Can someone tell me what this passage means?

Question

The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them."

sounds right @ belz

Answer 1

It means that God indeed made men in His own image, because they're wicked, stupid, arrogant and cruel just as He is.

Answer 2

God is real, and He loves you (even if you are the most naughty child in the world, or the most wicked adult). He knows all your weaknesses and struggles, and even if you go wrong (even in a big way) He still loves you. What He does not love is the wrong you have done – but He still loves you. He will never ‘turn His back’ on the person who is sorry and asks for help to be put right again – never! Even if everyone else does, and nobody else understands, He does, and He will never leave you even if you leave Him from time to time.

God had never regretted for creating mankind. Because, since He has created us, He can forgive us or destroy us. Allah says in Quran (read the last line of the verse):

47: 39. Behold ! You are those who are called upon to spend in the way of ALLAH; but of you there are some who are *********. And whoso is *********, is ********* only against his own soul. And ALLAH is Self-Sufficient, and it is you who are needy. And if you turn your backs, HE will bring in your place another people; then they will not be like you.
(Chapter 49)

Answer 3

The Bible account describing Jehovah’s displeasure with men in the days of Noah before the Flood relates that “the sons of the true God” took for themselves wives from among the attractive daughters of men. It then mentions the presence of “Nephilim,” saying: “The Nephilim 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 [Heb., hag‧gib‧bo‧rim′] who were of old, the men of fame.”—Ge 6:1-4.

“The mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame” that were produced by these marriages, were not men of fame with God, for they did not survive the Flood, as did Noah and his family. They were “Nephilim,” bullies, tyrants, who no doubt helped to make conditions worse. Their angelic fathers, knowing the construction of the human body and being able to materialize, were not creating life, but lived in these human bodies and, cohabiting with women, brought forth children. Their children, “mighty ones,” were therefore unauthorized hybrids. Apparently the Nephilim did not, in turn, have children.
Evil was so rife that God was determined to destroy mankind.

Answer 4

That mankind really ticked God off. So He destroyed them all except for Noah and his family to start over again.

Answer 5

I think that's fairly straight-forward in the narrative.
But what it really means is that 9th century Jewish scribes speculated on the origin of a massive flood that hit ancient Mesopotamia thousands of years earlier, and wrote their conclusions into a morality play about a man named Noah.

Answer 6

If Jesus Christ doesn't come back soon. God is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorra.
