The Paradox of Using Miracles to Explain the Bible Accounts
by Comatose in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i've been thinking about this for a week or so.

ill try to lay it out as clearly as possible without getting to long winded and id like to hear your thoughts.. .

i know the biblical account of the flood has been discussed ad nauseum.
glenster

I'm not recommending a literal or conservative stance but I'll take a try at
these just regarding it as a story and theology. I don't think it creates a
problem with fundamentalism except maybe an all-beneficent option.
"Why didn’t a god capable of such miracles simply with a “blink of an eye”
wipe the bad people off the face of the earth? Why would a perfect god incapable
of petty anger kill all life on earth over the acts of some bad people?
Why not exnihilate a perfect heaven on Earth with perfectly ethical people if
He's all-beneficent? He's not, and people aren't, or we'd live in one. In the
OT, He's capable of getting PO'ed at what people do with their choices, and in
this story all but the little group became violently criminal. God would have
the prerogative to do with it all as He wants like me with the peds in GTA III
(welcome to the worst place in America)--why not kill them?
"If god is capable of miracles to the extent the flood would indicate, why did
he require a wooden boats construction that took decades to build? Why did he
require them to gather food and supplies when he can provide food from heaven?
Why train a dog to fetch when you can get things yourself? He wanted them to
show effort and not just concede to Him.
"If god spoke to Noah? – Genesis 6:13, Genesis 7:1 If god shut Noah in the
ark? – Genesis 7:16 If god remembered Noah? – Genesis 8:1 Then why was Noah
sending out birds to try to see if the water had receded? – Genesis 8:6"
I'm not sure what the question is unless it's another about an all-beneficent
God providing heaven on Earth or people showing effort with action and not just
words, in which case see above.

"why the test?"
I'd say God, like life, isn't all-beneficent. Various outlooks:
