Noah's Ark

[AV1611VET]

Um, I don't think a "mist from the ground" would have kept the Euphrates supplied, somehow.

I have a feeling you don't think a mist would water the whole earth either, do you?

If the land contained that much water, how did it manage to support the weight of Adam or Noah?

You can deny it all you want, but what you can't do is swear I made it up and be right.

Sure you did. But I really don't care.
Some people need a crutch, they need to be told how to live. I get it. What's odd though, is why you would expect others to take the blue pill too.

There was no wind during the flood, thus no waves.

Please provide evidence for this claim that there were no winds during the Flood. (Either that or simply say "This is totally 100% Miracle and all physical laws were suspended during the Flood.")

God finally brought the wind to help the waters recede from the ark's final parking place.

In the story I know there is the part about the winds receding the flood, but I don't recall it saying that the Flood was so peaceful and calm (otherwise I'm even more uncertain why more living things couldn't escape, except maybe it was a Miracle Flood that Simply Killed Things By Fiat).

 

[Obliquinaut]

Chapters 1 - 10 were written in Jacobean English.

I have now heard this claim twice. I really like it! It's one of my favorite claims from you, AV! Bravo!

Um ... glad to be of service?

Where did you get that Genesis 1-10 was in Jacobean English and that this was the common language at the time?

Is the KJV written in Jacobean English? Then the BIble was written in Jacobean English. EVEN THOUGH the "Secretaries" who pulled together the KJV on orders of King James used Greek and Hebrew source material available at the time. It is a mystery why they would have to go to other languages only to get back to the original Jacobean English, but God works in mysterious ways.

Why would a global flood be so placid? Just curious. We currently have a planet that is about 75% covered in ocean and it is hardly universally placid and calm. Was it a miracle ocean?

Picture the "doldrums' but more widespread. Remember that the rain equalized pressure and temperature globally, so there would be little if any wind (ocean waves are largely wind driven). The 40 days of rain prepared the earth for several things in advance of the main flood waters. The whole event was carefully thought out by God beforehand.

Why Jacobean English?

Even the ancient Hebrews knew it sounded cool.

The KJB had its Predecessors (the other six).

I think it's Gail Riplinger who points out they only used the Greek & Hebrew for reference.

By way of example, I believe the AV1560 Geneva Bible was God's choice for the Pilgrims.

And I'm just positive you know all about the history of Geology. I mean apart from the fact that so far you've shown almost no knowledge of actual geology....

The flood had little to do with geology.

 

[Obliquinaut]

The whole event was carefully thought out by God beforehand.

Obviously! But you'd expect that, right? (Right up until the part where He arranged for it to leave NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER thus leading some of us into Error. But I don't expect God to plan for EVERYTHING...He's only GOD!)

 

[Obliquinaut]

The flood had little to do with geology.

Which is really convenient for you!

I'm still wondering why you raised issues related to laminar flow and hydrology, though. Hmmmm. Now you say geology had no relation here. LOL.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

Sorry, but momentum, gravity, etc. would still exist. Like it or not we know that the flood would have left a mark.

The flood would have left widely scattered and mostly fragile indications. It would resemble thousands of local floods as it receded, not a single event, just what we see in the geologic record.

You changed "little" to "no". Whyzat?

 

[EpiscipalMe]

Because Jacobean English is the language of the King James Bible, which is God's seventh and final Version prior to His return.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

And as I showed, there are books in Heaven.

And we know the words of God are eternal.

That means they had no beginning and will have no end.

That means there's a copy of the Bible ... written in Heaven, before It was written on Earth.

My OPINION is that It is in Jacobean English -- not Hebrew, Greek, or Swahili.

What scriptural evidence is there that the KJV is the "seventh and final version" of the Bible?

What are the first 6 versions?

Seems rather anglocentric, especially since the OT is Jewish holy text, and they write in Hebrew and the NT was written by Jews in Greek.

What are your geological credentials?

 

[OldWiseGuy]

Perhaps the Ark was built in Minnesota. It is the Gopher State after all.

Here in Wisconsin we call them..........rodents. Go Badgers!

 

[AV1611VET]

What are the first 6 versions?

1. AV330 Gothic Version
2. AV700 Anglo-Saxon Version
3. AV1389 Wycliffe
4. AV1525 Tyndale
5. AV1560 Geneva Bible
6. AV1568 Bishop's Bible
7. AV1611 King James Bible

I read geology articles.
