Man and God Man is created to praise and reverence and serve God our Lord and by this means to save his soul. It is true, and it is an ideal decision for any person to follow. However, human beings are strange creatures, and from the very beginning, people disobeyed God instead of serving and praising Him, which is evident from the Biblical examples. God gave Adam and Eve a paradise to dwell in and the opportunity to manage it and all the animals there in, but even with all this, they werent content and violated Gods request. They directly disobey God even after He has taken care of them so well. God brings about a great flood to destroy the wicked people that inhabit the earth.
Noah is told by God to build an ark and to put his family and animals in it before the rains come. The boat, family, and animals survive the flood, and the land dries up and is fruitful once again. God comes to Noah and his sons and blesses them. God told them to spread out and fill the earth. What do they end up doing? They migrate together until they find a place to build a city and a huge tower. They directly disobey Gods order after he delivered them from the great flood, and their reasoning for disobeying blatantly goes against Gods words.
God then mixes up all the peoples language and then He spreads them all over the earth. God had been so good to them by not destroying them in the great flood. He graciously and mercifully prepares them to survive the flood and afterwards they completely go against Gods simple command to spread out and populate the earth. There was another character that God really took care of, Solomon. God came to Solomon in a dream and said that he could have anything he wanted; Solomon chose the gift of wisdom and the Lord faithfully granted him that. Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the men of the East, and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
The Essay on Gilgamesh Genesis Gods Flood
The story of the flood in bo the the Epic of Gilgamesh and in Genesis follows a common outline of narratives, however, each of these similarities are addressed and carried out in separate ways. THe way in which a particular similarity is handled serves to reflect on the nature of the divinity in these stories... IN each story the flood is brought on as a result of the divinities dissatisfaction ...
He was wiser than any other man, and his fame spread to all the surrounding nations. Through Gods blessing, Solomon became one of the richest and wisest persons to walk the face of this planet. Even with all the blessings and glory that God gives him, do you think that he can keep the Lords basic laws that He had laid down? Of course not, Solomon has many foreign women that are from nations which the Lord has said that You must not intermarry with, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods. Nevertheless, Solomon keeps them as his wives. This results in the downfall of his glorious kingdom. God set Solomon up with the greatest kingdom in history but yet he isnt faithful enough to follow the Lords simple commands, even after the LORD had appeared to him and had spoken with him intimately.
God has repeatedly taken care of man but man returns Gods blessings by directly disobeying simple and basic commandments. With all of Gods knowledge, wisdom, and power, you would think that they need not to doubt his commands but trust that it is for the better, especially after witnessing His goodness and greatness first hand. The relationship between God and man is difficult. God gives great things and takes care of the humans. All the humans do is take those blessings and then disobey His instructions. Man is created to praise and reverence and serve God our Lord and by this means to save his soul, however humans deviant nature somehow interrupts with this logical conceptual frame, and instead of attaining eternal salvation by praising God most humans simply disobey his commandments.
