Their Desendants moved farther and farther away from God and he had to narrow the world to Noah and his family....... I guess i was referring to the Written Law Given to Moses and Israel. The Decalogue or Ten Commandments in which the 4th is REMEBER the Seventh Day. Which, IMO a lot of Christians forget to do.........
Youre right about that.
People have a tendancy to do "what feels right to them" rather then follow the principles of the Bible which they profess to believe. They also feel free to make adjustments, additions, and subtractions to Biblical instruction and principle by substituting man-made nonsense. It makes perfect sense that Christ would say...
"Not everyone who says to me,'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will tell me in that day,'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works? Then I will tell them,'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity"
