The Biblical God flooded the entire world and killed everyone except Noah and his family! So...?

Question

When did SATAN ever do anything so abominably evil??? I mean, God killed every child on Earth, every man, every woman, even the poor animals (except the lucky few on the ark)! If this doesn't scream MURDER to you, what WOULD??? Aparently nothing is evil if God, I should say "God", does it. If there was a verse in the Bible saying it was o.k. to have sex with kids, I bet there would be believers out there doing it, and with no sense of wrongness, either! To some people, if "God" (Jehovah) says up is down and left is right, they'll go right along with it... The slave-owners defended their use of slave-labor with Biblical quotations, and they were perfectly correct when they said the Bible justified their actions. They were just wrong to believe the Bible COULD justify them! OOOOOOOOHHHH, I'm steamed....

Answer 1

Satan the Devil is to blame for every human death which has ever occurred.

The Scriptures teach that God currently tolerates Satan's killing of humans; Satan kills by means of Adamic sin, debauched conditions in Satan's world, and personally or by demons.

(Job 1:12-19) Jehovah said to Satan: "Look! Everything that [Job] has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not thrust out your hand!" So Satan went out away from the person of Jehovah. 13 Now it came to be the day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother the firstborn. ...18 [A servant of Job] came and proceeded to say: "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother the firstborn. 19 And, look! there came a great wind from the region of the wilderness, and it went striking the four corners of the house, so that it fell upon the young people and they died.


The Scriptures teach that Satan is inclined to kill humans, and prevent the salvation of individuals.

(John 8:44) You are from YOUR father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him.

(1 Peter 5:8) Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.


If Adam and Eve had never sinned, the Scriptures teach that they never would have died. When Satan targeted Eve and Adam to become sinners, Satan knew that mankind would NOT continue to have everlasting life. Thus Satan is really to blame for every human death that has ever occured.

(Genesis 2:16,17) Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: "From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die."

(Genesis 3:1) Now the serpent... began to say to the woman: "Is it really so that God said you must not eat from every tree of the garden?"

(Romans 5:12) Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin


Jehovah is eager to undue everything that the Devil has done, and Jehovah has assigned Jesus Christ to perform this restoration. It will be accomplished soon.

(1 John 3:8) The Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil.

(1 Corinthians 15:21) For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man.


Those who do not believe that the earth will be restored to Edenic paradise conditions seem too-quick to believe that a lowly creature (such as Satan) could actually CHANGE the divine purposes of Almighty Jehovah God. Jehovah put mankind in paradise earth, and Jehovah will make sure that mankind lives forever in paradise earth, despite a delay which will seem more and more momentary as human lifetimes extend toward infinity.

(Isaiah 65:17-25) For here I am creating new heavens and a new EARTH; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart. ...21 And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. 22 They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full. ...25 The wolf and the lamb themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull [caps added]

(Revelation 21:1-4) And I saw a new heaven and a new EARTH; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. ...Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. [caps added]

(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'

Answer 2

You are looking at things from the standpoint of an imperfect human creation.
Jehovah God is the supreme ruler of the whole universe.We cannot begin to have the same level of understanding as He does.
Having said that,Jehovah allowed some fifty years for Noah and his family to build this ark.And during the building of it,the Bible also tells us that Noah was a preacher(2Peter2:5).So these ungodly men and women had plenty of time to repent and be saved along with Noah and his family.You must remember that this was a very violent and wicked time.The Nephelim had filled the earth and their influenze had spread to all parts.Things were that bad that Jehovah "felt regrets that he had made man in the earth"(Gen.6:6).Jehovah felt regret that men had taken a wrong course and that every inclination of their thoughts was only bad.
Just as wicked men prior to the Flood could make Jehovah feel regret,so the abominable deeds now done before Armageddon make men of good will sigh and cry.
Jehovah takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked,so he felt regret when he saw the need of executing them and it brought grief to him to him to have to bring on the Flood.But Jehovah did not regret having made the earth and purposing it to be inhabited.So just as the days of Noah,there is a world wide preaching work going on.And in his due time Jehovah will once again bring about the destruction of all wickedness.But this time we have the assurance that this will be the last time.Satan and his demons will be destroyed and the earth will be filled with righteous,obedient mankind willing to serve the only true God,Jehovah

Answer 3

Now I have seen nearly everything.

You have condemned God in your tirade, and justified Satan in the process. Absolutely amazing.

First, God cannot murder. Since He is Creator of all, He has the right (indeed, right!) to do with His creation as He sees fit. When His creation rebels against Him, He is patient and long suffering with them, until He has had enough, and that creation has gone to the point of no return. When the flood occurred, God had been patient with mankind for over 100 years AFTER He told Noah to build the Ark. During that time, Noah preached righteousness, and the people would have none of it.

Next, you say that if the Bible said it was okay to have sex with kids, people would be doing it all over the place. The problem is, the Bible doesn't say anything about that, except to condemn sexual immorality in all its forms. God is holy, and won't put up with abominations like that.

