I've always wondered, do the human Spirit, soul and body reflect the trinity, one but distinct? - The body - The Son incarnated - Soul - functions without physical contact in our dreams, will, in thoughts and intellect - The Father who has the will, - Spirit is the source of life - the Holy Spirit

@Josh Oastler thank you

Hi Jorge, thanks for this thought provoking question. I enjoyed reading through everyone’s comments and your feedback, and I was compelled to leave my thoughts. - It would have been impossible to separate the children from their parents without creating another crisis. The trauma of watching their parents judged while Noah’s family was preserved would not simply disappear. Those children could have grown up with resentment and vengeance, turning against Noah, his family, and even future generations. They would not have been neutral survivors; they would have possibly carried the pain of that judgement into the new world. So separating them from their parents would not have preserved peace or righteousness. It would likely have reproduced the same cycle of hostility and corruption that God was judging. - In the biblical framework, parents are responsible for their children. This is seen in Noah’s case, where his household was preserved with him. God chose Ham even though He knew Ham would later pioneer a new breed of unrighteous behaviour after the flood; he was still saved as part of Noah’s family. This suggests that preservation was not based on individual moral perfection, but on God’s broader covenantal decision. - Another approach would be to evaluate the extent of man’s corruption by looking at the few expositions in Scripture. We cannot fathom the magnitude of Adam’s sin, which plunged the whole creation into death and separation, but to have a glimpse into how grievous his sin was, we look at the punishment. If man’s rebellion was so severe wherein the least of creation, who was given dominion and called first over all, rebelled against an eternal God, plunging all of creation into corruption and suffering, then the weight of that offence becomes clearer. The first animal was killed and skinned to cover man in the garden, an innocent animal. The consequence of Adam’s sin was so severe that God expressed His regret in creating man, mentioning that all of His creation had been corrupted by man. Man sinned against God, and man’s judgement is determined by God. The Bible records that “all have sinned,” meaning that the overarching judgement for the nature of sin is death, regardless of human size; it is only quite unfortunate that every human must start from infancy. Whether a child or an adult, death became the reward for man’s new nature. The question then becomes: what would the nature of physical death be for each person as they wait for God’s redemptive plan? a gunshot or an earthquake or a flood? whichever, man was to be judged.

Hi everyone, I am Ruth Akachukwu (Ah-kah-chu-qwu) from Sydney, Australia. (Akachukwu means the Hand of God). I am a youth Bible Study Coordinator and have loved the scripture since I encountered Christ. I see the world through the lens of the Scripture and love how it has a clear stance on all aspects of life. The scripture has formed my socio cultural, political, scientific and religious ideologies and this has plunged me into conversations and great/fun arguments with friends and anyone who tries to have a conversation with me. I have followed amazing uncles like Ravi Zacharias, Voddie Baucham, Charlie Kirk of course, Tim Keller, Nabeel Qureshi, John Lenox, and recently been closely following the OG’s turning the world upside down today - David Wood, God Logic, IP, Chinasa, Kaleeah, etc! I was refered here by IP and looking forward to a great foundation in apologetics. - I hope to have a more structured and organised mindset or frame of mind when debating. I also would love to learn managing my tone, emotions, to thinking before speaking whist thinking proactively. So informally, I’ve had to defend my faith from my personal study, but a more excellent way, I believe is to learn from those with great experience and remain grounded. Thank you.
