In Genesis 6 God said "I shall destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man and beast; and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I had created them."
This is the God that Jesus got half his DNA from? Or am I reading this wrong? Someone help me out here.
One other thing: Whatever did the birdies do wrong?

Nope religions people pick and choose their passages they believe. Guess that means gods word can be updated by man. some people will say you are putting it out of context, but never explain the context.

Jesus had the DNA of Israel (the seed of the Woman). Gods Spirit caused the conception. This would be the DNA of God. So, it would be interesting if someone had his DNA before He died on the cross.
Jesus DNA in His humanity had to be the same as the 1st Adam, before Adam died spiritually (separated from the tree of Life). Adam died spiritually the day he ate of the forbidden fruit. Jesus was like the first Adam in His DNA. God also breathed Gods DNA into the first Adam at creation. Jesus was tempted like the first Adam, but never sinned against God.
Before the Great Flood, crocodiles, birds, etc. lived nearly 1000 years (1 day is like 1000 yrs to God). Many kept growing. Some were probably eating or attacking people. All creation got corrupt, not just mankind. Angels left their place and came and had babies with humans. These were the first supermen. Now, I believe these are the demons.
Everything got sooo corrupted, Jesus couldn't come save mankind from their sins. Mostly because of these fallen angels who claimed to be the sons of God. The promised Messiah, the Only Begotten Son of God, repented He made man. Mankind resisted the Holy Spirit, but they were idolaterous to the fallen Angels. But Moses found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Because Moses Loved the LORD God & didn't resist the Holy Spirit.

In like manner that we talk to little children in a language that they can understand – baby talk -- so are the divine teachings to early man couched in parables. The whole Bible and most teachings of old should be regarded as such. Then, we could only comprehend so much. However, today, we have advanced so far ahead that we have gained the ability to understand far more. But we have to extract the true from the many that are false.
In fact, Jesus has effectively upgraded many of those Old Testament teachings. Most of them have been rendered obsolete, already. The jealous and vengeful God is now the God of love and mercy. An eye for an eye has been changed to Love your enemies and Turn the other cheek. The 10 Commandments have been modified to include justification for many in-between cases – Love everyone as yourself. So are the over 600 Jewish laws of Moses no longer to apply to Christians Most everything in life should be treated case to case based on the particular circumstances and subjected to the test of reason and logic.
DNA relates to the physical body, the clothing of the spirit and does not pertain to the spirit, itself. And divine instruction is progressive and infinite. More advanced concepts and teachings are made available as we merit more. Learning has no end. So today, there are New Teachings.

God the Father himself, was not man, that was Jesus who lived on earth. Although if you recall the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are all different but the same (yes, I agree it's confusing!) But God the Father being Spirit, did not have DNA. God the Father is looked as a strict gruff father in the Old Testament, and Jesus felt SO sorry for us that he gave his life. But, we have sin, and society today is so messed up that he will probaly destroy us. He did this to Noah's society and they were doing many of the same wrong things we do today.

Well, before Adam and Eve sinned, they were going to live forever. But then they sinned, and would eventually come to destruction, or death. So in other words, everybody is going to be destroyed, just not in the way you're thinking about it. They're going to be destroyed when they eventually die. Also, God doesn't have DNA. He's a spiritual being; how could he have DNA? But Jesus was 100% man and 100% God, but our finite minds can't come to understand that.

God was very upset by what Satan did to man and Almost destroyed it all by causing a great flood.However God is righteous and merciful and gave life a second chance through Noah and the ark. Jesus is righteous and merciful as well.Sounds like the same DNA to me!! But if your implying that DNA makes us act like our parents then I suggest you do a little more research. I don't know very many People that act like their parents.

Actually, DNA was designed by God, so technically, Jesus got 100% of His DNA from God.
But to answer your question, yes, it's the same God who you have quoted correctly.
Interesting though, in the flood, God saved eight humans (Noah and his 7 family members).
Noah found grace in the sight of God. The rest of the human race was all defiled, corrupt, and wicked.
The birds could fly above the waters. When they got tired, they could rest and feed upon carrion, which of course defiled them also.

You know He claims to be a JEALOUS God. So if you are a husband to your wife and your wife fritzes around with somebody else and when you were married she promised to be yours only, what would your attitude be??
Are the birdies a singing group? When sin exists in this physical world to any great degree everything is infected.

Mankinds evil doing caused the Lord to repent or wish he never created them.
Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He got all his spirit from God and his flesh from his earthy mother and father. What is it that you are not getting.

Yes, you are reading this wrong. He got all His DNA from God. Half through Mary, half directly.
He is also the one who will one day say: "Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the everlasting fire which has been prepared for the devil and His angels." (Matthew 25:41)
One other thing - have you eaten any birdies lately?
