Genesis 9

SAB, Genesis 9

• 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

PER SAB
(9:2) "The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast. Into your hand are they delivered."
According to this verse, all animals fear humans. Although it is true that many do, many do not. Sharks and grizzly bears, for example, are generally much less afraid of us than we are of them
(9:2) "Into your hands are they delivered."
God gave the animals to humans, and they can do whatever they please with them. This verse has been used by bible believers to justify all kinds of cruelty to animals and environmental destruction.

• 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

So god is all for execution of murders.

PER SAB
(9:6) "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed."
Then why did God put a mark on Cain (after he murdered Abel) so that others wouldn't kill him? (Gen.4:15).
Does God approve of capital punishment?
What the Bible says about capital punishment

• 9:15 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.

Ok so its ok for god to flood small areas, and kill people in those areas.

• 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
• 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
• 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
• 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Noah is just wrong here, mad at canaan because his father saw him nude. So he is going to turn canaan in to a slave.

PER SAB
(9:20-25)
"Noah ... drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent."
The "just and righteous" Noah (6:9, 7:1) plants a vineyard, gets drunk, and lies around naked in his tent. His son, Ham, happens to see his father in this condition. When Noah sobers up and hears "what his young son had done unto him" (what did he do besides look at him?), he curses not Ham, who "saw the nakedness of his father," but Ham's son, Canaan. "A servant of servants shall he [Canaan] be unto his brethren." This is a typical case of biblical justice, and is one of many Bible passages that have been used to justify slavery.
Are we punished for the sins of others?

Genesis 7

SAB, Genesis 7

• 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
• 7:3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

In genesis 6 noah was told to take a pair of each, god changed his mind?

• 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

Damm kills everything? even the plants?

• 7:13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
• 7:14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

Didn't catch this till I was looking at what SAB said, but it is good
PER SAB
(7:13-14) "In the selfsame day"
All of the animals boarded the ark "in the selfsame day."
Since there were a million species or so at the time, the animals must have boarded at a rate of at least 20 animals/second.

Damm those animals where moving fast.

7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

That is alot of water.

PER SAB
(7:19-20) "The mountains were covered."
The flood covered the highest mountain tops (Mount Everest?) with fifteen cubits to spare. Where did all the water come from? Where did it all go? Why is there no evidence of such a massive flood in the geological record?

7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

Mass murder, with the few remaining numbers of each specie this would result in total incest, and biological disaster. The genetic make up would be so corrupt it would be unreal.

PER SAB
(7:21-23)
"All flesh died that moved upon the earth."
God drowned everything that breathes air. From newborn babies to koala bears -- all creatures great and small, the Lord God drowned them all. (Except for the Nephilium, that is.)
Did everyone die in the flood?
