Did anyone get their Ark maths mixed up?

^^^^ Sure Pastor Sure. in the old days the ARK was as large as a female and male T-REX add to that Dactyles and other leviathan creatures, plus Noah's children. Gosh when will Christians start getting real!!

"The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits" (Genesis 6:15).

Please have u forgotten 2 Cor.4:4; its needless trading words with those who speak against the knowledge of your heavenly Father. Just sow the seed of God's Word & ignore their arguments.

We only pray that they receive Jesus as their Lord & importantly, come to the knowledge of the truth!!

Nests in the Ark

"Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch." (Genesis 6:14)

Details surrounding the story of Noah and the Flood have long caused laymen and theologians alike to stumble and compromise.

None could argue that the wording was not clear.  God had commanded Noah to build a wooden boat of huge dimensions and to take on board representatives of land-dwelling, air-breathing animals.  The Flood, Scripture reveals, devastated the entire world.  But nineteenth-century theologians, pressed on by Hutton, Lyell, and others proposing the new uniformitarian interpretation of earth history, became convinced that the scriptural account must be understood in a figurative sense.  Their twentieth-century counterparts repeat this error, promulgating the non-biblical idea that the Flood was only local.

Some have wondered how Noah could gather all the animals, but the Bible simply says they "went in two and two unto Noah into the ark" (7:9), evidently migrating to the location on God’s command.

Their care while on the Ark has also been raised as a problem.  But, in all likelihood, the animals entered a state of semi-dormancy, as nearly all of their descendants do today when faced with danger over which they have no control and from which they cannot flee.

Scripture supports this idea in our text: The word "rooms," which is more properly translated "nests" everywhere else in Scripture, implies a small place to sleep or nestle, rather than a large cage.  The job of caring for the animals may have been difficult, but our gracious God would have seen to it that it was possible.  Questions like these are no cause for compromise.

That a global cataclysmic flood occurred cannot be denied by considering all the evidence. All nations and all tribes have a story about the flood which has been likely corrupted if the story was passed down orally. I feel so sorry for those who have no knowledge that people in the past (around 1600 AM or 2500 BC) had technology much better than us and we are just beginning to catch up. We still cannot cut large blocks of stone like those ancients in Africa, America, Asia and Europe. Who built the Great Pyramid?? Who built the structures on Easter Island?? One block in Lebanon is so massive NO CRANE ON THIS PLANET CAN CARRY IT!!

Noah built the ark mainly of gopher (cypress) wood but he had metal rivets and washers in the ark. The rivet contained titanium, aluminum, manganese, vanadium and chromium. He need not take the fish with him according to Genesis. He only took a pair [female and male] of every unclean kind and seven of every clean kind. If anyone tells me the dog, wolf and coyote are of the same kind, I would believe the person. The horse, zebra and donkey are the same kind of animal. If the animals could originally bring forth, then they are of the same kind. He did not need to carry massive animals. THE SMALLER ANIMALS CAME TO HIM!!

How did clams in the closed position get to the top of Mount Everest, Mount Kilimanjaro or the rest? Might I add that clams CANNOT walk? FOSSILIZATION (the hardening of organic tissue) requires a RAPID BURIAL BY WATER to occur. Clams also open when they die so this evinces the clams were not expecting to die.

ALL ANIMALS ARE SMALL BEFORE THEY GET LARGE. Noah could easily have taken 1000's of tiny land animals which would later grow large and adapt to their environment after the flood. In humans, we have seen a White South African give birth to a Black and a Black Nigerian give birth to a White. A similar phenomenon occurs in animals at times. I would rather believe in the most high GOD through his son (Yeshua the MESSIAH) my whole life and when I die find out he is fake than scoff at him my entire life to find out he is real at RESURRECTION.

Bookmarked.

Hence, the real reason are that God favor Noah for being righteous. Nonetheless, Noah's ship had metal reinforcements.

What then does Noah's Ark represent in our day since the Old Testament is just a shadow of the New. What is the substance?

wirinet:

Are you Mr Olaadegun alter ego? You make so many false claims, unfounded assumptions and worse still outright lies just to sell your dogma - and you claim to be a geologist.

First Noah without any engineering background, almost single-handedly built the ark with God's help , so it would be misleading to say that it was built by amateurs. Noah was not an amateur ship engineer because he had never built a boat in his life. Just like Mohammad could not claim to be an amateur author as he had never written before writing the Koran. 

I had explain in another post of the same topic that it was impossible for water to flood the whole earth up to 17,000ft (actually up to 29,000ft to be able to cover mount Everest). To do that you need over 30times the quantity of water we have on earth today. Where did the water come from and where did it go after the flood?

The Titanic was a feat of Engineering because it floated and sailed, it sank because it stuck an ice berg. There is no physical evidence that a wooden boat that is capable of accommodating two of every specie of plant, animal and probably fresh water fishes of the world ever floated not to talk of sailing. And besides the ark would have to strike an ice burg or a rock on a mountain before we can conclude that it is unsinkable or unbreakable.

wow im aware of a scientific theory or rather hypothesis that states and proves the posibility of a universal flood and it says almost the same thing the bible says. The earth was a single landmass, if u are a good scientist you can probably imagine what happen when the continents broke away and how it happened.

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be (Matt.24:37)

May we not miss it in Jesus' name.

thehomer: I hope you realize that the ark was just a myth.

and what made it a myth? even an alien knows it happened u shuld learn to read ur bible daily n believe what the bible says dont be a doubtin thomas

Ok This is an emotive subject for anyone from Belfast (where the Titanic was built).

The ship was OK when it was launched. Some idiot sailed it into an iceberg!!!

If any of you buy a car and drive it into a brick wall do you blame the guy who built the car?

(Anyway if they had counterflooded the opposite end compartments they would have levelled her up and stopped the inrush of water spilling over to the next compartments. She would have been afloat and with limited steerage.)

Nope. Not a myth. A true historical event.

Where did it happen?
