Was anyone other than Noah and his family saved in the flood?

Question

In other words, what happened to the souls of all the other people who died in the flood? Were they condemned to hell? Please only Christians reply.

Answer 1

The Bible makes it clear that only eight were saved from death during the flood. "...who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah, when God waited patiently while the ark was being built. In it a few, that is, eight persons, were saved by water." (I Peter 3:20)

Everyone else didn't believe Noah or God, and that "the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (Genesis 6:5)

Therefore, it looks as though the rest were destined for hell.

Answer 2

You should know by now that anyone will reply, no matter what your request.

Was the flood 40 days per Genesis 7:17, or 150 days as Genesis 7:24 says?

If Noah and his family were the only living things that survived the flood (per Genesis 7:21-23), how did an entire olive tree grow within a week (Genesis 8:8-11)?

And if Noah only had two of each animal, why does he kill the "clean animals" and burn them on an altar after the flood (Genesis 8:20-21)? Wouldn't that make the animals extinct at that point?

Gee, this just brings up even more questions, doesn't it? Why would a perfect being like God contradict himself so much?

Answer 3

Only Noah & family saved in the flood. All others died. Went to spirit prison. When Christ died he went to the spirit prision to preach and organize the righteous dead to teach the spirts in prison. If they accept there will be a way for them to receive all of the saving ordinaces as one who is living. So no, not all of them are in hell or condemned.

1 Peter 3
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the dSpirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Answer 4

Genesis 6:5-8
5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them." 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

Genesis 7:11-13
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.


thus there were 8 saved.

Answer 5

Many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.—Genesis 2:7; 3:17-19; Numbers 6:6; Romans 5:12.

Clearly, then, we do not have a soul that is separate from our body. Each one of us is a soul. And since people have inherited sin from the first man, Adam, the Bible says: ‘The soul that sins will die.’—Ezekiel 18:4.

With that all tlhose who died in the flood are souls and all of them are now dead souls, the flood became their hell/grave.

Romans 6:7 For he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin.

Answer 6

Nope. Only the following were saved:

Noah + Wife
Son 1 + Wife
Son 2 + Wife
Son 3 + Wife

Answer 7

By reading the bible seems like Noah and his family was saved from the flood due to that the other people in the bible didn't believe that there was going to be a flood

Answer 8

Only Christians can reply? The thing is, the story of Noah is in Genesis. Genesis is in the Old Testament/Torah/Hebrew Bible.

This reminds me of the South Park episode when Kyle's mom complained about him portraying Joseph in the school's Christmas pageant. "My son can't be Joseph, we're Jewish!"

Answer 9

well i'm a Muslim...
n in Quran it has been mentioned that only the Good ones were saved (thats more than Noahs family)... n Noahs son was among the bad ones n he perished in the flood !!!!

therefore ONLY THE GOOD ONES GOT SAVED N THE BAD ONES PERISHED!

Answer 10

No wonder you only want Christians to reply-you wouldn't want reality interfering with your fantastic delusions.
