1. Before the creation of the world God had specifically chosen Jesus Christ as the savior and the redeemer of sins. It is a crucial aspect in the grand plan of God to reveal His glory. It was the very purpose of His creation. It is also the reason why Jesus Christ is so central in the greatest story ever told.

2. What is rather puzzling with the story is the time taken by Jesus Christ to fulfill his pre-ordained divine will. Somehow Jesus Christ took his own time and only came to save the descendants of Adam long after Adam had sin and infected every new born child of man with his sin. As if to Jesus Christ the glorification of God can wait and the plague of sin among mankind was not a grave matter.

3. What then is the fate of the untold numbers of the descendants of Adam who died before the crucifixion of Christ ? What is the status of their salvation? Do they go to heaven or to hell in the hereafter?

4. If by the grace of God the dead before Christ end up in heaven then why the need for any redemption of sin by Christ at all? Why even bother with sin and the consequences of sin in the first place when in the end everybody can all go to heaven? What’s Christianity for? Where then is the justice and wisdom of God if sinners are not disciplined and sentenced? What is there left to believe in? How then is God glorified?

5. If the dead before Christ end up in hell then is God just, merciful, compassionate and wise since their salvation rest solely on the redemption of sins by Christ? And they even include all the dead prophets of God too! How then is God glorified?

6. Come to think of it what about the salvation of the followers of Jesus Christ who died before his crucifixion? Where do they end up in the hereafter? Then again why Christ did not immediately redeem our sins at the earliest opportunity?

7. Stranger still Jesus Christ himself as well as all the prophets of God never utter a word about Adam nor about the tragic consequences of the sin of Adam neither about any redemption of sin by a pre-chosen lamb of God. A disquieting silence of the lamb. Why?
