If we are such a small percentage of earth's history, would it have mattered if Jesus had come 2000 years later? Then the Sermon on the Mount, for example, could have been uploaded to the internet and there would be no argument about what he said. Why did the active bits need to be 2-3 years in the first part of the CE? Of course many would still reject his message, but millions, maybe billions more would have been saved!

That doesn't make sense. Say I want to go out on the weekend and feed homeless people, but I know that 50% won't take it. Why punish the other 50%? Is it because it hurts my feelings? That's not very God like.

Again. Why couldn't God/Jesus wait a nano-second in the scale of time to have his words and message stored and delivered on a much cheaper, easier to transmit and eliminate any debate over translation.

He came when he decided it was time to come. One could ask why God saved only the Jews and not the Hittites? Why not the Amorites? He did what he did for his reason.

No, I wouldn't liked it if He came about a decade ago as many billions of people before have found it easier to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior by dying on the cross and not having to sacrifice their animals for their sins plus we would not have the bible which is our guide to walking withe Lord.

A question that's been asked since the growth of modern media. It was part of the 1970 rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar". The writers had the spirit of Judas asking Jesus those questions in the song "Superstar". (Which became a top-twenty hit record.)

God says He will save all mankind because Christ gave Himeself a ransom for all mankind (see 1 Timothy 2:4-6; 4:10,11).
