Why would a kind and loving god wipe out all of humanity in a flood? Or kill a guy for practicing birth control? Or turn a woman into salt for daring to take one last look at her home?

A righteous and loving God Who judges all sin and saves those who would turn from sin.

1) Jesus was given the option to do this for humankind. Jesus decided to do so.

2) All of humanity was evil (they were probably like a bunch of hitlers or osama bin ladens)

3) Birth control is not wrong and I honestly dont know what passage your talking about

4) Her looking back was showing a longing for that place all the evil that went with it. It wasn’t the act of looking back as much as it is the act of longing to be among that sinful civilization.

According to the story in the Bible, the New-Testament god Jehovah did it to ransom such of the Jews as accepted the sacrifice from their Old-Testament former owner Yahweh, who committed all those atrocities. Not that I believe it, but that’s the only way the story could make sense.

Jesus knew he had to die. He had a choice when he was on the cross…he was even asked if he was really the son of God why didn’t he save himself. He had to be the sacrifice for the world’s sins.

He wiped out humanity because they were wicked. And Noah was faithful to Him so he spared him and his family’s lives.

I don’t know about that one?

And the women looked back because she wanted to go back to all the evil and wickedness she once lived in. This was a test from God to see basically which they wanted, God or wicked things.
