In response to Jeremy’s comment. I agree with him and that was a point I raised. In the conversation however, he explained that what he defined as “the law” was any commandment given to man by God.

“Abel” Sacrifice to God.
“Noah” Build an ark. However, where Jeremy is right on I think is that even before God told Noah to build an ark Noah was living justly before God. We take for granted God gave him no commands at that time or that God did. It’s a good point and definitely a valid one. Good thinking Jeremy.
