Actually you have quoted from a translation of the canonized scripture, ignored context and interpreted through your own religious paradigm.
Can you please help us, by putting it back into context? Your input could help and many others!
We need to remember, God speaks to us, through His Written Word (scriptures). Men (us) speak as they we are moved by the Holy Ghost
2Pe 1:20-21
(20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
(21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
1Co 15:21-26
(21) Since a man brought death, (First Adam) a man also brought life back from death (2nd Adam, Jesus).
(22) As everyone dies because of Adam, so also everyone will be made alive because of Christ.
By looking at the written Word, God tells us how man has brought death into the world. God has revealed it and God has spoken it. God does not need keep on reminding us who brings death into the world, when He has already told us.
Just like our own parents, our parent’s teach us and guides us as we grow up. They teach us right from wrong, things that will harm us and things that will keep us safe. We brought this death situation upon ourselves.
When we were younger, our mum’s and dad’s taught us to cross the road. They taught us the dangers of crossing the road when cars were passing by. If we ignored that instruction and guidance, and just crossed the road when cars were passing, we would more likely get run over and die!
Why did we die and who killed us? It was through our own negligence, because we did not listen to the instructions from our parents. God did not kill me!
And as we read the Bible, we need to hold that thought, throughout, because God has clearly given us so many clear instructions, which will help and lead us to eternal life. God has clearly shown us throughout, what will harm us and what won’t. He has clearly shown us what He likes and what He hates. He has clearly shown us what will give us eternal life and what won’t. He has given us the choice to accept or not to accept, Him. If we choose not to accept, His way, that was our choice.
Deu 30:15
(15) See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
So when we see a scripture in the written Word like:
Gen 6:17
(17) I'm about to send a flood on the earth to destroy all people under the sky-every living, breathing human. Everything on earth will die.
When we look at this scripture, it’s painting God in a bad light! But, we need to ask ourselves some very serious questions: -
Why did God do this? Why did He kill and destroy all these people? What made Him angry with man to do such a thing?
The answers are all in His written Word!
Man disobeyed God. Man wanted to do as he pleased, and man ignored all God’s instructions, and man became evil in God’s eyes.
Gen 6:5-6
(5) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
(6) And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Who is at fault?
When you are born in God’s spirit, it will also grieve you in your heart, what man is doing today!
Let’s go back to the beginning, in Genesis:-
Gen 2:17
(17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
On that day God tells us here, Adam would surely die! But as we read further along into the book of Genesis, we see Adam lived for another 930 years?
Gen 5:5
(5) And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
So what died on the day Adam took the fruit? We clearly see in Gen 5:5, he lived until he was 930 years old, so what died on that day?
God does not lie, so something died on that day! So what died?
We need to look at our own actions and examine ourselves much more than we do, to see why bad things happen. Why does someone commit suicide, why does someone gossip, why does someone steal, why does a young child go into a school and shoot other children, why does someone get drunk, or take drugs, why does someone lie to another and have a affair, why does someone start a fight, drive a car in a reckless manner, crash it and kill someone in the process!
Jam 1:13-14
(13) When someone is tempted, he shouldn't say that God is tempting him. God can't be tempted by evil, and God doesn't tempt anyone.
(14) Everyone is tempted by his own desires as they lure him away and trap him.
(2Ti 4:2) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Joh 16:7-8
(7) However, I am telling you the truth: It's good for you that I'm going away. If I don't go away, the helper (Holy Spirit) won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
(8) He (Holy Spirit) will come to convict the world of sin, to show the world what has God's approval, and to convince the world that God judges it.
Who is at fault!
