The world now is too in a mess, many people belive and serve the evils, even Christian murder and steal. In my point of view...there should be another flood sent...so why not?
Yeah basically what seebs said. He promised not to.
Now we also have Jesus which has taken the sins of all who are willing to have faith in him.

hector ;)

Have you read the verses about the flood? No mocking, no teasing, just marrying and feasting...god hates sex. Kill everyone and make pretty wallpaper in 2003 for a nusery wall. (I don;t mean to be offensive. I just want ppl to read the bible. There is nothing about preaching to the people, just slaughter. )

That's not true, Nonny :) There are plenty of punishments in the OT, but if you think it's all about slaughter, I wonder if you've read the Bible yourself? I also don't mean to be offensive, but this isn't a debate forum. As far as the OP, I agree with the others. God promised to never again destroy the earth with a flood. And because of the new covenent of Jesus Christ, the sins of those who seek Him are covered.

Love, Heather

because there is no god. there was no global flood. It's just us. all us humans on this blue dot. everyone on one blue dot in the galaxy. that's it. thats all there is, there ain't no more.......do no harm. :)
Hi there!

:wave:


1. Of course, there is a "god". Everyone has a "god". Everyone worships someonen or somethig... everyone. Now.. Jews and Christians worship the One, True God.

2. Yes, there was a global flood. The earth proves it... not the Bible.

3. This blue dot... will be gone someday, replaced by a new earth.

That's it... that's all there is... that sums it up.

Well, you have certainly received a variety of answers to your posting.


I want to address a few points you stated.

True Christians don't murder and steal. Many people claim Christianity as their religion and it is nothing but a "name" or a "label". They are nominal Christians... in name only. America is considered a "Christian" country, but the truth is, Christians are a definite minority. It is a "name-only" title.

The world is in a mess because God has allowed satan to rule this world. And until Jesus return, satan will rule this world. That's prophetic. When the world was destroyed by the flood, God promised to never destroy the world again in that same manner.

True, Malaka, that God will never again destroy the world with flood! In Zeph. 3:8, God says that he will destroy the world with Fire.

God "cleaned house" once with the flood and made the rainbow to remember it by, next time the Scriptures state God will use fire.

Gen 9:
11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither 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.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.


2 Peter 3
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
