Genesis 7:21-22

Every living being on the earth died---every bird, every animal, and every person. Everything on earth that breathed died. (Genesis 7:21-22)

Three points:

1. Many accuse God of killing innocent people.

They especially like to blame God for killing, murdering is their term, innocent, helpless babies.

2. They refuse to understand why people had to die.

God told Adam that if someone sins, that is, disobeys the rules, laws, that God gives, that person must die. Adam know that, but disobeyed anyway.

3. They refuse to understand that Noah preached for 120 years.

All the people had to do was step into the ark. They knew to disobey God's rules would lead to death, but they refused to obey, so they and their children died. It was the parent's fault in this situation. We don't have to make the same stupid mistake they did.
