How do we know God is "Good"?

Excuse me, but don't twist my words.I'm saying that the phrase "everyone except Noah and his family" doesn't include Noah and his family. Not that "everyone" can be interpreted in such a way as to not include Noah and his family.Anyway... anyone else getting a really specific vibe off Mike here? The kind of vibe you get when a five year old busts out crying at Bambi's mom getting shot, and his mom says, "No... no, it's okay. I'm sure the other deers took her to the doctor's and she got all better."Sorry Mike, but Bambi's mom is worm food, alongside all those little flood babies.This message has been edited by Dan Carroll, 11-18-2004 12:13 PM

But you for a long time - touted that "everyone" with breath in them. Are you sure you are getting this from scripture?I'm getting a vibe that you cannot provide anything scripturally accurate.I mean, fun and games, and "silly mike" runaway trains cannot be established as good refutations.

Mike, It would seem that I was wrong...the men were "wiped out"; no women or children though. Unless you want to say that particular men weren't mentioned, like John Doe...or the Egyptians...so maybe they weren't wiped out.Hmmm...perhaps that explains why the Egyptians didn't seem to notice the flood.Seriously, any babies that were killed in any of the genocides mentioned above would have been innocent. So, they would have gone right to paradise. That's a much better place than on Earth. Plus they didn't have to worry about paying for that first sin that they didn't have a chance to commit.

I was keeping things simple for the purpose of discussion, Mike. I didn't see the need to say "(except Noah and his family)" every time the subject came up. But you know that, so stop being an asshat.But if you want to get really specific? The Bible lists exactly what people were on the ark. Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them.It then says that all flesh died that moved upon the earth.So yes. Everyone died except Noah and his family. Direct from the Bible. Happy?

We've passed the witching point and if anyone has more to add, start a continuation thread in PNT.
