Literal belief in the flood story
#9
RE: Literal belief in the flood story
You list these things as if the God that was powerful enough to flood the earth isn't powerful enough to bring plants back to life... The way that I see it is God didn't kill people, He warned them about a coming judgement. He didn't force people to get in the ark, it was their choice... Free will.

Now we have a judicial system, correct? If the law says that murderers will be punished by death sentence and the government didn't deliver the decree if they had caught a murderer then people would most likely revolt due to injustice.

God warned about a judgement. In fact they had 150 years to decide whether to get on the boat or not. Now if God would have never delivered that decree the wicked would probably become even more wicked and Noah and his family would also turn from God.

As far as the children go... I think 150 years is enough time to warn your kids about a judgement.
