When the whole great flood thing went down with Noah, et al...?

Question

did all the flooded folks go to Hell, or were there any keepers that went to Heaven? Honest curiosity, no evil intended at all. If the Bible is silent on their ultimate disposition, that's cool too. Thank you.

Answer 1

Look at a the conversation between the three angels and Abraham before they were going to destroy Sodom. The question was "Will the God of the whole earth destroy the righteous with the wicked?" The answer to the rhetorical question was, "No". And by this, Abraham was able to get his nephew out of Sodom safe and sound.

If there were any righteous people available during the days of Noah. They were on the Ark.

Answer 2

The bible indicates only that Noah was "perfect in his generation" ... a term usually considered to mean that only he and his family remained undefiled by the evil that overran the world at that time.

Whether all the others willingly cooperated with that evil, or were simply overwhelmed by it, in spite of their best efforts, makes all the difference when it comes to God's ultimate judgment ... and we'll probably have to wait for Judgment Day, to find that out.

Answer 3

Before Jesus Christ died and was resurrected all souls went to a place called paradise. One side of it was pleasant and set up for people like Noah, Moses, Abraham, Elijah and so forth so that they could rest. The other side was fiery hot and filled with torment which is were all those who didn't worship God (worshiping idols) went. It had or has a huge gulf fixed in between so that one side could not cross over to other. When Jesus died He first descended into paradise, preached the Gospel, took the keys from Satan, and set the people who believed the Gospel free (set them in heaven).

Answer 4

The Bible says that all of mankind was corrupt. I am no Bible scholar, but I think that would mean that they went to hell. Only Noah found favor with God. So, Noah and his family were saved.

Answer 5

He destroyed all that were unclean on the earth and the pure entered the Ark..If you read Genesis 6 and 7 it will give you some real insight...No evil take at all...If you don't ask you won't know and I found your question to be very interesting..But the Bible totally presents the scenario as well as your answers.

Answer 6

The Bible states they all perished. See I Peter 3:18-22.

Answer 7

Why was only Noah and his family saved and not anyone else? Yes, that's right, everyone else was EVIL. No keepers, well maybe the babies went to Heaven and little children.

Answer 8

They all went to the common grave of mankind. They all ceased living. Noah was a preacher of righteousness, yet none of them opted to join his family on the ark. Still, for sake of argument, IF there were any who weren't offered an opportunity to form an opinion, God can resurrect them on the last day, for their second chance.

The idea of anyone at all going to heaven after death, was first taught by Jesus Christ, to his chosen fellow heavenly Kingdom heirs...

Answer 9

I think they all went to hell. The Bible says that Noah was the only righteous man in God's eyes-him and his family.

But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
