Agreed.
But perhaps the lesson to take from that is that some people can be saved on account of one righteous man. All those who belong to that man. In the same way, all those who belong to Christ are saved on account of HIM. Not on account of themselves
Perhaps....but perhaps the lesson is that ONLY the people (and their immediate families) who were communicated to DIRECTLY by God survive mass executions....
See, we can make it mean anything we want....
I think Noah'sfamily was saved on account of his faithfulness.
tec,
Appears that they've had an unfair advantage. God personally told Noah what to do, Noah had better believed it.
There is a big difference in God whispering something in your ear and someone else whispering in your ear what God whispererd to them...
Amen! Thank you and all the best.
What you're asking me to do is dismiss everything Peter said about the flood because you don't agree the flood happened.
Dude, wrong, wrong, wrong!
I am not asking you to dismiss anything! What I am asking is WHAT WOULD IT TAKE for you to question its validity.
If the answer is "NOTHING", then so be it.
If the answer is "XXXXXX", then say what XXXXXX is.
I am not trying to make you give anything up, I am trying to see if my decision to bail out of this thread in a first place was sound.
Thank you.
Terry,
Run with it. Feel like the proud father of 8 children...
popsiclecakes (I once called you that ), a good one up there, sister.
truthseeker,
My question in post 658 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ stands. Please answer.
Thanks.
truthseeker,
My question is as of today, as the account is obviously mentioned by Peter and Jesus, not hypotetically "if it wasn't referenced". Please stay on topic.
Should I infer from your response that the real answer is "Nothing"?
truthseeker,
I said earlier that I am out, but I feel compeleld to jump back in.
What would be necessary to convince you that the flood account may not be literal and may not have happened as described in the Bible?
A published study? A supernatural experience?
Nothing?
for my birthday, my daughter (who works for apple) got me an iphone.. yes, i was using an old motorola flip-phone until now...like a geriatric captain kirk.. and i wondered why people had been giving me those strange looks before.... .
anyway, imagine my reaction to the mammoth technology contained in an iphone.. talk about a miracle, this qualifies.. i'm particularly impressed by the onboard gps.
i can type in a destination and the phone already knows exactly where i am and will plot a destination map onscreen.
Good for you, Terry...and let's not forget that with all amazing features and apps, you can also use the iPhone to make and receive phone calls
