Creation days 2 and 3 – atmosphere and vegetation
Creation days 2 and 3. Until scientists studied the earth’s atmosphere, we never realised how important it is! Dry ground appears, vegetation grows..
[3] Toil and tedium, drudgery and hard work
Does toil and tedium sum up your life, it’s like a long, hard haul. Noah had to build the Ark for 100 years, that sounds like drudgery and hard work.
[4] Our hard work AND God’s miracles
Does our hard work AND God’s miracles go together? Honest hard work is part of God’s plan for our lives. But God made the animals come to Noah!
Noah’s relatives, the Flood and Table of Nations
Noah’s relatives in Genesis show their spread at a certain point in time. Opponents to this say it doesn’t mention native American Indians, Aborigines…
[6] Knowing God doesn’t always mean an easy life
Knowing God doesn’t always mean an easy life and yet God has said; ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’
God at war with mankind?
When you read the first few chapters of Genesis it looks like a battle zone – God at war with mankind: 1) Adam and Eve expelled from the Garden of Eden… 2) Later, God flooded the world due to the wickedness in it… 3) And later again, God rained fire down upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Is God really at war with mankind?…
Could Noah have built the Ark – he was an Ancient engineer
Could Noah have built the Ark which was about the size of a 14000 ton modern tanker? It is strange but true, that many building marvels were built thousands of years ago and modern engineers have tried to recreate certain ancient buildings or machines and have often failed…
Scientists who believe in God and the Genesis creation account
Scientists who believe in God and Genesis creation being factually true are many. But we are often told that science disproves Christianity.
[7] Turbulent, out of control lives
Noah had no sail or rudder, I wonder how he felt – powerless, not in control? Our lives are sometimes swept along by strong currents and storms and it seems to be totally out of our control! How strange to build a huge boat, without any form of propulsion, no sails, no oars, no engine, and even more strange, no way of steering it – no rudder!…
How big was Noah’s Ark with facts and figures
How big was Noah’s Ark? Like a 14000 ton Tanker, very sea-worthy, unlike the ark in the Babylonian flood story. We compare the Titanic, Mayflower, etc
[9] No resting place – stranger in this world
Is this world really not you? No resting place – stranger in this world? Then you may be like Noah’s dove and not a raven…
Noah’s flood timeline – realistic not a myth
In Noah’s flood timeline it took over 12 months for the waters to subside and for the ground to dry out. These are realistic figures, it’s not a myth. These are very realistic figures, whereas many myths…
More thoughts on Noah’s flood
I have just seen this post: ‘Defending the Flood’ by Matthew2262’s blog. It is well worth a read and provides answers to these objections…
[10] It’s so hard to wait for stuff!
It’s a now culture. It’s so hard to wait for stuff! Patience is ridiculed. ‘I get what I want’ impresses but is self-centred, no safety barriers.
[11] How to please God – a sweet smelling life
Have you noticed the difference in how God is described before the Flood (grieved) and then after the Flood (pleased at the sweet fragrance)?
[8] The Day of the Lord is to be a separating day
The end of the world is also called the Day of the Lord and it’s a separating day, one is taken the other left behind, what had they done wrong?
Noah’s ark Mt Ararat – where and why. Mt Judi Urartu region?
Why Mt Ararat, why not a mountain much closer to the heart of a Jew and a mountain much closer to Israel? It is generally recognised that Moses is the writer of Genesis. So why did Moses put Mt Ararat as the place where the Ark became grounded – unless it was really true?…
The horror of the Biblical flood and The Great Unconformity
The Flood’s massive destruction is often not understood. Everything was exterminated. It left a huge worldwide scar called the Great Unconformity.
