Religious people demanded the death of Christ.
"And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! John 19:14-15
Religious people murdered Stephen.
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, as he was calling upon God, saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge! And when he had said this, he fell asleep.Acts 7:58-60
This murder was committed after Stephen had laid out a total history of redemption?

"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:"
There is no respect of persons with God.
"For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; showing the work of a universal law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
BIBLICAL TRUTH FLASH! God shall judge these secrets of the heart by Jesus Christ according to the Gospel of Grace." Romans 2:11-16

Somewhere in Romans it is written what happens to men who do not have Torah/ don't have or haven't had a Bible or Teaching (about Jesus).
Surprisingly , it is written in Romans who it is who is JUSTIFIED BY THE CREATOR, and who it is who is NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE CREATOR.
This is not generally nor specifically known by most religous people at all.

What about Those Who Never Heard of Christ?
Question: The best argument I know of to discredit Jesus is His statement, “I am the way…no man comes to the Father but by me.” There are billions of people alive now and who have lived in the past who never even heard of Christ and Christianity. And they’re all damned? Response:There are also hundreds of millions, if not billions, who have heard the gospel of Christ and have rejected it. How do we know that those who haven’t heard would believe if they did hear? God knows who would and who would not believe, and we may be certain that He will somehow get the gospel to everyone who would embrace it.
Jesus said, “Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it and was glad” (John 8:56). Yet Abraham grew up in paganism, out of which God called him. If God could do that for Abraham, He can do it for anyone.
Romans 1:18-32 states that every person knows from the universe around him that a God of infinite power is man’s Creator, and yet the vast majority of people have rejected that revelation and indulged in idol worship and gross immorality and “are without excuse.” Romans 2:14,15 adds that every person knows in his conscience that he has violated God’s laws and is under God’s judgment. All those who, under conviction of conscience by the Holy Spirit, cry out to God in repentance for His salvation will, in one way or another, be given the gospel.
More/ARMOR-UP!
