I doubt God ordered Noah to build his ark, if He had not already made up His mind.
That was not the point. The point you made was about God in post 101 was this....."God didn’t seem that patient in Noah’s time. Has God changed?"
It was about God being patient, not about god doing what He knew needed to be done.
I showed that God was more than patient. He was 120 plus patient, waiting for people to repent. They didn't.
