God in Noah's and the Prodical Son Parable
The god present in the story of Noah differs from the god present in the parable of the prodigal son in many peculiar and interesting ways. The presentation of man differs quite a bit in these two stories as well and have many contradicting points between them. The representation of god in the story of Noah from the beginning shows a veryemotional and regretful god in more then one occasion. To be more specific god shows regret first for man's wickedness and cold blooded heart. God also showed regret whengod made his covenant with Noah that would not use flood to destroy the earth again. In the story of Noah, god is also very angry and revengeful. God is enrage withall of the human race and decides to destroy earth from one moment to the next withouteven really thinking about it. For example when god tells Noah is this: " The end of allflesh is come before me; For the earth is filled with violence through them; and be hold Iwill destroy them with the earth." (GENESIS 6-9). With that statement god proved thatanger and revenge led him to the destruction of earth. God was also impulsive and extremely judgmental in the story of Noah. God showed being impulsive when he decided to d
In conclusion, God and humanity are represented totally different in both stories and are very distinctively separated. God's generosity starts by giving the younger his share of the inheritance even before the younger son is entitled to it. The younger son shower that mankind is capable of change, humble and seeking repentance with one phase the younger son practiced to tell his father when the younger son would see him : " Father I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. God's impulsiveness brought him to destroy every living thing in the planet including animals, plants and men alike. God's compassion is proved towards the older son when god says to the older son: "Son thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine" (LUKE15). In the parable of the prodigal son mankind is capable of change, humble and sinful first when the younger son wastes all of his inheritance in harlots and at bars. Mankind and humanity is portrayed very differently in both stories. God's memory was also challenged when god's pact between Noah and every other living thing. God shows compassion to the younger son when the younger comes home god sends his servants to get his son cleaned up and throws a party for the younger son forgiving the younger son without a question. The feeling of all knowing is because god knows exactly the time the younger son is coming and also before the younger son asks for forgiveness god already knows what the younger son is going to say. "Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. God is patient because god knows the younger son is coming back sooner and ask for forgiveness.
