Genesis 6:11 Context
8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

Wesley's Notes for Genesis 6:11
6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God - That is, in the matters of God's worship; either they had other gods before him, or worshipped him by images: or, they were corrupt and wicked in despite of God. The earth was also filled with violence, and injustice towards men; there was no order nor regular government, no man was safe in the possession of that which he had the most clear right to, there was nothing but murders, rapes and rapines.

11 years AgoKevin for verse 11The quote or text made no sense. Before god. I thought he / she/ it created man before any man can conjure a new god or may gods. That means that corruption started after eve ate the trees fruit. If god is responsible to all creation and everything in it that means God knew evil will spring among us. Which In turn evil is necessary in an imperfect world to learn from mistakes. This is nothing but a humans opinion not god's because god cannot make mistakes. How can you say before worship when you believe in Adam and eve being the first to be brought to life and then blame other gods that most Lilly Adam and and there people created. Also for a person to live 900 years and no record of his existence lol dude must've been bored.Reply Report
