Stick to the topic of Jesus declaring the new covenant in His blood with His disciples
Gods Inability to save

I certainly do!!
GOD offered the covenant of election and salvation to anyone / everyone who wanted to join HIS family and live within HIS holiness before the foundation of the world!
Some of HIS creation chose to accept HIS gospel of election and salvation and indeed become HIS elect, HIS sheep. Others rebuked HIM as a liar and a false god and were condemned as reprobate on the spot.
Then some of HIS elect sheep went astray into sin themselves but as under HIS promise of salvation found in their election they were never condemned for their lapse into sinfulness, Jn 3:18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. while those who rebuked HIS offer and HIS Divinthy as lies were condemned already from then on, Jn 3:18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
As you asked, I think this all happened before the foundation of the world and those who are sinners are all sent here to earth for the perfection of HIS sheep gone astray into sinfulness thru Christ and HIS great mercy for us...

I am, for I believe the New Covenant is the Everlasting Covenant being made known in time. The Everlasting Covenant has always been in operation, for David spoke of it on his deathbed as it was made known to him 2 Sam 23:5
5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
Jesus is the surety of that Covenant
