Yahweh killed countless innocent babies in the flood. Isn't that special?

Answer 1

Here we are again Jack Bauer? You are no longer living up to the expectation of President Palmer. Do I Have to repeat that it's part of collateral damage? Are you sure all of them were dead? The flood did not save Naoh's family only. Noah's life was the only "recorded" surviving family to make the Jews more informed of the realizations that their tribe at that time was chosen by God to do special missions for "Monotheistic belief in God". The world of Noah is just a limited world that he and his family have seen and reached and recorded. That is why in the Old Testament as it is printed, the earth is flat with heaven on top and hell underneath.
From Adam through Noah, many people before them have believed in many Gods, in every force of nature as god Himself, as elements of nature with different god guarding each which we consider in this time a mythology. Though it was not said nor written, you can observe it in Abraham's faith in God. When he was asked by God to offer his first son, Isaac, (whom God promised him to be born inspite of he and his wife's age), he did not hesitate and not even question God why. It is only logical to think that in his time before a single God has to be made known to them, there were people around him that did rituals of many kinds including offering of enemies', animal's,virgin's or children's blood in the altars as offering to several Gods for different seasonal occassions including volcanic eruptions, droughts, heavy rains, storms and other natural calamities.
Before I go too far to your questions. Countless innocent babies may have died in the flood but there could have been countless innocent babies too that survived to grow and became the countless enemies of the Jews which they have encountered and have been encountering up to this present generation. A proof that we did not really come from one bloodline of Adam and Eve.
With your question, you are so special.

Answer 2

What "harmless little ones"??? God's be conscious says not something about harmless little ones demise interior the flood. perchance you have not examine the account of the flood in Genesis. I propose you do examine it. and attempt studying it in diverse variations so that you quite comprehend it. Almighty God is a in basic terms God and would not flow round destroying harmless lives. even as there's a cataclysmic experience of His making, there is continuously a reason and it really is continuously because He hates sin. those who perished interior the flood of Noah's time, were many stuff, yet they weren't harmless. they were given MANY possibilities to reveal from sin and stay lengthy, moral lives. they chosen to push aside all the warnings. It took Noah about one hundred years to construct the ark because of that's massive length. human beings had plenty and quite some time to reveal their lives round, yet they chosen to mock Noah and ignore with regard to the warnings. Sounds a useless ringer for today's international . . . D.

Answer 3

No he did not kill anyone who was innocent, including little babies. Noah preached for many years before the flood hit and I am sure some accepted his message. They were saved just like Enoch was. The only ones drowned in the flood were the wicked.

Answer 4

Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The offspring of a rattlesnake is still a rattlesnake. If you don't get rid of the eggs, you only end up with more rattlesnakes.

And if a child was too young to be at the age of accountability, I'm sure God took them to Heaven before their parents were removed from the earth.

Answer 5

It is scientifically proven that if there was a "world flood" there would no longer be life left on earth because of the water vapor in the air. You would literally drown trying to breathe.

Answer 6

It would have been if it had happened.

From Egyptian records of the pharaohs who ruled at the time of the flood, it would appear that it didn't affect them.

Therefore, either the Egyptian gods were more powerful than Yahweh and were able to prevent the world-wide flood from affecting them or there were no gods, no world-wide flood.

I'll take the second option and assume that the Santorini tsunami went east rather than south.

Answer 7

Special? Interesting choice of words.

If he hadn't, they would have just killed one another when they got older. And on the other hand, it could have been a magnificent act of mercy. Knowing that they would grow up to be evil men and women, perhaps he wiped all of them out as infants before they could become accountable for their actions, allowing them to go to heaven.

Based on the condition of the world at the time as described in the book of Genesis, they wouldn't have had much of a life; they would have lived in a world that worshiped violence and filth, derelict of love.

I'm not saying that's what happened, but my point is, God is sovereign, and it is folly for us to judge his actions based on our understanding.

Answer 8

I guess you wanted a baby that was half animal half human or half demon half human. Gen 6, maybe you like warped DNA. Maybe you could love a baby with horns on his head or maybe a baby with a body of a lion and a head of a human. I ownder why God caused the flood to come along, Maybe you could hold a baby in your arms that was 20 pounds big-giants.

Answer 9

Uh, the babies weren't innocent, that's why they were killed. In the same old testament that you got that story from there are verses that say "they are born with evil (or is it wickedness) in their heart." That would suggest to the intellect that they are not born innocent.

Answer 10

What's so special about that?

What is it that you are really asking?

Nimrod who existed after the flood displayed the same feelings of anger towards God.