Next, you talk about slave owners justifying their actions with Scripture. That is true. People who commit incest will also try to say that "It's in the Bible!" hoping for some leniency. The Bible states the way things are, as well as the way God wants it to be. Just because there are cases of incest (Lot and his daughters, Ammon and Tamar his sister) doesn't mean it's okay with God. Slavery in the Bible was completely different than slavery in the US and Great Britain. In biblical times, there were no bankruptcy courts or welfare. If a person's debts became too much to bear, they had to sell themselves to one who could pay their debt in return for their service. Those who owned slaves in the US had a poor understanding of what biblical slavery was about.

I really don't know what your problem with God is, but you must realize that it is either a misunderstanding or pure rebellion on your part. It isn't God's problem. As it is written: "...who are you-mere man that you are-to talk back to God?" (Romans 9:20)

Answer 4

Ok, I get the sense that you will not appreciate this answer, but I will try to help you. I hope when you cool down you might reflect on this as I will try to avoid being glib. I will also avoid Bible quotes as the will most likely not be beneficial to you at this time.

It is through Satan and Man's short comings that sin entered a perfect world. Satan also thought himself equal to the deity that created him. He, along with the fallen, now goes throughout the world spreading his evil and causing man to stumble in every imaginable way. Some of these ways include slavery and indecent acts with kids. So, it is safe to say that he has done abominable things and worthy of his future reward.

Now for your attack on the Almighty. If you read Job you will see that God does not answer for anything that happens on this Earth. We cannot fathom the depths of his very nature. But, let me not stop with an apparent pat phrase.

God created everything and called it good. We screwed up and he punished us with the flood, but those that were righteous he spared. He will again, through final judgment, do so again with fire. He made us and he can kill us or make us as if we never were. This is the cold hard facts. Everything God does is just period, but that does not make it evil because we seem to have problems with what it "appears to be."

Let us take the children whom he "murdered." First, let us remember that they were going to have "bad" parents and in turn become bad. So, when he murdered them all he spared them a fate worse than death. We Christians believe that until the age of accountability a child will be held blameless and even original sin will not be counted against them. So they passed from a world of death into a world of eternal life.

Now, slavery is not a big concern with God. He uses it as a learning tool and did not even spare his "chosen" people this horrible injustice. But, he did set down laws to govern how a slave should be treated and later hints that it was never his will or his desire, just like he does not wish for divorce etc... I will also say that many Africans came to know God because of slavery. I will also say that everyone at some time or another has been oppressed as a people. It is just that the African people were the last in America, but do not kid yourself it goes on still in this world and the owners will be held accountable for their actions. Remember this too as a final remark on slavery. No one is truly free and it really does not matter what you do on Earth or your station in life. When death comes we are all equal before the Lord and many will cry out and find themselves on the wrong side of the gate.

Now, as for the other nature of God. Yes, if God said up was down and visa versa you can be it WOULD be and it would need no backing in the Bible. God would never say it was ok to molest a child as it is against his very nature.

I know this is a long letter and I doubt I helped you blow off steam. I would rather have a long drawn out conversation than a pitiful few words. You are always free to email me and I will try to be prompt if you do.

Answer 5

1.its not murder! My friend everyone & everything except Noah & his family was evil to the bone. Laughed at Noah for building the ark on dry land.
2.there is NO where in the bible where it says its OK to have sex with children.
3. what God says is nothing but the absolutely truth & just that lead his believing people to righteousness & glory.
So blow out that steam & read MORE of the bible.

Answer 6

First of all it was in the beginning so we're not talking about billions of people. Second, God allowed Noah to tell these people, "hey look I'm building this ark because God is going to flood the earth." But none of them chose to turn from their evil ways...they totally had it coming for them. These people were worse than us, murderers, rapists, etc...

Answer 7

Your steamed because your stupid and your not even looking at it logicaly , Satan Caused man to fall and because of this he created withen men to be evil which God did not want ,man became more and more evil because of satan so God wiped them out But God in his Grace waited over 200 years for man to repent in which they did not because they loved evil more than God ,So it was not God , Are you for real ? is your mind so twisted with hatred for God that you really would stick up for the devil and put the blame on God

Answer 8

Something you might consider, flooding the whole world doesn't mean much, as world means people, not planet, and the people were still living close to Eden. As for the children, most of these were the children of the fallen angels, which are large, misshaped, and like animals. I would be willing to bet that after Armageddon, we will learn that the skulls of the so called missing links of evolution actually the skulls of the children of the fallen angels.

Answer 9

If you read a little earlier in Genesis, you would see that God did it bc He saw into the hearts of men, and saw that all but Noah and his family were evil, they were corrupted beyond repair. God wouldn't be able to bring them back to Him bc they were completely unwilling to come back. So, being a just God, He punished them for their evil. The penalty for sin is death, and God delivered that. Justice is a hard thing to take, but it is necessary in order to cut evil out of ourselves and society.

Answer 10

Great. Read a bible. Over and over again. Better yet just start at the new testament.

Answer 11

You are so sad!!! you have no understanding at all. Worse than being without wisdom, you actually think you have it when you don't have a clue.

Read Proverbs and ask God to bless you with wisdom.
