus Christ.
Romans 2:12-16
