If God is perfect and never makes mistakes, then why did He feel like He had to cause the flood and start over anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its not God doing all that evil, its humans . When they mocked christains and said Where was GOD in those shootings at parkland . My question was .............oh you mean the one society booted out of schools , the one society booted out of everything . When that happens.................EVIL FILLS THE VOID FAST . used to be lil kids years and years ago sang christain songs in school prayed in school, Boys knew they were boys and girls knew they were girls TAKE GOD out of everthing and no desire and He gives that person , nations and world over to a reprobate mind like I said used to be lil kids sang and were happy in school , knew real morals TOOK GOD out they thought would be the cure all. Rather odd though, now kids are depressed more than ever in place of songs are drugs , n place of prayer are SCHOOL SHOOTINGS MASSIVE . This world wont make it on the course it is on . I pray many come to Christ and fast before its too late . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If God is perfect and never makes mistakes, then why did He feel like He had to cause the flood and start over anyway? First, we should never blame God for what we humans do. He gave us the ability to decide for ourselves. As for the reason why God brought on the flood, you can read why in Genesis 6:5-8 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Flood was not God "starting over" in the sense of a student who erases a wrong answer on this paper and re-writes the correct one. The student acknowledged that he was wrong and took steps to fix it. God was not fixing anything that he did wrong. God was sending judgment upon a very, very wicked world that had serious demonic influences that led to total corruption. God did not err. Humanity did. If you want to make an analogy, you can compare this to a person in the old days getting an infestation of termites in a house that they so carefully built. They, not of their own mistake, had to burn the house down and rebuild. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Butero Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Genesis 6:1-8 "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. During the period of time leading up to the flood, angels came down from heaven in the form of men and married women. They had children that were a mix of man and angel, and these children were giants. This led to an escalation of sin and violence everywhere, so when God sent the flood, the main purpose was to destroy all of these human-angel beings, along with all the wicked people that were influenced by them. The Bible says of Noah that he was " a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God." That indicates his blood line was pure and he was also righteous in the way he lived. That doesn't mean he never did anything wrong, but he had a heart for God and did as well as a human is capable of doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipso Facto, anything that He does or does not do is perfect. Yahweh chose to make us in His image (not little cookie cutter gods) but with His attributes. One of those is freedom of choice. Thus, when we are free to do dumb stuff, He is free to wipe the slate clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Perfect in Judgment also, always, and in Mercy, in complete Harmony with ALL HIS WORD, ALWAYS. Amen, He is perfect............perfect in Love too, and in all our afflictions, He is afflicted. And He is able to repent and change His mind, as well as to be grieved. We have a high priest who IS touched with the feeling of our infirmities. And we are made in the image and likeness of God, so that is the reason we have feelings, it's just that our feelings like our imagination needs to be sanctified and brought under the perfect rule of Christ. Sticking my neck out here, but see if this is right brother.......as to why woman was created to be a helpmeet for Adam....because man alone was not good, he needed to be tempered, complemented, by woman who is more able to empathize. Together both man and woman would express the image of God. Each tempering the other, actually, with man leading....because woman alone is not good either. God is not flesh, He is Spirit, so He feels in a somewhat different way than us, His feelings are perfect. But it is worthy keeping in mind that His Son who is the exact radiance of the Father's being........laughed, cried, rejoiced, sympathized, loved.....He felt....perfectly. Which means not ruled by His feelings, but God ruled His feelings perfectly, and amen, in line with His perfect knowledge, wisdom, understanding. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
