Wasn't 'the flood' in the bible supposed to wipe out all the evil people in the world and Noah's family as the only survivors supposed to be righteous?
So all those people were slaughtered and apparently nothing was fixed in the human race. So if 'god' sees all and knows all didn't he know killing all those people wouldn't help and Noah's family wasn't the 'hollier than though' good people he thought they were?
And, this having taken place in the old testament, 'god' then decided HE couldn't change people so, in the new testament, he shifts responsibility for changing people from himself to human beings by having his son die as a person and telling people, "ok, so now it's up to you". '
Well if 'god' can't change people how compassionate is it that he transferred that burden to human beings who he knew already were utterly weak and couldn't change themselves? Because he created these weak creatures and now expects them to have strength beyond his.
Before you pretend 'bible scholars' attempt to pontificate it is a rhetorical question.
For the guy that put a dam around his house good for him. I think it would be better to build a house on higher ground in a flood zone but some folks just like the low lands, I guess.
