1. I don't necessarily even agree with TR (not sure what he's saying). But purely in response to your question, what about Melchizidek (he was IIRC a Canaanite?) and those under his priesthood? Although I guess that would be another example of a particular revelation rather than more general natural revelation.

2. Well the person of Christ wouldn't be, but I guess if you argue that a perfect God (minus the particulars of Christianity) is self-evident, then forgiveness would be part of that God's nature and so sinners should have some sort of innate desire to look to that God for forgiveness.
You are meddling

I just want to make sure TR understands what he promoting. I don't know any other Christian denomination apart from Mormonism that teaches something similar to OP.
Could be he belongs to a fringe group aka Saved Mormons or other outbreaks from the original.

About Melchizedek... ok... same question but POST Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek, right?). Melchizedek also had the religion of Adam didn't he, and was ordained to the same priesthood as that of Adam, Noah, Enoch. Obviously the saving ordinances were taught these men and their followers. Enoch even attained it while still living - with his entire city.
Let's focus on the general Northern European in the same time period.. or South African, Chinese, Aborigine, Polynesian or Native American? Someone not living in the general middle eastern areas - where some knowledge might have been spread.

Minus the bible what have you? ... Find a story in the bible where god's people weren't taught by either prophets or angels before coming to a knowledge about their God.
It even states in the bible that this method existed - that previously they were taught by prophets, who got it from angels or God directly. (Hebr 1)
If these things were self evident.. why the need for prophets?
