The father drank the wine to and was intoxicated and was lying naked before the younger son went into the tent and saw him. If the son was at fault for him to be cursed, what should have been done to Noah?
Ham saw his father, laughed, and told his other brothers. The two took a blanket and covered their fathers modesty without seeing anything.
God chose to punish the son who looked, laughed and gossiped. He hates gossip and Backbiting.
Why are you taking issue with God in the first place? Who made you judge?
It is with righteous judgment we are allowed. But Gods judgments are final, He cannot even look on sin. That's why we all need a Savior.
Be careful when you begin criticizing God the same way people on Twitter discuss, trash others characters and publish it to the world. Doesn't that sorta sound like what Ham did to his Dad?
The end of the Book of Revelation....backbiters will not go to heaven.
Criticism and ridicule are not fruits of The Holy Spirit.
If we look at this account with our 'present-day eyes', then yes, Noah sinned by getting drunk & should have been punished for being so, along with son Ham.
But was it a punishable 'sin' in those days & in that situation Noah was in? Today, we say that drunkenness is sin because of alcohol's effect on the mind likely resulting in sinful action. So we are warned to stay away from alcohol, or else maybe to take some for "our stomach's sake" ( 1 Timothy 5:3), and that too, just a little wine.
Enter Noah: he was a farmer growing a fruitful vineyard & after juicing his grapes, fermenting them for an extra kick, he wanted to sample some of his hard work. He drank a little more than he should have, started to feel a tad warm, shed off some clothing to cool off in his tent & son Ham happens to walk by & lingers at his door. We're not told whether Noah's inebriation led him to do anything wrong or even have sinful thoughts - just that he drank his wine to the point of being drunk & was uncovered. Without trying to make excuses for Noah, I don't see anything amiss from what we are given to read - he drank too much & fell asleep. But you might be seeing something more in this account.
