I survived a 3-hour manipulation session with 2 elderettes!

by Faithful Witness in

i'm not sure how else to describe this meeting at my kitchen table.

my elderette ("miss k") arrived with her friend in tow.

i vaguely remember the 2nd lady ("miss w") from the times we went to the kh, but like miss k, we never really talked in depth.

I sound like Miss K? What is she like?

So your rationale is, because it doesn't say anything about Noah preaching in Black and White, in the book of Genesis? Because, the book of Hebrews, and 2 Peter, both support the thought that Noah wasn't silent about God's intent at that time in history.

I'm not taking sides in your argument with Miss K. I'm just expressing an opinion on this topic. I struggle to believe in the Bible every day, and sometimes it is a challenge when there is a lack of supporting documentation, and background to fully understand the context, and meaning. I don't think that the GB, or anyone has the manopoly on Bible understanding.

Any seniors looking for association?

life is tough when you've spent your best years in the borg...how do you reconnect when kids are grown and you're close to retirement age?.

I hope all of you get feeling better.

So did Noah keep it a secret? When asked about the ark, did he just sweat and say, " Well, cough, cough, it's nothing, just a family project that I'm working on".

Hmmm...good point Island Man. The Greek does mention, "they didn't know"

I don't know Greek, and wouldn't be in any position to argue how those Greek word's should be understood. The thought in 2 Pet 2:5 , in the Greek, does claim that Noah was a "Preacher". Heb. 11:5 says that, "Noah condemed the world" (Byington translation). The Greek says, "though which faith he judged down the world".

Well, I did see it, and I have already posted my comments. Here are a few more.

The Noah movie, shouldn't have Noah's name on it. Is it creative, it sure is. It is packed with special effects, and interesting story twists. I enjoy listening to stories, but let's be fair, there is fantasy, and reality.

Hmmmm.... You got me thinking there about Noah, the command given to him and his three sons entering the ark. So I researched.

Jehovah gave that command just 7 days before the deluge came.

News about the flood came to Noah before any of his sons were born. He was instructed to build that ark, while he bore sons, and saw them grow, get married and so forth. The Bible tells us that only Noah found favour with Jah. So what happened during those many years? Just because the Genesis account doesn't mention that Noah preached, what do you think Noah did when the neighbours asked him, "What the hell is that, Noah, that you are working on"?

Jesus also said that the generation before the flood, took no note. No note of what? Did Noah keep it a secret?
