As Linda was reviewing the
past lesson on Noah, an older man in the group began saying, “God made a BIG
MISTAKE!” He was getting louder and louder to where the students were looking at him rather than listening to the teacher. So Richard asked him privately why he was upset. The man replied pointing to a sentence in the book, "Look here, God made a BIG MISTAKE." Not wanting the man to become a further distraction to the teaching, Richard said we'd talk after class. At the end of class, the
man continued his argument that God made "a big mistake" in bringing a worldwide
flood destroying all the people of the earth except for Noah’s family. Basically he was saying that God had unjustly killed thousands with the flood. We tried to explain that God was punishing
those that had done evil. These same people refused to listen to Noah's warnings of impending disaster and stubbornly refused to repent. However, the gentleman was solidly convinced that he was right and everyone else wrong. He didn’t want to reason. Instead, he
became even louder and finally stomped out of the room. Pray for this 92 year old man named Toby. Ask God to open his mind to understanding.
