If god is all knowing, why did he need to flood the world and start over?

It's a parable - a story to teach us a lesson.  The Bible is not always an accurate history of life.

my personal theory states that they all died with the flood. And God has his reasons for EVERYTHING.

you need to ask this question to god, because only he knows,,

Nobody created God. God is eternal without beginning or end. Do I understand this, no. \n\nThe only thing we know is that God aquired wisdom in eternity past. \n\nWISDOM SPEAKING\nPro 8:23  I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. \nPro 8:24  When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. \nPro 8:25  Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: \nPro 8:26  While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. \nPro 8:27  When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: \nPro 8:28  When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: \nPro 8:29  When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: \nPro 8:30  Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; \nPro 8:31  Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

It's not that He "can't", but that He won't.  It would defeat the purpose of His having given us a little thing called free will.  And no, we were not made to be perfect.  He knew, and knows, how everything is going to turn out.  He knew what was going to happen in the Garden of Eden too.

He can't help himself, he is deluded into thinking he can pull it off. God dwells in Eternity, He went down the time line & took a look, then told John what was going to happen. Prophesy is not "foretelling" the future. It is History told, before it happens.

Ok, prepair yourself.  Before God even began creating the earth he has known EVERYTHING.  He knew that you would ask this question and that i would answer it.  God's choice is more God's will, and we are all in God's will.  If he wills it, it IS. \n\nIts easier to think of as a destiny.  He has the path set and we follow it.  Eventhough we are making our own desicions they are not new to Him.

Yes God did kill eveyone eexcept Noah and his family and the animals of course. The reason he did this is because eveyone was sining so greatly and the only one who not was Noah. God wanted to start over and give us all a second chance. Aren't you glad he did? Or you wouldn't be here now would you?

Actually, the real question is, why would he have to rest on the 7th day?\nWhy would he have to communicate via a burning bush.\nWhy would he have to kill over and over (floods, plagues)\nWhy would he be upset at us for gaining knowledge of good and evil?\nWhy would he want us to be mindless sheep?\n\nThese are not things that, by definition, any god would ever have to do.

God has a plan for you and me and He alone decides when to accomplish His plans. He is a faithful God not willing to let any of us to perish.His plans for us are known only by Him.

In reference to God, it means that He is the beginning and end of everything.  From A to Z, He has it covered.

Well, since he created us all, he must be powerful. There are many stories in the Bible that show us this.

God loved the world so much that He sent his son to die for you.  Jesus died so the world could be saved.  Jesus then proved His divinity when He rose from the dead.

I have told my chidren this following story.When the world was made the land became dirty and all messy.One day God in heaven decided to clean it up.So he took some water from the ocean and began to sprinkle the world.When he thought it to be clean enough he added a beautiful rainbow.To show that the rain falling from above is a gift to us.Now I tell it to my grandchidren.

Yes, God IS all-knowing and sovereign. It's repeated in the Bible over and over again. \nIsaiah 25:1 O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.\nPsalm 139:1-4   LORD, You have searched me and known me.\n    You know when I sit down and when I rise up;\n         You understand my thought from afar.\n    You scrutinize my path and my lying down,\n         And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.\n    Even before there is a word on my tongue,\n         Behold, O LORD, You know it all.\n\nHis plans are always fulfilled. (Prov 21:30; Romans 9)\n\nBut oy, that is a hard question you ask. I do believe we have free-will. We are responsible for our actions. But how are God's sovereignty and our free will compatible? I can't figure it out... BUT there are great Christian thinkers of the past who came to some conclusion. Why not read, "On the Freedom of the Will" by St. Augustine or \nread a brief bio. concerning "On the.." (scroll down a little more than half-way): http://www.desiringgod.org/library/biographies/98augustine.html\n\nI think I'll read it as well... ; )

The whole getting saved during the tribulation thing is set in stone, but it is no stone any human has ever seen. It all depends on what God's plan is. Ask Him. He know everything. Don't be afraid to wait a seemingly unending amount of time to get an answer. You might get none. Still, that is no reason to stop believing.

If you believe God exists then you have accept that He knows everything and therefore everything is His divine plan.  This means that Hitler was His divine plan, cancer is part of His plan, and people who are born disabled are all part of His plan.
