Yes, I totally agree with you on both cases.Jsovermyer wrote: ↑06 Aug 2019, 22:14 How about Sodom and Gomorrah? And Lot's wife being turned to a pillar of salt? I had a professor of Biblical Archaology in college tell me that this story was consistent with a nuclear bomb. Something to think about.

The flood would also be my selection. The act of wiping the entire world clean, city by city country by country...billions killed in wrath.MatereF wrote: ↑06 Aug 2019, 03:49I agree with you. It must have been a nasty sight.Chrystal Oaks wrote: ↑05 Aug 2019, 00:19 For me, it is the flood. God didn't want anything more to do with the new creation called humans and decided to get rid of them. Can you imagine - after the torrential rain stopped, the water peppered with bloated, floating bodies of humans and animals. This is probably why God said that he would no longer let his overwhelming wrath get the best of him again.

This was another instant where looking back gets you screwed and it also displays God's wrath for a City beyond redemption.Benthic wrote: ↑08 Aug 2019, 11:47Yes, I totally agree with you on both cases.Jsovermyer wrote: ↑06 Aug 2019, 22:14 How about Sodom and Gomorrah?

Wow. You paint quite a picture with that comment. I've read the story of The Flood many times, yet I have never imagined that, bloated bodies floating around. And I do agree with you on the flood. God really showed forth His wrath with that one.Chrystal Oaks wrote: ↑05 Aug 2019, 00:19 For me, it is the flood.

It's interesting how God seemed to not want anything more to do with humans, yet he still advised Noah to save different species so that they would not go extinct. So, I guess God did not totally want to abandon humans.Chrystal Oaks wrote: ↑05 Aug 2019, 00:19 For me, it is the flood.

Also, I was surprised by the number of times the covenants seemed more like bribes, “If you will do [this] then you will be safe, secure, and your offspring will be boundless.”

Interesting perspective. You're right, they do come across like bribes. It almost seems like God is a physical being with strong emotions and can't seem to make up his mind, but Christianity teaches that God is an all-powerful and omnipotent substance, not human. It is very confusing.vermontelf wrote: ↑10 Aug 2019, 21:14 What I found surprising was how many times God reneged on his covenants (because the humans failed) and then if the human repented he would forgive them and save his wrath for the human’s sons instead. Who holds off punishment like that?
Also, I was surprised by the number of times the covenants seemed more like bribes, “If you will do [this] then you will be safe, secure, and your offspring will be boundless.”
