How do you explain a catastrophe as huge as a flood that wipes out all living things within your realm of experience? You are living in the Tigris Euphrates river valley. There are no dams to control the rivers. One day it starts to rain. And it continues to rain. The ground becomes saturated, lakes and rivers overflow. The flood continues to grow, wiping out villages, drowning animals, killing everyone and everything you've ever known.

But there are survivors, the valley is once again inhabited. How do you explain this? As far as you knew, the entire world was covered in water... someone must have made a boat, it's the only logical explanation. How did he know? God must have told him. But what about the animals? They didn't have boats. Oh, God must have told the man to gather up mating pairs of every kind of animal. That would explain how everyone and everything could be wiped out in a flood yet still survive to repopulate when the flood waters receded.

The old testament is a collection of stories handed down to explain how certain things happened. For example, if you know a baby is created from a man and a woman, and each of them were created the same way, then it follows that there was an original man and woman that started it all. But how did they get here? God made them. That's how you would explain anything that you couldn't explain because of your limited knowledge at the time. Remember, most of, if not all of the Bible was written by scholars that believed the world was flat. Enjoy the stories, learn from the lessons, but don't take it too literal.

The Biblical account of the flood says that God brought down the flood as a result of he sinfulness of mankind. Only Noah was righteous enough to be saved, along with his family. So God commanded him to build an ark. He was told to let five of each ritualy clean animal and two of each ritually unclean animal onto the ark. The flood then destroyed humanity after forty day and forty nights of rain, and anfter forty days and forty nights more Noah's ark was beached atop mount Ararat in eastern Turkey.
God demanded a burnt offering from Noah, and then promissed not to ever destroy humanity in this way again, giving the rainbow as a reminder of this covenant.
This Biblical story is probably based on the much older Sumerian flood story in which the chief god An grows tired of the noisey and troublesome mass of humanity and resolves to wipe them out with a flood. However, Enki, the god most friendly to humanity, warns a man called Utnapishtim to build a boat to save himself and his family. When An discovers what has happened he is furious, and threatens to wipe out An and his family. However, Enki creates disease and famine to ensure that humanity never again grows too numerous, and An allows Utnapishtim to live.

there have been 2 thoughts that were clumsily merged into one. between the thoughts got here from the priestly type which promoted the idea that the actual priesthood of God did not commence until eventually Aaron. Their tale in touch actually one pair of each and every animal. the different tale, informed via a collection that did not tie the priestly custom to a particular human being, suggested that seven pairs of unpolluted animals were extra with a view to have sufficient for sacrifices. examine the tale intently. you'll locate many more effective examples that make it clean 2 separate thoughts were basically merged into one without replacing conflicting information.

He caused the flood because the earth was primarily full of sin. He made sure there were male and female of each animal. After all was over He then made the rainbow as a promise that he would never destroy the world by flood again.

And, yes, I agree it would serve us right if he destroyed us all again, but with the new covenant created when Jesus died for us, we have our sins wiped away through Him. He sees we are not perfect, but trying.

Because Noah's family was the only rightious family @ the time. So God flooded the earth to get rid of the evil people on earth, he had two off each animal, so that they could mate and make more because the rest of the animals were killed.

They say that the next time God does something like that, he won't come by water, he'll come by fire

First God almighty did not bring any flood upon us. We as Gods creation did as we are the creators of our own reality. We know by the using Quantum Physics that it is us that create our own reality by collapsing the energy field that we are in. Every thing is all energy in a vibration and when we observe it then we collapse the field which in turn creates matter and reality. We as Gods children are fully responsible for what goes on around us and God or what ever you may want to call it experiences thru us as he is us. So if we as a social consciousness continue to live as a low energy vibration (negative energy) then yes we can do it again. The animals that went into the ark as two by two symbolizes the duality in which this dimension dwells in that we use to create. This is not saying that they didn't go into the ark

The world was too full of sin and God needed to clean it up. There will never again be a global flood and God promised that with the first rainbow.

because some angels came to earth and had children who were the nephalim and went about causing havock. plus the state of mankind was so depraved true worship was risking desruction. so God had noah build an ark and preach about he coming vengence but no one listened. the animals gathered were in 7's if they were clean and 2's if they were unclean. the flood came, mankind was destoyed but for noah and his family. the angels who had come to earth returned to heaven but were not allowed back into it and were banished and then became some of the demons who follow satan.

Read the bible. You will find out that there were a lot of sinners and God only wanted to save the good people. He did not want to kill of all species of animals either so he told Noah to get 2 of each animal. He will not do that again, as his son Jesus died to save us from that fate.
