No, you can't. Listen to these words from Genesis. Take it, if necessary, as a personal warning, "Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it" (Genesis 4:7). Turn around. Don't drown. Please. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2059:19&version=NIV 2009-10-01T22:09:21-05:00 The promised Messiah is prophesied to arrive "like a flood," catching people off guard with the power of his message. That certainly describes the rapid spread of Christ's gospel during the years following his resurrection. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:13-16&version=NIV 2009-09-02T17:40:57-05:00 In Genesis 6 God tells Noah that he is going to flood the Earth and all that is in it. He then tells Noah to build an ark and how he should build it. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206-7%20&version=NIV 2009-07-30T12:04:38-05:00 The story of the great Flood, which God sent to wipe clean a world that persisted in acting wickedly. Noah, his family, and the animals he brought onboard the ark were spared by God from the destruction. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206&version=NIV 2009-07-29T15:54:10-05:00 When the Earth become intolerably filled with wickedness, God instructed Noah to build his famous ark. Noah obeyed without question, despite the apparent strangeness of the command. Noah's obedience would soon be rewarded when the Flood arrived. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%209:13-15&version=NIV 2009-07-27T15:34:28-05:00 After the Flood, God promised to never again destroy the world with a flood. The rainbow is a sign by which we can remember His promise. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen.6.1-Gen.6.22&version=31 2009-07-14T10:14:33-05:00 There's a reason Noah is held up as an exemplary servant of God, and it can be seen in this passage. When God called Noah to do something that seemed baffling and pointless--in this case, to build a gigantic boat in preparation for a flood that was many years in the future--he didn't balk, but set about the task faithfully. He trusted God, and understood that God's perspective is very different from our own. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/icelandic/Noah%20and%20the%20Great%20Flood%20Icelandic.pdf 2009-06-18T16:43:57-05:00 Icelandic: The wickedness of men causes God to send a flood that will destroy all that breathe air.
