Genesis 6 - 9 reflection





Disclaimer: The following is only meant to be a school assignment and not meant to insult anybody or there religion. Thank you.


Today I have read Genisis 6-9 from the Bible and and I was very surprised. It depicted God as cruel and unforgiving. For example God becomes angry at mankind for being evil to each other. But instead of giving guidance, he decides to kill everyone on Earth with a 40 day flood. This seems very rash and harsh because we don't know the origin of the evil but the flood killed everyone in the world. This is evident because God said," “I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth.​
” So someone could have been worshiping God when all of a sudden he is killed by the flood because of Gods choice to kill indiscriminately. My interpretation is God can sometimes help man (helping Noah) but can also harm them (the flood.)
