1. I am not using an "altered version"--I said what I was quoting from--that is a Jewish translation--far more accurate, it is the language it was written in. This is called a mechanical translation.
It doesn't matter since you are following the views of those who called for the Crucifixion of their own God. Luk 23:21
2. The snare is not mentioned because I did not quote Isa 24:18--Here it is.
Jewish (Isa 24:18) And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the
trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake;
The trap is shown here. What you didn't explain was What is the Trap?
3. The whole chapter is not about the flood--as I pointed out--the word dissolved is actually crumbled, broken--and it talks about fires and there is no mention of fires during the flood---don't usually go together.
Are you Jewish? Then
WHY are you studying their version?
4. The flood has never destroyed the theory of evolution as they do not believe in the world flood to begin with.
I know. What the Flood shows is that Adam, the first Human, did
NOT evolve from the common ancestor of Apes, on this Earth, but was made long
BEFORE any other living creature on the
3rd Day
Gen 2:4-7 which is the
SAME Day as the Big Bang of our Cosmos. Evolutionists have been pushing their False ToE upon our children for more than 50 years now. It's time for Christians to
REFUTE their False ToE with God's Truth.
5. Your concept of the earth dissolving into nothingness makes no sense---Noah was on water and had to wait for dry land to appear after the water receded.
The Ark was on the surface of Lake Van, Turkey
150 days after the flood began.
Gen 8:4 It was also above the highest mountains on Adam's Earth on the
SAME 150 days after the flood began
Gen 7:20-24
God told Noah that He was going to destroy the violent people of Adam's Earth
WITH THE EARTH. Gen 6:13
God told Noah after the Flood that He would never again
DESTROY THE EARTH in a Flood.
Gen 9:11
God tells us that He
SPARED NOT the old world:
2Pe 2:5
God speaks of Adam's Earth as the world (kosmos) that
THEN WAS.
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world (Kosmos) that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: (Greek-destroyed totally)
God speaks of the heavens and Earth
WHICH ARE NOW which will be burned.
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
6. The earth was still there--it had not disappeared into nothingness leaving Noah in the ark with the animals floating around in space.
Amen. The Ark surfaced in Lake Van, Turkey the biggest Lake in Turkey and the only one in the mountains of Ararat. It was a perfect place for a 450 ft boat. Amen?
7:>>Gen 8:1) And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
Again, your altered version changes the word asswaged into assuaged. Such tinkering is obvious. Here is the KJV:
Gen 8:1 ¶
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
Asswaged is the Hebrew word Shakak (H7918) and it can also mean to set a Trap. Here it is used in this manner:
Jer 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as He that setteth H7918 snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
This is important since the narrative is between the time when the Ark was above the highest mountains on Adam's Earth on the 150th Day after the flood began Gen 7:24 AND when the Ark was upon the mountains of Ararat on the SAME 150th Day after the flood began. Gen 8:4 God set a Trap for today's Evols with the flood.
8. (Gen 8:3) And the waters returned from off the earth continually; and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
(Gen 8:4) And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
The Flood began on Feb 17th of Noah's 600th year.
Gen 7:11
The Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat n July 17th or 150 days after the flood began.
Gen 8:4
With your understanding explain that.
9. (Gen 8:5) And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
This was when the small window in the top of the Ark was opened. Until October 1st they could NOT see through the roof of the Ark. If they had opened the window on 7/17, they could have seen the tops of the mountains then.
(Gen 8:9) But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
Why did you leave the verses out which showed that
BEFORE the verse you posted, Noah released a Raven which did
NOT return to the Ark. Then he released the Dove who returned and Noah thought the waters were on the face of the whole earth, so he took her back into the ark. Then Noah waited 7 days and released the Dove again and this time she returned with an Olive leaf in her mouth.
Explain
HOW an Olive tree can germinate in the mud of a flooded Earth, grow up into a tree and put forth leaves in
One week. Olive trees can take up to a year to germinate.
10. (Gen 8:13) And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dried.
On Jan 1, Noah
KNEW the ground was dry, but he was afraid to come out of the Ark.
11. The mountains, the earth, all still there as the waters dried up and the dry land appeared---it had not dissolved.
Then
WHY did Noah stay in the Ark for another 2 months? Notice the date. It's January 1st. Do you think the 450 foot Ark was on top of Mt Ararat or in Lake Van, Turkey.
IF Noah had been on 16,000 ft high Mt Ararat, he could Not have stayed there in the middle of winter. Please explain.
12. And evolution would make mincemeat of your theory as the earths record shows no such thing ever happened. No creation scientist would ever agree with your theory as there is no physical proof that the earth was dissolved and remade and the word of God does not agree with you---can we get back to day 2 yet--we got more days to go.
I've been online since the mid 90s and
NO Evol has
EVER refuted my view Scientifically nor Historically. The reason is simple. I am a converted Evol, which means that I once believed the biggest Lie in History, the False ToE. I know about evolution and I also know that the Religion of Evolutionism is
NOT Science. I've also studied Genesis for more than 30 years with the help of the Holy Spirit and I have
NEVER had any problem with any Bible believing born again Spiritual Christian. God Bless you
