And no one yet has even attempted to tackle the question of all those beings living in North and South America, not to mention countless other islands and lands who started dying after the events of Acts chapter 2?

I have a friend that I haven't seen in years who is a staunch Lutheran, Missouri (it is sometimes jokingly referred to as Misery) Synod, who was very much against abortion and believed that all those aborted babies went to hell because they were not baptized.

The "light doctrine) does address that problem.

Bishop G.T. Haywood in his book on The Resurrection says this concerning the second resurrection and Great White Throne Judgment of Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:31-46; John 5:28-29; and Revelation 20:11-15:

"In this resurrection is included all the righteous men of all
ages who walked in all the light that they were given. It is my candid
opinion that all heathen, Israelites, Christian professors who have
never heard the true gospel of Christ and those who die during
the millennium, walking in the light of their times will be given
eternal life at the last resurrection."

If God had created us and we cheerfully obeyed him at all times how can you say that doing so wouldn't be our choice? Therefore, cheerfully obeying God at all times doesn't make anyone a robot!

It's kind of like how everybody sins but you don't dare question that maybe we are robots that are programmed to sin. Nope you say sin is everyones choice. If sin is our choice then doing good would be our choice too. So if everyone did good then you ought to be consistent and say that if everyone does good then doing good is their choice just like you say if everyone sins then sin is their choice.
