Noah's Ark

Ricky:
Does Ray say anything about this story ? I have big trouble believing Noah's Ark. According to scripture Noah was 500 years old, and he built a boat 7 stories high and longer than a football field, hard to believe. But this, he was to bring aboard the ship 2 of every kind of animal there was for 40 days and nights. How did he travel the world to do this ? He would have needed a million pounds of food to feed them for 40 days. Where did the food come from ? There would have been thousand's of animal 'a on the boat. How could he clean up after them. This story is very hard to buy.

Hi Ricky,

First let me confess that I'm a believer, so you know which side I'm on... ::)

Just one little point to begin.
Noah didn't have to travel to collect the "one pair of each kind" of animals.
e.g. one pair of puppies, one pair of infant pigs, seven of infant cattle etc. and they grew and matured for one year.
God "sent them" to the ark location at the appropriate time and they went in to feed. Why not? Plus it was a miracle.
Gen 6:20, Gen 7:9, Gen 7:15-16

Of course my view is based upon possibility rather than upon provable Bible facts, but you can see where I am going with my understanding.
If we can believe in our own resurrection after rotting in the grave for centuries, then maybe we can give God credit for doing the humanly impossible to accomplish His loving purpose.

Kindly offered, Bob

Dennis Vogel:
Start the video around 42 minutes in where Ray mentions Noah and the flood.

You can also listen to this where Ray goes into more detail: https://bible-truths.com/audio/Nash08ConfSession8A.mp3

Or watch these two videos: https://youtu.be/PszDw1lr9MY  and  https://youtu.be/z9E0p_zDjsY

Noah's flood was not global, it was a local flood. Noah did not take two of every animal on the planet. There was not enough room for that many animals. And there was not enough room for all the food required to keep the animals alive. And there were not enough people to feed and dispose of all the waste from so many animals, etc.

nshan:
Pardon my two cents, but for the unclean animals not being allowed on the ark this is what I found:

Gen 7:2 - Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

If Noah was 600 by the time the flood came I believe that was a miracle itself. I don't have a big opinion or scripture on whether it was global/local. I just assume the former and try to find the meaning behind it.
