If you see yourself as a prophet, why would you expect people to receive such a message? Few people listen to prophets. If you can do a little boy who cries wolf impression they will at least hear you a couple of times.

Really? I'm not coining a new phrase. Surely you know what an introduction is and the term elect engenders. There was no need to preserve a chosen people for Christ until after sin. Had Adam been successful, all humanity would have inherited life through him. Instead, all died in Adam. Hence...

I was referring to a particular passage in Romans 4.

You can have that now

As unlikely as this may sound, God is nearer to you than you imagine. Psalm 34:18 says that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are of a contrite spirit. It sounds like you are halfway there. Without any judgment on my part, perhaps a little soul-searching is in order...

You can believe as you will, but this passage is a poor proof text for the inclusion of all humanity in salvation.

I still don't see all humanity being spoken of here. What phrase suggests all of mankind?

I find that there are many who don't understand what it means to be dead to the law and alive unto Christ.

And get off his lawn.

I don't think so. Read the language again. The promise is to all who believe. Paul is addressing primarily faith versus the law, and not Jews versus Gentiles.

Isn't that a reference to Abraham's offspring...the children of promise.

Alligator rides are only guaranteed after lunch.

I already said: the introduction of the elect.

Conceptions means more births. What was God's purpose in increasing births beyond filling the earth?

For someone who poses thought experiments, I wonder at your impatience. But perhaps after sin, God introduces the elect into humanity.
