Coefficient: Exactly. The take it or leave it doctrine. If you believe in it so much, don't you think it is your fundamental duty to make sure I "see" the light. Won't you be penalized for letting a fellow human go astray? No one is argueing with you. I am simply asking fundamental questions that need answers. I am a fully grown adult and I think if anyone just tells me something and expects me to "take it or leave it", then my parents have wasted money raising me. 3 Likes |

Rexyl: All arguments from the Bible, taken far away from the Bible will still come back to the Bible and land upon it. That is why God is God. People don't need any other proofs except the ones already spoken. what's the difference between you and boko haram who go and murder people without question because their arabian god told them to; same way you refuse to question the so-called words of your jewish god...funny thing is all these fairy tales were written by stone age goat herding foreigners about how they believed the world works, but you and boko haram members, both africans, will follow the words of foreigners like mumu come dey lie say na god talk am...okpemu 1 Like |

phuck_NL: You are right to your opinion. if you and your children and children's children choose not to know God, serve Him and believe in His words, that will neither move Him nor change His position. Bible has already spoken well about increasing knowledge and a time of widespread disregard of truth contained in it. Few that are being saved by grace will continue to believe in God and His words. What makes His word stay is the supernatural which brings spiritual rebirth and transformation of minds, and works of miracles made possible by anchoring one's faith in Him, esp by people who are diligently seeking Him.Do you believe in Spiritualism and divination at all? If your answer is yes you and your likes must not doubt existence of God, and the fact that His word is still being given to people inspired by Him. |

With the high rate of floods and tsunami happening around the world today, some f.ools still Question the Biblical story of Noah and the Ark. Its obviously true that even if Jesus came back to earth those who would still not believe will mot believe. |

God is God and He's the creator of the earth and every single atom and cell in it, He runs the shows, he presses the buttons and I believe he's more than smart to handle everything before, during and after the great flood. God has the control for every creature. I'm pretty positive he must have handled every area and issue back then, from the taming of every organism to food and water supplies to oxygen availability, temperature regulation e.t.c Come on! We talking about THE CREATOR HIMESELF! |

Evil Brain: How did Noah fit 2 million insects (1 million species x 2) into the ark? And how did be manage to fit 12,000 amphibians, 20,000 birds, 11,000 mammals, 16,000 reptiles and god knows how many crustaceans, arachnids and mollusks into a boat that must have already been overflowing with insects? Where did he find space to keep a years worth of food for all those animals? How did he keep the meat for the Lions, tigers and other carnivores fresh for a whole year? Why did he take mosquitoes, tapeworms, guinea worms and the HIV virus aboard the ark? Did he infect himself with all those parasites, or did he force his wife and children to carry them? How come all the animals didn't freeze to death at 9,000 metres altitude (the height of Mount Everest which must have been underwater) Where did they find oxygen to breathe at that height? What did all the animals eat after getting off the ark? All the plants must have died after a year underwater, and all the animals would have drowned so no food for herbivores or carnivores. How come all the fish in the ocean survived? Saltwater fish can't survive in freshwater and the ocean would have been massively diluted with all that rain. Or did the ark also have a salty fish tank with space for 60,000 fish (30,000 species x 2)? And how did he feed all those fish?I don't have answer to your questions BUT let me ask u how did Jesus feed 5000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fish? 1 Like |

Your observation seems logical not just accurate, God destroyed the Earth with water not fire, so fishes and other aquatic life forms can remain in their natural habitat. You have a point about the insect though.... but who am I or you to question the works of God.....unfathomable.... |

Mudley313: The word of God aims to let people know that there is a Creator behind the creation in a similar way your parents produced you by birth and you now exist as a living creature. Nobody forces you to believe this simple fact. If you like appreciate it or ignore it. christians know God exists in Spirit and they are trained to reference Him as such. Christ gospel tells us God doesn't mean evil for those diligently seeking and serving Him in truth and spirit. You mention book haram here and you seem to code it as evils of God. Once again Christ's message gives the distinction BTW goodness (love and kindness) of God and evils of Satan (which involve his cruelty and violence). Through Christ message we know that acts of terrorism is handiwork of Satan. Pls note there is no God in the act at all. |

