I would like to hear your thoughts on what a "virtuous woman" looks like? I pray every day that I will learn to look, speak, think and act like Christ. Research on proverbs 31 only leads me to sources outside of the KJ bible. I know that first and foremost she would love and obey God, then her husband...she would not be a feminist!
Some argue in that, there is then no room for repentance. If God says through FAITH we are justified & Abraham was considered righteous by faith. Genesis 15:6 is the act because of lack of faith?
How did Samson die? is he listed in the chapter of faith in Hebrews Chapter 11: 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Who was Cain's wife? When Cain was punished, he says whoever will see me, will want to kill me! who are these other people? Where did the people from the land of Nod come from?
OK, I admit that in the end of the last chapter I ask for this. But I didn't say anything about wiping out all the animals. Why does God kill the animals, they didn't sin?
Do you know why they couldnt Play Cards on the Ark because Noah was Standing on the Deck and there was also 2 Cheaters on board. Noah also had to say to the Rabbits 2 only. But The Lions Tigers
and Cheaters were very happy when they saw all the other Animals Wow what a Smorgasbord but of course they didn't realize there was going to be a 40 day fast. Ecc3:1-8 There is a Time to Laugh.....
God is a very creative and deep thinker! God told Noah he only needed one of each "kind" or modern words we say species. For an example the dog kind origin would be a wolf.
Genesis 6:20
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
Insects are part of the food chain but for sure I dont like Flys they eat my food and Mosketoes think I am their food and Cockroaches well they dont Wipe there feet before they go into my Pantry Yuk but God said everything He made was good Yep their all needed. He didnt and cant make Junk but we can and do.
If you read the passages Genesis 7: 7-9 Noah and his family went into the ark and then it reads the beast went into the ark. It doesn't say Noah herded the animals in. They went in under the guidance of the spirit of God. The second part of your question, I believe those things are considered diseases and God preserved what was essential to the survival of what remained for the living humans and animals.
Dont be deceived Nathan by Pictures of the Ark, check out its real size. Animals have also evolved there are many more differant species today. Some Paintings arn't factual they come from the Artists imaginations.Popular ones of Jesus are not reality, Jews had short black hair, but God also tells us its a shame for a Man to have long hair 1Cor11:14 Samsons long hair was to show when he had sinned.
I think it's safe to say Noah didn't take on sea animals on the ark either, like whales, orcas, sharks, etc. I assume 'beasts' means land mammals, reptiles, amphibians maybe? Fowl I assume is just a specific category of birds allowed on the ark, which probably didn't include penguins, flamingos. But if Noah didn't include them I wonder why we have penguins and flamingos today?
However, insects are not included in the meaning of behemah orremes in Genesis 6:19-20, so Noah probably would not have taken them on board as passengers anyway.
I would recommend a visit to "The Ark" where there are many interesting ideas that are fun to think about. Also a great deal of information about the world of NOAH.
How do you think Noah loaded all the animals on the ark? If there's a million species of animals, do you think all land and air animals were loaded in? Even spiders, snakes, flies. Is life like bacteria, fungus, flu viruses considered animals too?
Thanks KW for ur kind words We should try to uplift each other..... May The Good Lord richly Bless UsAll especially in these perilous as my Mom always say....AA
Amen. Give God The Glory, Go to the Alter bow down your knees, Bow down your head, being lead by the spirit, At the foot of the cross an invite God into your heart. Dont hesitate! All the Angels in heaven will rejoice. Find Peace today in Christ Jesus. Have a great day, K.W.
Gens ch7 Why God shut the door : God knows Noah heart so He God lock them in. Just imagine the scream that they heard, some were their relatives but it was too late Today is the accepted time don t Waite for tomorrow as there no tomorrow Friends God BlessUs All
Not everything is a metaphor. Most of the Bible gives history of real places, names, dates, tribes. The flood is literal and there's scientific evidence of it. It was completely dark in the ark and he animals likely hibernated so they didn't eat or poop the whole time.
Mommy you may see a boat being built to save people but I see a church. You may see animals entering the boat, but I see people whose SPIRITS or behaviors are like unto animals . You may see Noah gathering food to keep all the animals and his family alive. I see Noah gathering FOOD FOR THE SOUL. Don't ask me of I don't believe the Bible. What I don't believe is that people do NOT understand story
What I am saying is GOD IS A SPIRITUAL Being that lives INSIDE of your body. I believe every word the Bible says. Noah was a PREACHER of Righteousness. Spirit is the thinking, feeling, motivating part of man. You can not understand what the Bible is trying to teach you if you keep mixing physical things with spirit things. Some people act like ANIMALS before they were saved--are they animals? NO?
But did you notice this? God told Noah to gather all the food to be eaten for his family, every animal, bird and creeping thing to keep everything alive. Think about that a minute. Now think about this. After animals eat they want a DRINK of WATER. What do they do after that? They go to the bathroom. Noah only had 1 window--Do you all understand what you are reading? I don't think so, THINK!
Sacrifice? In the verse that you reference don't show provision of sacrifice. It is true that sacrifices were practiced. How do you know that God didn't simply grant them a reprieve?
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
