Re: What was the purpose of the Biblical Flood? It appears there was none.
the Bible is a story about the Blood


 Quoting: Ice


There is actually a lot of truth in that. Bloodlines. It might sound ridiculous, until you consider the difference in spirit between a Jeffrey Dalmer and a John F. Kennedy.

The bloodlines are an indication of someone's inclination towards faith, and obedience to God.

That's why the bloodlines are important. It wouldn't make much sense to have a rebellious spirit born into a family of those inclined towards faith.

That's so much BS (obedience to god shit).

And the sons of the gods saw that the daughters of men were fair and took them unto themselves as wives. They had children, making the off-spring Demi-gods. They were 1/2 Annunaki and 1/2 human. It is the ANNUNAKI blood-line that is important and that has NOTHING to do with 'faith' or 'obedience.'

This isn't a reference to aliens or UFO's.

The Sons of God is a reference to men on the earth with natural godliness in them. Godly qualities. Chastity, sobriety, serious mindedness. Not greedy, materialistic.

They began to take daughters for themselves who were not godly. The daughters of men who were not natural members of the bloodlines of the House of Israel.

They were polluting the bloodlines of the House of Israel by doing so.

The reason the Anunnaki were aware of the floods is that the passing of their home planet, Nibiru, is what caused them.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 854838

This is incorrect! The passing of Nibiru is to provide a safe place for the inhabitance of this planet while the earth changes are taking place!

Re: What was the purpose of the Biblical Flood? It appears there was none.
The story of the Biblical Flood brings to mind one of the most confusing issues in the Bible, one that few Christians will talk about. I haven't read anything about it on GLP, so here it is.

This is the reason the Old Testament God gave for destroying every man, woman and child except for Noah and his family:

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them” (Genesis 6:5-7, KJV, highlights my own).

And this is the reason the Old Testament God promised never to destroy mankind again.

“And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done” (Genesis 8:21, KJV, highlights my own).

So the omniscient God destroyed most of mankind because they were inherently sinful, and he promised never to do it again because....they were inherently sinful! As they so eloquently say on the GLP forum: WTF??

Here is what bothers me: If the reason for destroying humanity and the reason for promising never to do it again are the same, what was the purpose of killing so many people? According to God Himself, He knew mankind would continue to be just as evil (and they have), so not one damn thing had changed. The Flood thus appears to be a senseless act of unparalleled cruelty.

So what was the purpose of the Biblical Flood. It appears there was none.
 Quoting: The Professor 660063



"And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done” (Genesis 8:21, KJV, highlights my own)."


The sweet savour (savior?) came in the form of Jesus,

making another destruction like the flood unnecessary.

God accepts that we carry evil in our hearts, but Jesus

also made it possible for us to carry goodness and love

for the truth, and we always carry free will.

Re: What was the purpose of the Biblical Flood? It appears there was none.
Are you reading the same bible I'm reading?

The "Sweet savor" was the stench of Noah and his lads killing and burning to charcoal 1/7th of the "clean" animals and birds he had so laboriously saved.

Apparently drowning almost every living thing on Earth wasn't satisfying enough. He needed the pleasure of seeing a few burnt up as well.

Heck, seeing a bunch of sheep and cows and ducks go up in flame was so pleasing to the old sadist, he decided right then and there to let mankind in on the fun. His very next speech to Noah is the "Go ahead and eat the animals. Make them hate and fear you. Just let the blood out of first, okay, just to keep things nice and kosher?"

I’ve been wondering about this lately. What was the point of sinking Atlantis only to bring everyone back 10,000 years later and start the whole cycle over again.

The Earth requires a cleansing every 10,000 years?

According to the Oahspe Bible, the flood was the sinking of the continent Pan (aka Mu or Lemuria) in the Pacific Ocean, and the reason was, it was overrun by people with bad genetics and only a few remained of the genetically enhanced line of humans. So to save those few they were informed to build ships, and when the waters rose, they were on the ships and floated away in five directions and guided by angels/aliens to land on those areas and start over there.

I have probably done more research than you because I am aware of hundreds of similar stories about the Flood.

Who wrote the stories if everyone died?

Noa couldnt have written them all..
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 623805

----------------------------------

Questions have answers and any Christian apologist will have an answer and response. And the average Christian here will go and search on Google and see what Christian teachers have to say and come back here and respond. If one has a relationship with God, they claim why not ask Him for the answers? Why didn't God preserve the originals so there would be no dispute? If Jesus wanted to save everyone why not just show up and all will be saved? Of course, they have an answer to that.
But good point who wrote the stories if mankind was killed?

The biblical flood was caused by planetary movings. Think of it as a consequence of creation, not people being bad. It was inevitable.

Re: What was the purpose of the Biblical Flood? It appears there was none.
Genesis 6:5 cannot be ripped out of context from verses 1-4, which clearly tell of the ‘sons of god’ and nephilim. What they introduced to the planet, and to man in particular, was God brought about the flood.

Similarly, the verse in Genesis 8 has to be seen in light of what has just happened. Though Noah was ‘perfect in his generations’ ie had no ‘sons of god’ genetic issues, man was still wicked in God’s sight because of the fall of Adam, the fall that leads to all men being sinful, and all needing a redeemer.

The altar in the OT is a foreshadow of the cross, and the animals sacrificed a shadow of the perfect sacrifice that was to come. It wasn’t the smell of dead burning animals that God desired, it was why the sacrifices were being made, and the intent of men in doing so. That is why God later chastises rebellious Israel for their sacrifices which were nothing more than ritual, while they continued to worship idols.

Even after the flood, the path to redemption for man could only come from the one promised in Genesis 3. That redeemer was/is Jesus Christ.

There is no contradiction in the two verses quoted by the op, not when you read them in context of the book in which they appear.
