Jesus affirmed Noah, the flood, the ark, the destruction of all mankind (except those aboard the ark). Just read the words in red in your red letter Bibles starting at Matthew 24:36ff:

But concerning that day and hour no one knows—not even the angels of heaven nor the Son—except the Father alone. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark. 39 And they did not know anything* until the deluge came and swept them* all away.

The Lexham English Bible (Mt 24:36–39). Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press.

Do you believe the New Testament Book of Matthew? Sure, you do.

terrible argument the amount of water can be great than any flood that ever occured is why it covered mountains etc. so we can hold this belief and still say God never lied

I don't even understand your reply. Maybe try a grammar checker before posting.

are you illiterate i didnt have a singular grammar mistake in my sentence. Ill make my sentence obtuse for you, I hold that it was a flood that cover mountains etc. is why its greatest flood that ever happened ever when we say regional we are saying in regards to Pangea each scientifical proven thing. Im saying the flood happened in a region which is in the entirety of the Middle East and Africa is why all life was dead in the flood accept Noah, my beliefs is quite accurate to stuff proven by archaeology like the Mesopotamia flood its quite odd that there is such a flood and no where else in the world similar so i believe this beliefs because its provable and scriptural

of course i do lol i literally hold that all lifeforms died in the flood accept Noah, I believe a regional flood not local why dont you understand what regional means

Could you expand more on this post?

There are a multitude of layers/meanings, both spiritual and natural in all the stories in the bible. Each layer is revealed to us as we are ready to receive them. To say that this is just something that happened long ago and I should just remember that it happened and fight over the exactly way it happened, would be a shame...... For this would ensure that all meanings will be lost.

I believe a regional flood

Did Jesus Christ, the appointed Judge, say "regional"?

Plus, why would Noah need an ark for a regional flood?

 

[Job 33:6]

The challenge really comes down to the fact that physical evidence doesn't exist for this global flood. And on the contrary, evidence suggests that no such thing occurred.

For example: the OP mentioned that there were dinosaur nests with eggs in them in the middle of the geologic column. And this is a concept that we can observe. In which case we are left with this question of how a dinosaur would construct a nest and lay eggs in the middle of this catastrophic flood (keep in mind that the nest wouldn't have been built before the flood because the nest is found vertically in the middle of the geologic column). Therefore we might interpret that such a flood (one responsible for depositing layers of the earth in a single year or so) therefore could not have happened.

1st thing nobody calls it regional flood we say world flood because thats just what it was a world like flood like never before seen the hebrew word for flood shows that it was a flood like any other flood ever
and the reason Noah needed a ark because the flood was the greatest flood too ever come about

you got it on the money and do you know the argument from pangea and tectonic plates it pushes Regional flood proof even more

I've been around for awhile but you're welcome to share anything that you might feel passionate about.

I would think the latter parts of the Ice Age is a better source of the Flood legend.

i dont understand

Just referring to major flood events that occurred as the ice sheets retreated and glacier-bound lakes were released. The Washington scablands are considered to be a result of such a dam burst.

Many of christians have found the road to atheism, by trying to geehaw The Bible with science.
