I am a believer.
I have found God's Ark - the Lord Jesus Christ.
Warnings can be changed to Assurance, if we only listen to God.

I think both are equally compelling. The story warns us that God is willing to destroy most of mankind if necessary, and at the same time it shows us compassion and love when He's willing to go through all that trouble just to save one family of believers.

Both warning to the human race and its reassurance.

Both are equally strong. First you need to warn people, and then reassure them that if they heed the warning, that all things work to the good, to them that love the Lord.

That story of Noah suggests that we are children of incest for the second time. Adam & Eve were the first.

Well, since it ends with God promising not to flood the earth again, I'd say it comes across as more reassuring than threatening.

The warning.

By "reassurance," I guess you mean God's magical rainbow promise that he won't ever again murder everyone in a big flood, including babies, children, and pregnant women. It's not very reassuring when you consider that he didn't rule out other means of killing everyone off, such as fire or an asteroid or mutant viruses.

the fact that the greatest person on earth was a guy that did nothing particularly good - he didn't even try to save anybody

Its reassurance--he provided for those who loved him, and he promised there would never be a worldwide flood again.
