zehntel!greg says, in an article on the Flood, that "[God's making Noah
build an ark] was a test of faith and an act of reverence. (See Heb. 11:7.)"

I don't see the point in all these "tests of faith" in the O.T. : surely
an omniscient god would *know* whether a given person had faith? All
that testing seems rather redundant to me!
