• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Real thing? Oh... you mean the storybook version. Right.
I believe the real thing was dismantled after the Flood to build Noah's homestead.

It was easier to dismantle the ark on top of a mountain and transport the timbers down several thousand metres to a new location than to harvest new timber from a nearby source at lower elevation?

Oh, just... reasons. NMIMW (Noah Moves In Mysterious Ways).
A man dismantles a superstructure and builds his homestead with it, and you call that "moving in mysterious ways"?

Why?

(And I'd like an honest answer that correctly addresses my question.)

I'll refer you to post #26 which you have ignored.
I wasn't there then.

It took them 120 years to build the Ark.

You want them to what? take another 120 to build their homestead?

And how did this get through the pitch that the Ark was coated within and without with?

Genesis 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

You claim Noah "had reasons" to dismantle the ark and carry timber down thousands of meters of mountain, then climb back up for the next piece - yet you now want to claim you don't know that he had reasons?

No, I didn't.

And until I see a light bulb come on, further discussions with you on this subject is over (unless I forget I put you on READ ONLY).

Of course, in your limited thinking (myopic actually), I take it you don't think the inside of the Ark was bigger than the outside?