Rexyl: This is why we need to ask questions and not just "forcefully accept what is given to us" If you bothered to read my comments at all, you would have noticed where I stated SEVERAL times that I believe in GOD but do not believe in any INSTITUTION or BOOK written by MAN because they are riddled with LIES. You have ignored my main question and just stuck to your "YOU just have to believe it or go away" Simple question. MAN wrote the BIBLE. Prove to me that the original writers did not lie. I am not here to debate GOD. To each his own. You can not debate supernatural things because it is based on "FAITH and BELIEF" What you can debate, on the other hand, is THE BIBLE STORIES written by MAN. My question stands. How can you tell me with 100% accuracy that LIES have not been told since the religious books did not MIRACOUSLY appear but were WRITTEN over several YEARS by MAN. This is the man issue here. I maintain LIES have been told and the NOAH's ARK story is one of them 1 Like |

oiseworld: With the high rate of floods and tsunami happening around the world today, some f.ools still Question the Biblical story of Noah and the Ark. Try and read from the first page before jumping into conclusions. If I analyze your statement, the deduction about who is or who isn't a f00l might backfire on you. I do not think anyone disputes that NOAH's ARK was built. Heck, the title of the thread is "how big was it" The question is how possible would it have been to build an ark so big, it would house all the animals for one year amongst other things. 1 Like |

phuck_NL: Written by people inspired by God. At times it contains different messages aimed at different situations, therefore looking at it to treat all situations alike will contrast minds that do not understand properly. We all know that only God is perfect, but we have been provided with the guides to the truth He wants us to know about Him. It is 'know the truth of the word' which seeks to set believers free unto righteousness. |
Re: "How Large Was Noah's Ark?" by phuckNL: 10:36pm On Jan 07, 2014 |
Rexyl: I am happy that you at least chose to answer me. A lot of people will simply just say "atheist, go away" Anyway, I admire your opinion even though I oppose it. Is it wrong for me to question "the people" you say were inspired by God if a lot of the things they wrote down seem unbelievable? The reason I question it is because history has shown us that our ancestors are big time liars and they used to use fear to control people. We have this in African history. The only difference is that our African ancestors did not document ours in a book form. We have Sango who use to throw lightning to name a few. A lot of people claim this is false. Would they have believed our African folklore if it had been coined in a book and sold to us by the same people who brought the likes of Noah's Ark?

simon.jo: When was it proven? By whom? Show me a link or a book, maybe I missed something. All I've seen is a continuum of outrageous claims that'd only be accepted by like-religious minds. So-called Christian Scientists can make mind-boggling exertions because they're trying to proof based on the bible not willing to entertain any questioning. This evidently creates a lot of holes. Now if you choose to chew on that cherry-picked puke, fine by me. Just don't make baseless stats on a public forum. Lord 1 Like |

Here is what I think,there are certain things we may not really and fully understand and because we don't, we only Just make rubbish of certain truth that stares us in the face. With regards to Noah's ark story and evidences to prove or disprove it's authenticity thereby indirectly questioning the efficacy of the bible.I submit to u that there are many more unimaginable un-explainable stories littered across the bible eg people rising from dead, different kinds of sicknesses being healed, people walking on water,people walking on dry ground through a sea,people thrown into fire but not burned,300 soldiers winning a war against 36,000 soldiers, I could go on and on. It just comes down to this its either u believe the bible(which is Gods word )or you don't for without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]Heb 11:6. We either live by faith and leave all these unnecessary arguments or we research to find out the truth or we don't believe at all. but for the sake of evidence please watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7iycpe16V0 OR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPRo7Q-7yQQ |
