Is that the truth? Genesis 6

 Is that the truth?

There are some subjects I don't know much about. For instance; if you were to tell me that there are 20 people on a water polo team I would be inclined to believe you, because I know nothing about water polo. I live in a post Google era. I am spoiled by the ability to gain information at the touch of my phone. I spend a lot of time searching the internet and reading books, because, there are a lot of things I don't know.
When it comes to the deceit and lies of Satan, I need God, not Google. Satan spins lies faster and better than the internet can spit it out. With AI and digital images, people can create images that look completely real. Satan's lies top those. He has had a lot of practice telling lies. He's has been at it since time began. He wants you tied up in knots and anxiety, and running scared. He wants you to NOT remember that there is a way to KNOW the truth. 
Genesis 6 is the result of His deception. He had so many people believing the lie that they should follow their passions and desires, completely ignoring their creator, that the Bible declares " God was sorry He had even made man."  

    As God searches the earth He is able to find ONE man who's heart is turned toward Him. One man who held onto the truth. Satan has entangled the hearts and lives of all but one man. Only Noah could be trusted to obey and humble himself before God.

We should be asking God daily to reveal and protect us from Satan's lies. We are gullible and vulnerable on our own. The minute we think we "I've got this", we are right where Satan wants us. Only knowing the truth sets us free.  Under God's protective wing we are immovable, strong and safe. That is the TRUTH.

Study Genesis 6:

• Part of the reason for the population explosion was the long lifespans of man. As God surveys the wickedness He decreases the lifespans. After Noah mans lives reduces from several hundreds to 120, giving people less time to sin.
• The sons of God or angels that had children were more than likely demons indwelling men and having children with women.

2 Peter 2:4-5 New Living Translation (NLT)

•  For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment. ⁵ And God did not spare the ancient world—except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood 

• We know from James that sin starts in the thoughts, these verses tell us that men's thoughts were continually sinful James 1:13-15
• .Noah did not find grace because of all the good deeds he did, Noah found grace because He believed in God and was humble before Him. His faith was in God, not in himself.
• The size of the boat described could hold 125,000. sheep sized animals. The average animal is smaller than a sheep. This would leave some room, assuming that larger lizards could be babies. I like to think God had them hibernate for much of this time, but that's just a theory.
