What are the main distinctive races of Earth and how many are there ..In regards to the recent video posted on Noah's Ark:
I cannot watch videos like that for too long because it angers me in the fact that they are misrepresenting God's Word at times. They are mocking God and His Word by giving false evidence. Granted, I believe God commands me to hate the sin and not the sinner of course.

Why do you ask?
...
Noah got drunk, his son came in and had sex with his wife, who conceived and bore a child by their son, and the son went and told his brothers about it. So yes, drama. Lots and lots of drama.
I am not against reading the Bible literally. But if you were to read Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 with wooden literalism, you would come away with the false belief that there was a man and woman who lived before Adam and Eve.
Yet,
What is your major motivation for believing as you do on the story of Noah and Ham?
Are there any phrases or words you regard as metaphors or figures of speech in the Bible? What determines your view of knowing that they metaphorical? Just a gut feeling? Or do you look at the context and compare Scripture with Scripture?
How do you interpret Revelation?
Again, please carefully re-read Leviticus 20:11 and Leviticus 18:7.
But in your version of the story, everything is nonsensical.
So it is a coincidence that both:
#1. Canaan.
#2. The phrase or idiom, "the nakedness of his father."
Are mentioned in both Leviticus 18 and Genesis 9?
Coincidence? No. Neither do I find it a coincidence that Canaan and nakedness is found in many other scriptures.
I did. Ham saw his father's nakedness - that's what is written in your English Bible. What is written in the Hebrew is "Ham had sex with his father's wife". The expression "saw his father's nakedness" - translated word for word - is a Hebrew idiom. It means "had sex with his faither's wife".Repeating yourself is simply repeating yourself.
I can plainly find 3 things in scripture you have said;
But the other 3 things highlighted in red I do not find in scripture;
Can you provide those three things you have said, in scripture?

Lev.20
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying...
[2] Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel,
Lev 20:11
[11] And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Lev.18
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Lev 18:7
[7] The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Again, please carefully re-read Leviticus.
Take notice; Moses receiving the LAW from the LORD;
THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO APPLY BEFORE THE LAW WAS GIVEN!
You said:My VERSION of the story IS what Scripture says.
You said:Scripture does not have to MAKE SENSE to a carnal mind!
You said:God is SPIRIT.
What He desires you to do IS TRUST His Word, whether or not you understand it.
You said:When you can do that; then you are prepared to receive Gods Understanding.
But continuing to CHALLENGE what is written, is simply revealing you don't trust it;
precisely for the reason you claim.....it doesn't make sense; it's not logical.
God Bless,

Moses wrote all five books of the Torah!
It was the same author who would have used similar idioms or figures of speech to express what certain things mean. So Genesis was not written by a different author at an earlier time to suggest your line of thinking here.
What about Messianic prophecies?
How does that work in your interpretation of wooden literalism of Scripture?
Does not a story always mean what it says every time?
1 John 2:20
"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things."
"The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." (Psalms 119:130).
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15).
I do accept the Word as it is written. The problem is that you think your interpretation that ignores the Bible's idioms is the right way to go (When it is not). The Bible is full of Metonymy or figures of speech. Not knowing how to recognize this is a real problem in not properly understanding God's Word.
As for logic:
You have not properly given me anything to believe that is rational in any way.
Your version of the story does not make sense no matter how many times you say the carnal mind cannot understand. That does not mean anything. You are just saying those words and not explaining anything.
Explain the story in a rational way and I will consider what you have to say.
So far, what you have said does not make any sense.
