Would Your God Do That?

 

Would Your God Do That?

^{Genesis 7:21 “}And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:”

     Maybe the big question isn’t if the Noah account is factual.  That guy has taken a lot of flak for what he did.  Modern day “scientists” throw stones at him.  Give him a break!  He only cooperated and saved Mankind as we are told.

     If we can discredit the Noah story with evidences strown about the timeline, then we can write off Hell.  If God is a liar, then He surely doesn’t know what He is doing.  A plaything called scripture full of myths and bedtime stories doesn’t command our attention nor does it cause us to inspect our actions before a God who is watching.

     But what if God did kill a whole bunch of people at once.  Was it murder?  Is God that kind of sicko’?  Create them then squash them?  He had the power.  We could blame Him.  Another ruthless view of God in the sky with a stick in His hand.  Perverted are we.

     What kind of people were the ones that drowned?  Mild-mannered folk paying their taxes and playing bingo at the hall?  Did they sit with their grandkids on their porches and wave to passerby’s?  Certainly God spattered their reputations to justify His overreaction.  Another speculation going bad.

     Do you know yourself?  Think.  If left to yourself without the law to restrain and all your desires to be pursued, would you become holy?  If your answer is yes, I doubt you have met God.

     Is God just?  Yes, and He is merciful.  Thanks Noah.
