Why did God do things the "hard" way?

Question

Come on!

Create Earth? Snap of his fingers!

But to wipe out man, no, not heart attacks, he has to plan this huge delusion of water to wash them away.

Why? Was this supposed to be a key factor in scaring people or something that live later on?

Answer 1

What damn difference if it scared them it killed their butts. He could have just said die and went on about his business. But the beautiful symbol of the rainbow would just have been wasted it wouldn't make any sense now. Not that it did anyway. Someone said the flood allowed decomposition of the body's. Hell he could have just blinked his eye and decomposed the body's.

Answer 2

He used the flood of waters to take away a world that was very sinful, more so than now, if you can imagine that, though we will catch up soon. God didn't wish to end humankind altogether, that is why one righteous man, Noah, and his family was spared. So the flood waters killed everything except that which was on the ark, and so creations reproduction can continue. When Satan brought sin into the world, everything became corrupted. God did save several others prior to the flood that were also righteous, but he took them to heaven instead. Maybe, since God knows what we will decide, though he doesn't make the choice for us, he knew all that was left on earth would not make the choice to come to him. So, in order to save those that were to be (us, God knows all, operative word is knows) he continues human kind so that we are given the opportunity to make the choice to be with him, so that we can spend eternity with him and not miss out on that on the account of Satan. In reality, he does us a favor. When Jesus comes back and casts all others that have made the choice for Satan into the abyss with Satan, there will once again, be an earth filled with people that love God. Earth is without end, the days that we know, however, will end and be made new. Good question! Smile, whether you know it or not, God loves you!

Answer 3

Come on, you have to give our Father a break. Do you even know where you standing at a battle field. Mankind is the one who messing up that's why bad things happen. Open your eyes God too many jobs on the same time not only that just like the war on Earth well the same thing in spirit world. Do you know earth and mankind symbolize as chess and checkers. Matter of fact you expect the unexpected because you may not know what will happen next until it happen so you ask for forgiveness before you walk into the valley death.

Answer 4

God will reveal Himself to you if you ask and taste and see that the Lord is good. You are in alot of turmoil and pain. There is alot of anger that will go away if you just close your eyes and imagine you are high above the Earth, kind of like what the astronauts see, now while you're there in your minds eye think of why not? That God creator of heaven, earth and universe can do anything He wants. He created you, right? You know that people have brains in their heads but you can not see the brain, right? Well, in the same aspect you have faith and know that there really is a brain in the person. It is that little bit of faith as an example. Now, you must know that God designed your eyes to see the Earth and stars and sun and moon, right? He did not design your eyes to be able to see the heavenly realm right above all of us. But we know it's there. When a person passes away, (dies) they enter a spiritual realm and its then they can see God, Jesus and the glory. All the angels and other people that have passed on as well. God is not to be put into a box. God will frustate the intelligence of the intelligent and that is what it sounds like you are baffled with. You give me the impression you are pretty smart cookie. Now as for the flood. At that time, Noah who lived more than 400 years old, Noah gave warning to the people for around a 100 years that God was going to do something. During and while Noah was building the ark (boat) people were very evil at that time except for a select few. They did have warning though. They would make fun of Noah and spit on him and tell him he was being a fool. Then when the rain came, that's when they tried to get in the boat. God had closed the door on the boat. The salvation of Jesus dying on the cross however has opened up the mercy and grace of God. As long as you have Jesus as your personal savior, that's all you need to be saved in these end times, So when the end comes if in our lifetime, then you know you are ok and will be welcome into His kingdom, it is then that God will open up your spiritual eyes to see His kingdom. He also allows you to see supernatural experiences also in your natural human life, if you ask Him in the time of need....

Answer 5

Not sure what your question is, the hard way? Who said God snapped his fingers? If God created the universe He also created the laws of science including physics and time, so snapping his fingers to us many have been millions of years of what humans call evolution.

Huge delusion of water? Not sure what you're talking about.

Answer 6

Is derovios " high as a kit " ? And you, did you mean a deluge of water or a figment of the imagination of water? You bright guys really like to cut down God and the bible. You might try reading it first. Then you wouldn't have to ask so many ignorant questions.

Nothing is hard for God. He wrote everything in the book when you came here and he knows what, whaen and why. We are not suppose to question God and why he does thing. This life is a test and we have to pass it. That's all we really need to know.

Answer 9

The Bible is a social guide to the rights and wrongs of human behavior. Lots of do-not's, and do's. I like the Golden Rule Myself and the snake in the Garden. Lot of laughs to!
