Sometimes it was for DNA corruption. Others i think it was Gods mercy to keep a race from reproducing that was totally given to idolatry and unrepentant.

If it is unjust , then bring a charge against Him. Put Him and trial and get Him to answer for His actions. If you can’t, then bow down!

Old Testament. Eye for an eye. Wages of sin. New Testament. ….
Jesus paid it all.

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 9:50 AM]
There is no harm in asking the question. We should work through these things and be able to give an accurate response to defend God’s nature.

Mark Gonzales [02/02/2016 10:41 AM]
His chosen people.anyone against them is against God. Make an ant farm you the creator. Do as you will.

Tim Cushen [02/02/2016 11:00 AM]
The entire corrupted people and their livestock was done away with.

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 11:00 AM]
Is that really how you witness to people? Mark Gonzales

Tim Cushen [02/02/2016 11:18 AM]
I believe the short answer is we don’t have to defend it. God is sovereign.

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 11:39 AM]
The average person doesnt even know what that means. Young christians need guidance and the gospel needs defense. You cant just answer a question with God is sovereign and expect that to answer inquisitive minds. Defending the nature of God is our job. John 18:20-21 KJVS
[20] Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. [21] Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

Tim Cushen [02/02/2016 12:09 PM]
Ok. YOU defend.

Mark Gonzales [02/02/2016 12:12 PM]
As you see also in the book of acts. The two that lied to the holyspirit. Died, how will you answer that. Is it fear the beggining of wisdom

Romans 6:23 (KJV)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 12:21 PM]
That easy to defend. They lied to the Holy Ghost and God wanted the church to understand he meant business. And yes the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom and the church learned a lesson that day. God was still showing that under grace he has the right to judge immediately because he is sovereign.

though we have answered who begott these women and children in WHERE DID THEM BIGGENS COME FROM? http://www.pentecostaltheology.com/where-did-them-biggens-come-from-or-what-exactly-is-a-nephilim/

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 1:36 PM]
The angels werent in heaven now were they.

John Kissinger [02/02/2016 1:47 PM]
the women and kids killed by the Israelites werent in heaven now were they?

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 2:03 PM]
Nope

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 2:03 PM]
The “sons of god” were angels. You cant get away from that.

John Kissinger [02/02/2016 2:05 PM]
having per-mutated the daughters of men and produced giants offspring was the reason to be destroyed per the OP by Vlad Stepanov

Mark Tague [02/02/2016 3:14 PM]
It would be a very small God that would need us to defend his reputation.

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 3:20 PM]
He doesnt “need” us to. He wants us to. We are his ambassadors.

Vlad Stepanov [02/02/2016 6:25 PM]
Apologetics exist for a reason.

Mark Tague [02/02/2016 6:28 PM]
He doesn’t want us enmeshed in vain jangling, He wants us preaching Christ. Stop blunting your swords “sparring” each other and get busy telling the lost about the Blood of the Lamb.

Ricky Grimsley [02/02/2016 6:48 PM]
Exactly.
