I would like to open up a sprited conversation/debate. And to continue with my theme "A Deeper Understanding". For through adversity comes much growth. Let's start off with MerrianWebsters definition of God. Since we are using the english languge to communicate we must first define who or what God is in english. Merrium-Webster: The being perfect in power, wisdom and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe. Genisis 9:11 King James version : And I will establish my covenent with you; niether shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Genisis 9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. "Perfection" which God is implies one who does not make mistakes. Yet here it seems God is apoligizing for the mistake of flooding the earth and killiing every living thing except Noah and the living things in the Ark. Then God wants to make it all better by giving mankind a "token" Rainbow? Makes one consider do I really want the God of the Bible as my God? Who is this God who gets upset with his own creation then distroys it and is but a reflection of human frailty.
