It is obvious that there has been many local floods since the world wide flood of Noah happened...which is one of the means in which we know the bible was speaking of a world wide flood rather than a local flood for Noah |

Genesis 9:
Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: 9 "And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants F12 after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. 11 Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."
12 And God said: "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." 17 And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | Interesting how God made a covenant with man that He would never again destroy the earth by flooding, yet many believe He did not destroy it all the first time.
Obvously, we still have regional flooding, so if this was a regional flood, the covenant makes no sense.

you spoke the words right out of my mouth my dear.... 
The rainbow was made to have us reminded of the lords promise to us, but if you mix water and sunlight do you get a rainbow??

Reps: 11 (power: 0) | | | Word Wide or regional? Besides the fact that there have been regional floods..which alone settles the issue...all one has to do is read the bible for other convincing points.
For example check out Genesis 7:20
GEN 7:20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet.
Don't you think a flood that covered the mountains to a height of more than 20 feet was a bit more than regional? |

This is true and on top of this I'd like to hear from those who believe in a regional flood tell me how reginonal this flood was that they believe in. How big was it? The original Hebrew says that it was world wide...what say you?

God didn't send His Son to pay for the forgiveness of your sin, and then decide He is going to require you to make installment payments. He only requires you to believe that the FULL PAYMENT was done, over 2000 yr. ago..........then you'll stop trying to make the installments on something you could never pay for anyway. The Good News is that you are debt free!

Reps: 11 (power: 0) | | | Vance presented the following:
Well, since I believe that the flood was local, God was saying that He would never again send a flood to destroy any people (and all within a "land") as a purposeful judgment.
2PE 3:5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
2PE 3:6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
2PE 3:7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Vance, applying your local flood scenario...will the judgement of fire also be local?
If the flood was...then why not the fire? | | |
