let's even agree for once that the story was true. Of what use was the flood if it wouldn't eradicate sin and evil people?if the intention of God was not to eradicate sin and evil, then of what use was it?

MJBOLT:

another plot hole in the bible,the person that copied the noah story from the epic of gilgamesh did not do a good job.

malvisguy212:
well, the epic of Gilgamesh help prove the Genesis account is true.

MJBOLT:

it did not prove anything but exposed the fact that the bible is filled with stolen stories

malvisguy212:
eipc of Gilgamesh is present day Iraq ( Babylon ) the event happen when the earth was young , there was no tribe that time , no nation. God did not format their memory , God only temper with there language.and the great dispersion did not occurs UNTIL God alter there language. after the dispersion occurs , and every tribe give account of what happen in EARLY GENESIS. this prove the Genesis account is true.

MJBOLT:

it doesnt prove sh*t,there are different great flood stories in history from china to africa etc the story of genesis is a stupid one written by the romans 2000 years ago,even the noah ark story is stupid.


Come and tell us how noah fed thousands of animals,how he identified the male and female of thousands of animals,how he was able to cut down huge timbers and put them together,i'll wait

yes,god brought the polar bears,anacondas,kangaroos,penguins,sloth,koala,african wild dogs,ostrich etc from different continents across the ocean to noah yet there is no geological proof of this,feeding thousands of animals is problematic because animals have different diets and most animals have to eat at least 3 times their body weight,so where did noah keep their food and how did he keep it fresh.let me guess sodom and gomorrah was verified by god too

OpenYourEyes1:


GOD brought the male and female animals to Noah. It's clearly written in the bible. Feeding thousands of animals for many months in a giant ship is not a problem at all. Afterall modern cruise ships do thesame for thousands of customers for a long time.

I bet your kinds would've told us the story of soddom and Gomorrah was a myth if it hadn't been verified.

This is what I see when reading your posts. They are hardly very clear.

you saw the first one well enough to quote it,abeg shift

Yes,God works in mysterious ways....his ways are not our ways....he can do a d undo....a zillion years is like a second in his eyes...... he is gonna burn all sinners in the giant incinerator.....(We have heard it all before)

The only way any story in the bible can make a iota of sense is for the reader to suspend all reason and logic and put on the toga of rabid emotions and blind faith!

jcross19:
the reason it makes sense to you is because you are afraid to face the reality! I am christian and so much believe in God and Jesus but that story of creation and Noah is not showing the perfection of God!.the writer tried their best make the story looked real but is still show flaw of man made up stories!.

LordReed:


Let's even agree the story is true. It would show that the god Yahweh, is probably not as powerful as he makes himself out to be or that he is weakening as the years go by. Look at it, the being who made humans from dust can't wipe the slate clean and start again? Instead he relies on a man to spend 120years building a boat, this god that made heaven and earth in 6 days? Then look how his power is manifested later on, he is reduced to changing water into wine or walking on water, magicians of today do even more fantastic feats than that and even today Yahweh's power is so diminished you to squint and cork your head to one side before you can see the so called miracles.

Ihedinobi3:

Hi there.

It's a good question, whatever the reason may be for your asking it, and I have answered it in one form or another over the past several months on this board. Most recently, I answered it yesterday on another thread.

The Flood was brought by the Lord God to destroy the Nephilim. The target was not human beings. The Nephilim had spread until there were very few pure humans left. Of those few left, only Noah was interested in continuing to follow the Lord. So, the Lord God spared him and his family, to preserve the pure human race through them.

That raises the question, "what are the Nephilim?"

There are many theories out in the ether in answer to the question, but the biblical answer is that they are half-human half-angel products of liaisons between rebel angels and human women. An easy way to verify this is to look at the Antichrist. The Lord God said in the Garden of Eden that Satan would have a seed who would war with the Woman's Seed, in Genesis 3:15. When you get to Revelation 19, you find the Antichrist going to war with the Lord Jesus. Also, in Jude and 2 Peter 2, we are told that the angels who were involved in a debacle that was contemporary with Noah were chained and held in dungeons of darkness in the Abyss for their crime, then in Revelation 20, we see the same thing done to Satan, although there is the addition of a seal on the Abyss in his case. These things demonstrate that, just like the Antichrist, the Nephilim are angelic hybrids that were hard-hearted rebels against God.

Their absolute lack of interest in God's Truth is why Genesis 6 talks about their unabated evil. Man is sinful from birth, and our bodies are full of sin, but we possess a conscience that always accuses or encourages us depending on our behavior (Romans 2:14-15). If the Nephilim possessed a conscience, it is not evident in their recorded behavior. They were bent on unrighteousness and wickedness in everything they did.

But that may raise the question, "why then would people want them as children?"

Apart from the obvious answer that human wickedness does celebrate rebellion against God, because we think it is cool (Romans 1:32), there is also the fact that the Nephilim, being part-angel, possessed extraordinary ability. They were capable of things that ordinary humans were simply incapable of (Genesis 6:4). Who doesn't want to be called the mother or father or brother or sister or grandfather of some great genius or achiever? That was the main seduction. So, many people wanted their own Nephilim, and the genetic strain spread.

If that had continued unabated, all pure humanity would have been wiped out. If that happened, no Savior would ever have been born.

So, as God always does, He gave people ample time to repent and quit their bad behavior. They did not. Until there was just one man left who refused to join the madness. Noah, rather surprisingly had his first children at age 500 (20 years after he began building his Ark). That suggests that he took his time to find a fellow pure human to marry. By this time he had been prophesying already about God's Coming Anger against the wanton behavior of his fellow humans. Obviously they ignored him, and continued to cavort with rebel angels and have Nephilim.

God gave them 120 years of warning through Noah, while the prophet built his Ark.

At the end of the time that God gave them, God locked Noah, his family, and some vulnerable species into the Ark, and flooded the entire world with water from both the subterranean and the heavenly realms.

Now, as I said elsewhere, if God was looking to kill mere humans, it really doesn't take much. Humans are ridiculously easy to kill. But not Nephilim. Put a human in a rapids heading for Rocky Falls, and that is usually enough. But the Antichrist takes a fatal blow of some unspecified kind, and he lives, to the astonishment of a vastly sophisticated 21st century world (Revelation 13:3). The same is true of all Nephilim, so the Flood builds until there is enough water pressure to kill even them. And it covers the highest mountain to several feet deep to cut off every physical possibility of escape.

It wasn't ordinary human wickedness that God was targeting. It was Nephilim.

But God will come after human wickedness later in the Tribulation. So, humans are not being let off so easy either. We have a choice to believe now that we are alive. If we refuse, there is still quite literally hell to pay.

Dantedasz:

I hope you don't have comprehension problems? Please go back and read......SLOWLY.

McCoy662:
I think this is the latest version to validate and justify the story. but the truth is, apart from Noah's, were all pure humans spared and how did the nephilim came to be, cos they were not included in the story of creation, and humans were all supposed to begot pure humans.
Also, why did the almighty God have to go through such rigorous process just to kill, couldn't he have spoke a word or stop them from breeding.
