Noah Genocide

It is hard to understand why God would wipe out the human race bar one family, if it’s not understood within the context of what was actually going on. Out of context - it looks as though God got really miffed one day with the human race and decided to push the big re-set button on us all – out of context it looks cold, brutal, an act of anger and hatred…

BUT in context – the fact is biblically God is patient, long suffering beyond comprehension. Time and time again as you know God warns the people sending Prophets that more often than not are killed – I’m talking years, sometimes hundred’s of years of warning - "if you don’t stop this madness then I will put a stop to it’. from what historians understand, the people in the time of Noah (which can be studied biblically and extra-biblically) were out of control (child sacrifice, incest was common practise, lawlessness etc) it would seem if they were not stopped, i.e. if God had not stopped them, it would have been the end of the human race – God had to step in and rescue the human race.

So within context, the flood was a rescue mission for the human race – we know how loving God is in our own lives bro, for God to move so severely it had to be at the point of no return. He has never done so again, the only other time it will in a sense happen again will be judgement day, and again… God has been warning of that one for 2 thousand years! In context – God loves us, he’s our Father and just like a father, he will act out of love and do whatever he knows is necessary to protect that child, whether the child understands the situation or not.
