God in Noah's and the Prodical Son Parable
The god present in the story of Noah differs from the god present in the parable of the prodigal son in many peculiar and interesting ways.

To be more specific god shows regret first for man's wickedness and cold blooded heart. God also showed regret when god made his covenant with Noah that would not use flood to destroy the earth again. In the story of Noah, god is also very angry and revengeful.

The younger son's second proof of being foolish and sinful was the younger son went to feed the swine and stood to the pig's level by fating with them. The younger son shower that mankind is capable of change, humble and seeking repentance with one phase the God in the parable of the prodigal son shows that god is very generous.
