One fact that we can hold to as that ancient mythological stories were told to bring vital important relevance toward specifically
worshiped gods from various ancient cultures. Some of these ancient stories are historically observed written in the bible.
The underlining probable reason WHY these stories were told has to be honesty recognized and accepted, which also
goes along in accepting mankind's history of ignorance of the world (same) we live in today.
The Bible does not give all the specifics concerning the preflood era.
As it shouldn't being the writings were constrained upon one singular culture.
The thing that has to realized with these mythological stories is that they were carried over and retold and perhaps rewritten by scribes
over the centuries, but still retaining the same original intension as to bring relevance to worshiped gods.
Speaking or putting thoughts on tablets was no less a natural progression of God's purpose for mankind.
Interesting comment, I'm wondering what purpose did the god of the ancient Hebrews evoke in all the other writings
by other cultures who worshiped other gods than himself ?
Since there is much evidence to show that civilizations existed well before the chronological time frame established in the bible !
Thanks for the clarification, it was so many cubits covering over the highest mountain tops .
Another pertinent question that apears how did Noah and all the those animals last that long as far as food for his family and
all those animals ?
According to Genesis 8:5 the ark had been floating for a very long time.
The water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the
mountains became visible.
Here I will help you out, this is Mount Ararat, note the elevation at its highest peak is 16,854 ft.
In all archaeological evidence gather of the many the ancient cultures why is there not a break or stoppage to their culture/civilization within
the time frame of the biblical flood ? Between 2500 BCE and 2300 BCE relatively speaking.
Would you also like to explain TS the noted 25 ft. covering over the highest mountain tops ?
I'm eager to hear your explanation of this purported statement from the bible.
did anybody see 20/20 investigation discovery earlier this evening?
it was all about kelly jarka who is serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife.
took place in murietta, california.
The idiot couldn't pull it off with intelligent forethought because he was most likely suffering from
sleep deprivation and under a lot of emotional stress.
One thing that he didn't think about is making a blood trail out the one the doors leading out of the house.
there would have been obvious blood evidence leading out of the house left by the attacker.
An assailant would have wanted to remove themselves out of the crime scene as quickly as possible.
Highly unlikely that they would stop and take a shower and walk out clean as a whistle.
The attack was also not a deterrent to subdue someone during a burglary it was a deliberate attact to kill
( 11 blows to the head)
As I pointed out in my previous post in how many other ancient cultures made proclamations that their god creating floods as an expression of anger.
It is therefore not surprising that we find a similar story within the ancient Hebrews in their era of existence.
I think Truthseeker got too much Truth and he's run away now, too much logic and rational subjective reasoning I guess......Next

Another interesting point to realize is why did he take 3 life insurance policies when he was in so much debt, to almost have his house foreclosed on.
Your right though Stealth , he may have had this devious attack already perking in his mind, the elder visit the night prior to the murder may have
just pushed him into taking action upon those retaining thoughts. An argument pursued after the elder left and all hell got started,
the early morning hours were spent thinking how to make it all look like a burglary.
I also think its laughable and all assuming that his follow brothers and sisters inside his own family and at his congregation
think he's all innocent, a very typical stance taken by JWs trying subjectively support the outward image of Jehovah's organization.
The question remains how did Satan the Devil over come Kelle when he was so close and inside the protection of Jehovah's earthly organization ?

And, he did not say much of anything about the religion.
Actually he quoted a couple of Scriptures during an interview by a journalist.
but I could not really see anything to blame the JWs for in this case.
Other than to create an outward character of righteousness and innocence.
Something he was obviously trying to exploit for his own means.

If he would have gotten away with it he would have collected $1.3 million US.
This would have clean off all his debts. and left a pretty sum to live off perhaps for the rest of his life.
Thankfully he has a personal redeemer in Jesus Christ and after a period of expressive repentance will be welcomed back to the congregation,
perhaps one day return to his position of elder.
