It was a genuine question and yet you down vote and leave, seems like you really care to educate

He flooded the Earth not only because the people are becoming wicked, but because the Nephilim, the group of fallen angels who followed Satan, started sleeping with human women and corrupted the children of man, so he had to take care of that before humanity’s future offspring becomes completely hybridized

We have a limited view of good and bad. It is stated that all people on the earth except for Noah and his family were evil people. Therefore, they all chose eternity in hell, which is where God sent them

God can give a person or a whole society an ordeal as a lesson or virtue.

I mean he CAN do anything, but murdering everyone except one family isnt exactly something you should worship or thank him for

God suffered a lot as Christ. He has suffered more than what the earth has produced. That is why his judgement is sacred. Also he gave his son to man as a sacrifice to pay for sin. He is driven on virtue and virtue alone and is bound by his word.

Also he did not wipe out the world again as a persistent cycle like lab rats in a failed experiment. He has mercy but at times he will judge. The late Bronze Age collapse is the closest example of the flood where whole cultures vanished when their alphabet. The medieval dark ages pales in comparison.

How do you think that? Also him giving his son is a reason to thank jesus not him, Jesus was born and made to serve a purpose God made following rules God had set

The point is that he tells his people they will not go extinct but at the same time are not immune to judgement or ordeal. Things like that happen to show God exists and his order. Without that, the Tower of Babel would have had one culture and one language of elites controlling people away from God. He doesn’t allow that which is why the late Bronze Age collapsed and Egypt became a vassal of Rome as a consequence later on.

Also God allowed Egypt to rise to keep other kingdoms from achieving dominion. Egypt how very suffered God’s wrath because they too cannot achieve dominion. God keeps a one world government from forming or a palace controlling the culture and language of people. People are free to choose to follow God or not but no ruler can bar people from accessing God completely.

Slightly different situation because not everybody on the earth right now is evil, and God said he would never do such a thing again. Trust me trump will rot in hell

Why yes i agree but God is unchanging and has lied before so that means he wouldnt not lie again. Also he doesnt have to cleanse earth, just whenever a person would perform an action that would land them in hell there soul goes there and then their body doesn’t perform the action

When has God lied before? I believe that no action lands someone in hell. God is capable of forgiving all sin, as long as the person trusts in Him. So we should be allowed to live out our lives so that we may turn to him

Adam and Eve had everything they needed and after eating the fruit they had imperfection rein into the world and their lifespan was cut short. Abraham was tested and God did not want a human sacrifice. God allows ordeals and even lets nations like Egypt to gain in power for an ordeal. Jesus asked the disciples to walk forward over water and their common sense told them not to but all the miracles around them told them to have faith. Even when they failed Jesus was there hold their hand.
