Dear Editor,
God has no limit as to what He does and what He can do!
Adam and Eve disobeyed God after she told the Serpent that God told them not to eat or touch the fruit from the forbidden tree, “Lest ye die.” The serpent said, “Ye shall not surely die. God knows that when you eat the fruit it will open your eyes, and be like gods, knowing good and evil.”
They listened to the Devil and were evicted from the Garden by God who then posted angels with flaming swords to keep Mankind out!
Since then, we their descendants, although we may know good from evil, tend to prefer evil instead of doing good, thereby disobeying God, who commands us to do Good.
Eventually, when Adam and Eve’s descendants became so wicked, and that all they could do in their “minds” and “hearts” was only evil continually, “it repented the LORD that he had made man on earth.” God decided that He would destroy “both Man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air” whom He had created.
But in Noah, he found Him to be “a just man” in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Then God gave Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives, a second chance to repopulate the earth. He also provided for repopulating the animals.
But the wicked did not believe Noah when he told them God was going to send a great flood to destroy them. Over the hundred years, Noah kept preaching to them while he and his family built the ship: Noah’s Ark.
So God sent the flood and destroyed them all and the animals left behind.
To be continued.
