God Blessed Noah

 ~ Gen 9

1. What does it mean to: be fruitful, multiply, increase greatly on the earth, multiply in it (9:1&7)?
2. Why do animals now fear man (9:2)?  Is it because we might eat them? Is not eating meat more Godly (before the flood) than eating meat (after the flood)?  What about today (Rom.14:2)?
3. Do our current laws align with 9:6?  Why is lifeblood important to God?  How does 9:6 establish government?  What are your thoughts on capital punishment?
4. What is the meaning of the rainbow in 9:15?  How are you reassured that God remembers you through your traumatic times?
5. Is the use of alcohol positive or negative in chap. 9?  Has it been a positive or negative in your life?
6. Why was Canaan cursed for his father’s actions (9:25)?  Why were Shem & Japheth blessed?
