Bible Homework Help?

Question

Hello, I'm 16 and have a lot of questions about life and God.
The bible teacher gave as homework and the question is:
List similar bad things or habits that people had in old times and now that God had to destroy the world (Noah and the Great Flood).

What are the similar things that we as people have today and had it before that god had to destroy as, so the bad things will not spread.

Thank You

I'm true Christian and please people like freekspy, don't tell me what to do, if Bible was lies than you and me would life the life that we live today.

Answer 1

Lack of good virtue, neighborly kindness, and lack of true faith in God.

Answer 2

Genesis 6:11 says: Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence.

Violence is the only sin that is specifically named in the passage about Noah. Of course you can assume that people did the same 'bad things' as today, of which I think the most important is rejecting or ignoring God.

I don't think of this part as history, though. I believe it should be read as an allegory. Remember that the Bible isn't a history handbook. Parts are history, but not all of it. I wonder if your teacher would agree!

Answer 3

Well the Bible says "they were eating and drinking and women were being given away in marriage" but none of these things were bad things, the problem was that the people in Noahs day just like in our day get too caught up with doing these things that they pay no mind to God.

Answer 4

The main theme of the first 11 chapters of Genesis was murder and how it escalated.

It started with Cain and Abel, and then when one of Cain's ancestors murdered a young man (see chapter 4), he used self-defense as a justification and multiplied the curse on anyone who would avange they young man.

In chapter 6, murder isn't mentioned, but up to that point it was the only sin ever mentioned, except for the one little one in the Garden.

After the flood, murder is the crime that got the most verbage when God gave us permission to use capital punishment to deter the crime (chapter 10).

Answer 5

Genesis Chapter 6:3

And the sons of God (angels) beheld the women of earth and behold that they were fair, and they took of them , wives of whom they would choose, and there were Giants in the land and men of great renown. The word for angels is nephilim which means the fallen ones. So fallen angels had sexual relations with human women in an attempt to cut off a pure human blood line for Christ. Like it or not that is what is in the Hebrew. In your New Testament you will read about angels in a bottomless pit. These are the nephilim of Genesis.
GOD DESTROYED THE WORLD DUE TO THE NEPHILIM
NOT DUE TO THE EVIL OF MANKIND.

OR GOD WOULD SURELY HAVE DESTROYED THE WORLD AGAIN LONG AGO, AND ESPECIALLY TODAY WITH GAY MARRIAGE ETC.
Read it, I challenge you, don't blindly believe what you are told,
check it out in the Hebrew.

God destroyed the world so that there would be a pure human blood line for Christ to come out of.

Answer 6

There is lack of faith or belief in God. That was going on during the days before the flood. You also have a lot of fornication and that also went on. There was murder and incest. I think the main thing was, they stopped believing in God and Noah still believed and had faith, that's why he found Grace in God's eyes.

Answer 7

Hi, I know Christianity is a difficult road to take, but it is most certainly the right one. It's not about taking the bad away anymore (I think) It is about your relationship with God. The rest simply doesn't matter. God wants to be close with us, even it we are running away form Him. He tells us, that he loves each and every one of us, even if we reject him!!!
Hope that helps!

God sent us a Rainbow as a promise that there won't be such a flood again. (Story of Noah).
