Grace and Mercy in the Story of Noah and the Ark

Even if God is in the most extreme anger, I find a way to show grace and compassion. In the days of Noah and the floods, we can see the truth of this statement many times. It was full of violence in about 2348 BC. "The Lord sees that the evil of mankind is the earth, every gradient of the heart is always evil" (Genesis 6: 5). God says that man no longer thinks (about the Lord), follows the Lord completely, or does not continue its cause.

And Noah's stories and floods refer not only to us, but to the justice of God, but also see the mercy of God: Noah and his family are saved in the ark with floods Human beings thus got a second chance, and God placed a rainbow in the sky as a promise for sinful human patience (Genesis 9: 8-17). Therefore, in these early chapters of Genesis, we do not have a very well-developed concept of God's mercy. When Moses and Israelites were originally written, they read these chapters and we still need to learn more about God's mercy. But the mercy of God is clearly evident. God is not portrayed as the only anger of justice and punishment of God. Instead, he can relieve strict justice by his mercy (so to speak)

Many people teach the Old Testament to teach law and the New Testament teaches Grace. However, in the case of the Old Testament it turned out that God showed grace. Because God gave Cain's mercy, grace and hope, Israel and many other spills are the story of grace The story of Noah, the story is no different. God obviously believed that Cain's murder case is not worthy of death, whether he or someone else's hand, but this may indicate that the story of more murder is more than what we were told It was. Do not forget that the dialogue between Cain and Abel is uncertain. And it is possible that the elements of this story have not been handed to us yet.

Some details of Noah's story seems like a myth, many Biblical scholars believe that the story and box of Noah was inspired by the story of the nearby Mesopotamian flood, but is particularly legendary, "Gilgamesh epic." Centuries ago when Noah appeared in the Bible, these ancient stories have been transmitted from one generation to the next. Eric Klein, a Biblical archaeologist, says, "Early Mesopotamian stories are very similar, the gods are flooding to destroy humans," They chose people to survive. Boats Did you make a happy life by making animals and bringing animals to land on the mountains? I think this is the same story. "
