Before the Flood, two seeds

"For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality." Acts 15:28-29

In light of Acts 15, I was curious to see how the ancient people approached the sanctity of worship, of life, and of marriage. Before the Flood, I found two people who seemed to clearly picture the wicked and the righteous - or might I say, the ungodly and the godly?

Lamech (Genesis 4)Noah (Genesis 5-9)
