Why did Yahweh send a flood to purify the earth instead of Jesus?

God the father couldn't protect him or change the hearts of the giants to show mercy on him? In the story of Exodus God repeatedly hardens the heart of pharaoh so why couldn't he soften the heart of the demi-gods?

He came to live as man and not a god to by example show us that we can live a life of no sin here on earth.

My interpretation was that he was the last sacrifice. No longer would the people of earth have to sacrifice the firstborn male offspring of their animals to redeem their sins. Why couldn't he have been a sacrifice in place of the flood?

He could have been but that was not gods plan.

Also why couldn't he show the humans and the demigods the way to live on earth? Why did they have to be destroyed rather than have their behavior corrected by Jesus' example?

Not sure, could have been something that happened in heaven. I cant imagine god was too happy with situation and he in his infinite wisdom made a decision that you or I dont understand yet.

Yes but along with that race was every other human being and animal god created except for the chosen few on the ark. That's like scorching the earth of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi because there are 200 fire ants in your apartment building. At the very least you must call it overkill, no?

I dont have the wisdom of knowing things like this. Some doctors think that the best way to cure cancer in a small part of the human body is to saturate the entire body in almost toxic levels of radiation. Are they right or wrong? Who knows.

And why not make the angels and demi gods impotent?

Not sure, jackasses and ligers are... Your guess can be inserted here.

Why not trap the angels in hell so they stop fornicating with the humans?

I dont believe in hell or heaven so I cant answer that question sir.

I thought angels in heaven were only praising god? Where did they find time to leaven heaven and have their way with some humans?

Not sure its just what is said in the OT.
