Bible Question: unless i'm mistaken, only the creatures living in the oceans survived the flood - what "sin" was the creatures on the land and in the air, other than man, guilty of? not to question god, but were not the animals "innocent"? while their decendemts were sparred, THEIR lives were cut short - thanks! |
Bible Answer: to add to your question i offer other scripture that troubles me deeply - Joshua 11:6 6 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, because by this time tomorrow I will hand all of them over to Israel, slain. You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots." where does this animal cruelty fit in with the scheme of things ? |
