CAIN AND Abel For Dis obedience he was cursed but in verse 15 God's grace and mercy still on Cain
10 And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground. 11 So now
you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you.
A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth."
13 And Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment
is greater than I can bear! 14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen
that anyone who finds me will kill me."
15 And the Lord said to him, *"Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

Noah found grace in God, but the rest of man was wicked all flesh
Gen6:5 Then *the Lord saw that the
wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and
that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
11 The
earth also was corrupt before God, and the
earth was filled with violence. 12 So God looked upon the earth, and
indeed it was corrupt; for
all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

Abraham pleads and bartar's with God for Him not to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if there are righteous people there ,from 50 down to 10,could not find 10 righteous
Gen18:"Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because
their sin is very grave, 21 I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know."
22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord. 23 And Abraham came near and said, "
Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24
Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
26
So the Lord said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes."
27 Then Abraham answered and said, "Indeed now, I who
am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: 28
Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five?"
So He said, "If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it."
29 And he spoke to Him yet again and said, "Suppose there should be forty found there?"
So He said, "I will not do it for the sake of forty."
30 Then he said, "Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there?"
So He said, "I will not do
it if I find thirty there."
31 And he said, "Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:
Suppose twenty should be found there?"
So He said, "
I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty."
32 Then he said, "Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more:
Suppose ten should be found there?"
And He said, "I will not destroy
it for the sake of ten." 33 So the Lord went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
God's mercy on Lot and his family
12 Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city--
take them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it."

I guess the Holy Spirit had more pressing appointments when I read the Bible.
Roli Quote Until you humble yourself before God and repent of your sin you will be separated and overlooked and remain in the natural intellect, always in the dark regarding God.
You trust your mind ,your reasoning and your logic and it gives you some sort of position or leg to stand on here in this life but where does that really compare to God
The very breath you just took indicates His mercy and grace ,hoping you will turn to Him.
Most people must lose a few things that they cherish in this life before they turn to God, and the first thing comes to mind is pride,arrogance,self righteousness in thinking your logic can figure God out and because you don't understand something you think you gain the right to dis. Him.
You think you will undersatnd the nature ,purpose and heart of God from a human mindset and understanding, sorry,not how God works, it is like a man who casts his pearls before swine.
I have said before, how do expect to see God's righteousness and Holiness thru your natural eyes,you will only see Him as you have so freely expressed, but there is a side to Him you will never know,unless,unless, you except Jesus as Savior but again you must see your sin and need of a savior before that takes place.
I respect the fact that you have that right to choose
Unless you see you need God's forgiveness you will forever remain on the side of confusion and anger and left with the idea your justified in your conclusions and descriptions of God ,
I wonder if your views influence those close to you into following your views as well .
Are you giving them a chance to make their own decision, maybe it will be your daughter that God speaks to and saves,which will lead you to the truth,but it sounds like you already have all knowledge and understanding.
I wonder who will appear the dictator
