39. Did God Change His Mind? | Understanding God “Repenting” in Genesis 6
Q: Do you think it's that tension of his divine mercy and justice, which is the source of that regret?
Yes, because he, before he says, again, I'm saying regret, but repent. Before God says, I repent for making man, it's because the increase of evil and wickedness.
37. Understanding the Biblical Flood: Was the Flood Global or Local?
Q: How could the Nephilim possibly be after the flood?
The text does not specify their fate post-flood, leaving it open for interpretation.

Q: How much of this is a polemic to the other traditions?

36. Ancient Flood Stories: Gilgamesh, Atrahasis, and the Bible Compared
Q: What do you see as the main differences between Atrahasis and Gilgamesh?
