Did God fail?

Question

Im not trying to be heretical about asking this, but please cast aside whatever beliefs you have and TEMPORARLY follow with my logic;

God made mankind. Man was too evil or whatever and God deemed then unfit to live, so he had Moses build the arc and called the great flood to kill everyone off. In the sense that even God started over, Im trying to use this as an example that nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Im not trying to denounce the Chriatian faith as I myself an Christian.

OK so my bad, it was Noah and not Moses. But lets quit being childish and just answer the question

Answer 1

No -- God didn't fail. Earth life is designed the way it is to help us learn and grow. The primary reason we're on this earth is to learn how to tell the difference between right and wrong. That's the reason opposition was allowed to enter the world and the reason why there are so many "truths" competing for our attention.

I'm sure that God with his foreknowledge planned the flood before the earth was even created. I don't know the reason for everything, but I'm confident it's for our benefit.

Answer 2

The ark of the covenant, and the ark that Noah built were two entirely different things built by two entirely different people. I suggest that you go back to Sunday School, and pay attention. The ark of the covenant, which was built by Moses' people WAY after Noah and the flood, holds what is left of the stone tablets that the ten commandments were written on. And I hope I do not assume too much when I assume that you know about what Noah's Ark was for.

As for your question, God does not fail. He wanted man to have a free will of his own, not be a puppet that He could make do anything He wanted.

Answer 3

Well, God does not fail. We do. There was no Adam & Eve. We all evolved from some kind of microbe. It's obvious!!! There is too much scientific data that proves this theory. But yes, he did create ALL! If people were'nt so into what a book says, ie.the Bible, there would'nt be any hate crimes!!! All the wars have been about whose religion is right.

Answer 4

You need to ask yourself first what is God after?
I believe God is after a people who will love Him and serve Him willingly and gladly of their own free will.
Personally I have met hundreds who are that way, and I am sure the real number runs into millions. They are those who have been born of the Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ and gone on to maturity, laying down their lives, picking up their crosses and following the Lord Jesus Christ.
God has not failed.
But what about you?

Answer 5

I don't know if He fail, but it certainly appear that he miscalculated. Genesis 6 says God regretted that HE made man for man mind was on evil continuously. But God found Grace in Noah.

There is a different in making a mistake and being rebellious-willfully disobedience. Genesis show man total disregard for the God that created him. Because God is a merciful God He is always looking for someone that is humble that He can show His grace.

It is His love for us that He sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins. Always looking, always merciful, patient, for that man of woman that will love Him more than the the flesh-or self.

Answer 6

God's plan is perfect and did not fail, He is never late and never to early. It is only by own free will that people make mistakes and by the grace of God He gives them time to correct there mistakes. God Bless and read Romans 4 and 8

Answer 7

No, God did not fail.
Your question is a good one, and without trying to be rude or mean, it is really based on the fact that you do not have a clear understanding of the how's and why's of what God's reasons are.
So in my desire to kind of fill you in, the reason for Noah having to build the ark, was because certain angels, had forsaken their proper place, materialized human bodies, and had sex with the daughers of man. The offspring of these unnatural unions were giants, whose existence was making the natural outcome of man's challenge to God's sovereignty, unable to occur.
So, God had them destroyed so that the humans could continue in the quest to self rule.
Your question really hits home at the theme of the Bible. That being, sovereignty. All time from Adam +Eve down to today has been allowed by God to give us humans a chance to try all the forms of human rulership we can think of so as to prove to God whether or not, if we in fact need God's rulership.

6:1 Now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, 2 then the sons of the [true] God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose. 3 After that Jehovah said: “My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Neph´i·lim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of the [true] God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame.

Answer 8

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

[1] (Inevitably) cometh (to pass) the Command of Allah: seek ye not then to hasten it: glory to Him, and far is He above having the partners they ascribe unto Him!

[2] He doth send down His angels with inspiration of His Command, to such of His servants as He pleaseth, (saying) "Warn (Man) that there is no god but I: so do your duty unto Me."

[3] He has created the heavens and the earth for just ends: far is He above having the partners they ascribe to Him!

[4] He has created man from a sperm-drop; and behold this same (man) becomes an open disputer!

Answer 9

No not really a failure.
Man was created perfect and complete.
Part of that includes free will (that's how we are made in God's image).
Man used his free will to reject God's advice and warning.
It is man who failed initially.
Now we have the opportunity to use our free will better than Adam did.

Answer 10

It was man that failed. God gave men the ability to choose, and during the time of Noah ever body chose poorly...except Noah and his family.
