When the great flood occurred there was no remedy or answer for the souls of human beings. That is to say everyone went to a place of torment to await judgment. Man was so evil and disobedient to God that He became angry at all mankind and nearly wiped us all out. The fact that He saved eight who respected and revered Him for the God that He is should let you know just how much He doesn't want mankind to be totally annihilated. His grace saved the eight then, Jesus saves all mankind now. God is a do as I say - Love your brother as you love yourself....and God is a do as I do - Forgive your brother...teach the world through love...and so much more!

In a way, yes. He is God over all and so judges what is good and what is evil. Many people forget that they are NOT GOD. They think that they are the ones to judge everybody and even their creator.
Heb 10:30-31
30 For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
(from New International Version)

The laws given to men are not for God. Just as a judge can order a criminal to be executed and the judge is not guilty of murder, so God can execute judgement on humanity and is not subject to those laws.

I'm with you on that one.
"The gods can either take away evil from the world and will not, or, being willing to do so, cannot; or they neither can nor will, or lastly, they are both able and willing. If they have the will to remove evil and cannot, then they are not omnipotent. If they can, but will not, than they are not benevolent. If they are neither able nor willing, then they are neither omnipotent nor benevolent. Lastly, if they are both able and willing to annihilate evil, how does it exist?"
..........Epicures, 300 B.C.

He is God, and His law to us does not apply to Him. If He thought that it was better to flood all evil people, then I accept it.

Yes.
This is a parent/child relationship. As soon as someone grows out of that stage, they usually discard monotheism.

um yeah. or he gives samson a gift to kill a thousand philistines, or gives david the courage and strength to kill goliath, and let the red sea cave in on moses' pursuers to ultimately kill them, or command a camp take a man and stone him for blaspheme. yet if we kill its sin and we will go to hell.
