words change through way of the years, that is why Shakespeare is so annoying to study in the starting up. only as an get jointly, at the same time as Juliet asks "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore paintings thou Romeo?" she is wondering why he had to be born a Montague, now no longer the position he's. "Thou shalt now no longer kill" is more desirable like "Thou shalt now no longer commit first degree homicide" in twentieth century English. between distinct subject matters, that shall we infantrymen off the hook; also the Jews interior the previous testomony, at the same time as they have been in a conquering mood. a good type of the Bible is internally consistent. The King James is has some superb strains, yet you want to study a favourite translation too; that or take a route that teaches you the thanks to study Elizabethan English. the realm about pi being 3.0 decrease back then is flat incorrect, though, and, at the same time as there develop right into a flood of a few style, it did now no longer cover each and each of the earth.

He killed all of mankind because mankind at that time were EVIL!!! And if He did not do that, when the world comes to an end we would all go to HELL, because we would just be as evil as them!!! Plus, He promised never to kill mankind again. He tells us not to kill others because we have actually no reason to kill people, unless you're a cop and you need to hang a guy or something. Also, he did not exactly kill ALL of mankind. He actually saved a family of eight, because they were the only good ones around, and they could reproduce babies and mankind would not be extinct.

First, remember WHY God allowed the flood- it was because evil was rampant on earth...and evil was rampant because He gave us Free Will.
As the Author of Life, God has a right to do as He sees fit...and allow disasters to happen.....we will never know 'why' this side of Heaven.
Why do we hear "thou shall not kill?" Because we have no right to take the life of an innocent human being. None whatsoever....no matter if that human is one cell.....or 100 years old.

Key word: THOU....you shall not kill(murder).
He is all-knowing: all of the people who died were evil. He chose to have a clean slate. By the way: He didn't kill ALL mankind; those who were faithful to Him lived: Noah, his wife, their sons & wives.
JACKBAUER: Option #3:
God is perfect. He cannot accept anything less. If He did, He would be contradicting His Word. And, He doesn't do that, regardless of what you think.
The only way I'm gettin' to heaven (and anyone who does)is I have a perfect proxy: Christ.

God is soverign; we are not. Eight people were saved in the ark. Although God was within his rights to kill the remainder of mankind for their utter corruption, he was grieved by the act and promised never to destroy mankind with a flood ever again. The ark is a picture of Jesus the Christ. In the same way that the eight people were saved via the ark, anyone who commits themselves to him will be saved.

God is the only One who is qualified to judge. We see things from a temporal, finite perspective, and only from the outside. God sees things from an eternal, infinite perspective, and He sees the very heart and motives of people's actions and attitudes. So when God sends judgement, it is justified. (How can a finite being even begin to understand an infinite eternal Being? So don't even try to look at God as though He were mortal!)
You can either try to redefine God based on your limited, finite understanding of the Scriptures, or you can try to understand the Scriptures with an understanding of what God says about Himself: God is first, holy, and can NOT tolerate sin - even the smallest amount of sin must be judged. Second, God is Love, and all He does is for the highest good of His creation as a whole.
Furthermore, God gives life, and we don't have the right to take that life from another person.

That was in the Old Testament. We are now living in the New Testament. Why do so many People question God?
You don't have to believe it, You just have to do it.
If there is a knock at the door, and everything has come to an end, not that that is how it is going to happen, would You be ready?

Mankind at different times have brought the judgement of God on themselves.
A good example is the death angel in Egypt. God provided a way for the His people to be spared. But they had to do what God asked them to do.
It is no different today God provided the Lamb all He asked us to do is accept Him.

Don't confuse judgement with premeditated murder.
Thou shalt not kill actually translates as, "Thou shalt not murder.
The Flood was God's first worldwide judgement, the next will be by fire....

He didn't kill all of mankind. There were some left. And he said "Thou" not I.
