since Genesis 6:5 is true, does that not clearly state Genesis 6:8 is evil? finding favor in his eyes is equivalent to fear of being unfavorable in his eyes. Jehovah accepted that forced respect from Noah for it came from his own will to follow in Jehovah's path to avoid what would happen if he became unfavorable. I need righteous feedback please! -

Andrea Pia Kennedy Yates (born July 2, 1964) is a former resident of Houston, Texas, who confessed to drowning her five children in their bathtub on June 20, 2001.
If you think she's a monster, let me ask you this: How many children did God drown in the flood? What kind of father is he?

i think she was listening to lies told to her own self by the voice in her head that is misleading the entire nation by heart. Jehovah is reasoning. you feel that because jehovah drown people he is bad? have you thought that he made life? he knows when he puts one of his sons to death it merely stands as that those sons no longer are able to continue the development of their relationship with Jehovah under the initial influence of Satan. that is to show that it is wise to not put any importance in this world for even the flesh itself from your own body is a deceit of Fear. -

Hi Ricardopf, not sure what your question is. Both verses are true. Verse 5 is a general observation and characterization by God of the human race. Verse 8 shows that even when all around you, you can still be considered good by God. That is the theme throughout the bible. Regardless your own defects, the people around you etc, you can still try to be different. How? Well, as the rich man and the teacher of the law asked Jesus, and Jesus responded: love you neighbour and follow me (summarized in my own words, see Luke 10:25, Luke 18:18).
Hope this answers your question somehow.

did Jehovah consider Noah's favor inclining to him as good in his eyes only because it was a will of evil respect that was forced out of his own will by the evident response that would occur if you were unfavorable to Jehovah? -

i feel that this verse explains the understanding of fear to Jehovah for our congregation constantly teaches two contradictions which are to love and fear Jehovah, but Jehovah and jesus only say this because that was the foundation that maintained the course to finding love In the eye of Jehovah in mankind. -
The Searcher
The account of Noah, from Genesis 6:9 onwards, shows that he was a righteous and God-fearing man before he knew of any warnings of divine judgment on his fellow humans who were godless.
His love for God (his Father) was heartfelt, not based on fear!
God promised Abraham that if He found there were 10 decent people in Sodom & Gomorrah, he'd spare the whole of the populations from judgment - He couldn't, so He didn't. (Genesis 18:32)

i came to reason from Jehovah through Jesus that because of jesus' death that gave us reasoning or understanding, we are perfect. the only way we willingly choose to lose perfection is by allowing a lie from our own selves which instantly leads to sinning at heart. a special verse in the bible shows how we both have jesus and satan within us and they each correspond to the heart and mind(1 peter 3:4). i reasoned from Jehovah through Jesus a category called "False instruments" that is summed up of any negative emotion. i reasoned by Jehovah through Jesus that they are false and have no use for they came to existence the instant Lucifer sinned at heart against our father by using a multitude of negative emotions brought up by his own self. i have much more to show the nations for Jehovah, but i need more witnesses to let their ear hear what i reasoned from Jehovah's word, the Scriptures.

well does it not say that his righteous started out from a bad? genesis 6:5 says so itself. there is no way that jehovah said we are always bad and only bad, but somehow an exception arose without jehovah manifesting himself? my main focus is that in order to say 6:8 is good even in the eyes of jehovah, you must contradict Genesis 6:5. what am i missing?
it is not because there were no good people in sodom or in gomarrah that the population was not spared from judgement, it was because all the bad easily blinded a man of fear to jehovah from seeing the potential good that Jehovah himself would see among us all, not just in within the bad of sodom or gomarrah.
