Didn't God kill almost everyone on the planet at some point?

Question

Except for noah and his wife or something? Sorry I don't know the details but it was something like that right?

Was there ever a greater mass murderer than God then? I don't think so. Think of all the women and children that he killed. What chance did that 3 year old have to become a good person before God watched him drown?

I'm really curious about this. What does the bible say about this? I don't understand how it is justified.

Answer 1

No greater thrill than watching 50 million people drown all at once. God is great.

Answer 2

First look in Genesis. EVERYONE was evil at that point. God was not a murderer. You make a good point about younger children but God always has the best in mind for the world and knew what he was doing. Noah and his family were spared b/c they worshiped God. So God kind of started over b/c the world was not becoming the way he had intended it. God does not need to Justify what he does because every single thing that happens on this earth is part of God's FLAWLESS master plan.

Answer 3

OK, I'll try to answer your question piece by piece.

Yes, over four thousand years ago, God did destroy the earth and all ( except Father Noah and his family) drowned.

Yes, there was never another time in history where there were more deaths then during the great flood.

Did God Murder? No! One can not be called a murder if they destroyed their own creation. Think of it. If you made something and it did not do what you made it to do, and you destroyed it, is that wrong?

Did you know that God worn every-one on earth about this flood through Father Noah? No one listened to him. Therefore, it's the parents fault for not placing their children in the Ark. Not Father Noah's or God's.

Did you also know that one day God will destroy this earth again? This time with fire. The only way to be saved is through a new Ark, (Jesus) God's Son. After our death and when we all meet on that last day on earth. We will be taken to God on the new earth He has created and there will be no sin and fear and death. And I belive this because God always keeps His word.

Answer 4

In simple language, the people had become such sinners and not following God's laws, that He decided to wipe out the whole earth's population and start over. This excluded Noah and his family plus opposite genders of each species of every type of non-human creatures. Noah's family and the creatures were put on the Ark, that Noah built, and survived. Thats a long story made short and yes, ALL nonbelievers were drowned, men, women and kids.

Answer 5

If the story of Noah enrages you, read Job, you'll love that.

God a mass murderer? Hmm. If someone died because of old age would you still consider God to be murdering them? Everyone dies, someway somehow, is God then murdering us all because we all inevitably die? If someone was murdered by another person would you say that God had no part in this murder or would he still be responsible because he created the murderer?

Anyway, what about this three year old? No person would ever know if this kid was a good person or had the potential to become one but then again they wouldn't know anything about what's in this kids heart or soul. I hear that's the beautiful thing about God though, supposedly he already knows.

Answer 6

They explain it away as, "God is all-knowing; he saw the future and in that future there was nothing but destruction and violence". Or something like that.

But what's more interesting is that Noah some how managed to find two of EVERY animal on this planet (including all the subspecies, of course...so thats two Indian elephants [and their sub-subspecies], two African elephants [and their sub-subspecies], two Javan rhinos, two Indian rhinos, two Sumatran rhinos, two black and two white rhinos...two giraffes...buffalos...my hand is getting tired. He also managed to coax lions and alligators and cheetahs and things onto his nifty little boat without getting eaten--that's quite a trick!) AND he built the boat that could supposedly fit all of these animals with his bare hands!

Answer 7

Here is one thing. Noah preached for 100 years while the ark was being built and no one believed it. So the question is why did no one listen?

The people heard about it coming it was a surprise but should not have been. God let Noah preach over a 100 years about this and did anyone listen? Nope.

Answer 8

interior the Bible it additionally says, that in case you beat your slave and he can stroll in 3 days' time then you do no longer could desire to make an apology. I grew up with that mentality of, worship the Bible and God with none exception, yet in all honesty i think that no longer something may be "suitable" and proper for every physique--all 7 billion people--and the countless suggestions interior the Bible i think are merciless and/or sexist--e.g., a woman could desire to on no account communicate until eventually spoken to and obey adult adult males in any respect costs. somewhat i think like people could desire to in basic terms sell well being and kindness in direction of one yet another. God does positioned people by way of stressful circumstances, which does make experience as a results of fact existence should not be all dandy for all people, yet then why does He supply some people greater sturdy cases than others? It in basic terms isn't clever to me. i think of that people shouldn't commit their lives to serving God. i think of they could desire to commit their lives to creating this Earth a greater appropriate place for every physique, somewhat of in basic terms thinking approximately themselves and asserting "I could desire to be trustworthy so i will flow to heaven, who cares relating to the others who've plenty greater complicated lives than myself?" besides there are hundreds of religions and assorted gods, and extremely no thank you to tell who's "incorrect" or "suitable", so what's the ingredient of arguing and warring over it? If there extremely is a God, do you think of he needs that to ensue? Oh nicely, it is my 2 cents. Felixx<3

Answer 9

Mortality in every generation is 100%.
Blaming God does not excuse whatever sins you may have. If you think so, watch that last step, it's a doosey.
He made you, and if you are wicked, he can punish you in this world AND the next.
