Why didn't god just send Jesus before the flood instead of killing everyone?

Question

Apparently, the flood idea was a failure.
Why didn't he just send Jesus then?

Answer 1

Because god is imaginary.

Answer 2

If I'm not mistaken the flood was before the exodus of the Jews, and therefore Gods teachings weren't even a concept. That aside Christs teachings wouldn't have been readily accepted by the murderous heathens that God was trying to be rid prior to the flood.

I love how most highly religious people (Religous in the sense that they do everything their preacher tells them to) havn't read the bible, and just act as "God's little sheep" and do what they're told. I on the other hand have read the bible, and It's just made me believe less and less in an Abrahamic God.

Answer 3

Although I will never speak against him..Sometimes I wonder why the Christian God thought it was ok to kill off little kittens and new born infants during the time Noah's Ark..however..there are unknown reasons for many things that perhaps we don't have the mind to understand yet. A thousand years ago many couldn't even be able to understand many aspects of society, science, and even just how to make this computer. Sometimes I would wonder why he created us in the first place and didn't just destroy ALL of us..what really is a soul used for..maybe he's lonely..

Answer 4

Because, if God exists, we probably needed Jesus more after the flood. He couldn't just send another flood to wipe out all the sin after He promised not to.

Answer 5

The Bible is full of stories that explain things using the theory of an all powerful god. The flood part probably really did happen, but only a part of the world had a flood, and the man, (Noah,) who wrote the story, wrote it as if the whole world was covered, and exaggerated the story. I think alot of stories in the bible are exaggerated.

Answer 6

From the same Bible that tells you that God created a flood, it also tells you that God SETS TIMES for certain things to happen. Anywhere you look where it talks about FEASTS, translate that SET TIMES. FEASTS was an option for the translators to use. It also Means SET TIMES. Those "Feasts" were prophetic in their timing and in their nature: What the Israelites were to do to celebrate or observe those SET TIMES were things that God planned to fulfill what He set in motion.

I won't go into which have already been fulfilled and which have not, but know that God wanted things to come to pass before the end.

Answer 7

The Lord moves in mysterious ways, my son.

Say 20 hail Marys and don't ask awkward questions.


Alternatively:
They had not invented crucifixion by then, and God wanted a nice distinctive symbol for all his followers to have.

Or:
He needed the various prophets to make predictions for Jesus to fulfill to prove he was the messiah.

Or:
The Devil made him do it.

Answer 8

God didn't know Jesus existed back then. He was unaware that he was a trinity and that he could forgive people's sins by killing himself. Before then, he told Moses that one could not pay for the sins of another... of course, that didn't stop him from killing people because of other people's sins... he just didn't know that he could forgive people that way too.

Answer 9

He didn't want to save everyone - he wanted to start over - he figured there was too much sin...which makes you wonder why he saved anyone at all. Which means we all come from Noah's family. If you believe that sort of thing.

Answer 10

Because that would have robbed God of the opportunity to kill a lot of people.

Answer 11

The flood was caused by the irregular elliptical orbit of Nibriru, roughly the size of Jupiter. It's gravitational pull caused catastrophe's the last time it came around (160 BCE). Guess when the next scheduled time it is to be near us? Well I've seen timeframes ranging from 2003-2013. Build your bomb shelter yet? Roughly every 3600 years. That takes you back to the origins of the stories. Believe what you like.
