Flood in Noahs story came long ago before your greatest great grand pa was born... so he wouldn't know where it got to...
Mrlaw93, hope u heard dathuh
Meanwhile I think God destroyed the earth with flood for a purpose being to restructure the earth n make it look new n fresh.
That means u buy John D Morris' idea. Good.

Since genres didn't exist then and apostle Paul didn't tell us which not to use, you are helping him to tells us not to use rap/ hip hop abi

okay, so what genre are those spiritual songs, psalms and hymns?
Rap songs are hiphop are spiritual songs shey? Maybe u shud go buy a collection of hymns and help urself, better still listen to songs by Hillsong United.

I searched for this topic on NL before posting. I got two results for my query.

Unfortunately, the Ops of those threads couldn't or rather didn't give a clear answer to this BIG puzzle.
Where Is The Garden Of Eden

Unsatisfied, i made my research and came out with this article - (sorry i forgot the link for the article below) - Pls read with me:

Where Was the Garden of Eden Located?

by John D. Morris, Ph.D.
.
.

Over the years, many have claimed the Garden of Eden has been found. Of course the location of each "discovery" is in a different location. The Bible describes the area around the Garden in Genesis 2, even using recognizable place names such as Ethiopia. It mentions a spring in the Garden which parts into four major rivers, including the Euphrates. This has led many, including Bible scholars, to conclude that the Garden of Eden was somewhere in the middle eastern area known today as the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley, with its remains long ago vanishing.
It is also true that this area (the "fertile crescent"wink was the location of the ancient Tower of Babel and the patriarch Abraham's home in the city of Ur. Without a doubt, the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley plays a unique role in Biblical history, but was it the location of the Garden of Eden? I think not.
First, let's examine the Biblical information. While the Tigres and Euphrates both have their headwaters in the area surrounding Mt. Ararat, they do not flow from a source like the spokes on a wheel, filling the land as mentioned. Nor are the other two rivers present and none go to Ethiopia. Furthermore, the mineral deposits mentioned bear no resemblance to those in this area. In short, the geography and descriptions don't match.
The key is in recognizing that through the Flood of Noah's day, "the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished" ( II Peter 3:6). As described in Genesis 6-9, the Flood would have totally restructured the surface of the globe. It would have done what major floods do—erode the land surface in one area and redeposit those sediments elsewhere. Biblically, the Flood covered the planet with processes operating at rates, scales, and intensities far beyond those possible today. No place on Earth could have survived untouched.
These sediments would have been full of organic debris, which over time would either fossilize or metamorphose into oil and gas. The sediments would harden into sedimentary rock, in places bending into mountains or breaking along fault systems.
Today, the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley contains sediments over two miles thick, from which are pumped enormous quantities of oil and gas. The sediments, now rock, are dramatically bent into modern mountains as well as subsurface mountains, and brutally broken by major fault systems. They deeply cover and obscure any possible pre-flood locations. Furthermore, the basement rock, if indeed it was present before the Flood, would have likely undergone erosion also. No present topography or underground surface could possibly bear any resemblance to the pre-flood world. That world is gone!
Noah and his family would have encountered the present-day Tigris and Euphrates Rivers soon after leaving the Ark. As their descendants migrated, they would give familiar names to the new rivers and places.
God placed an angel at the entrance to the Garden to keep pre-flood men from returning. The Flood made even that precaution unnecessary.

Do you buy the ideas or the reasoning line of John D Morris huh
Whether you buy it or not, be sure to backup your claim with reasonable reasons.

Sure!
What does the bible say about rap music or genre of music?
Ephesians 5:19
Colosians 3:16.
.
.
.

Genres of songs/music couldn't have existed in the days of the Apostles, so Paul couldn't have categorically told them which genre to or not to use, but we make inferrences, deductions, and insinuations from the solem words "Spiritual songs, psalms, etc"

Samsong has lotta raps I mean lots, midnyt crew? u haven't heard midnyt crew's Abdul morire remix? JAM of LIFe
Ehhn? I never knew i was calling devils angels of light...according to you.

But, let's say you lack knowledge
You spoilt it all here, first, do u really knw the meaning of the word "knowledge" huh If you do, then u choose nt to act and react by the knowledge you have

LOOK CAREFULLY.
State your OBSERVATIONS/DISCOVERY.
If you discovered none, just keep mute and keep on looking.

charlsecy:
What a highly confused and disjointed analogy!

You admitted the Bible doesn't forbid it, why imply again that it is "not good?"

Secondly, so discussion on a topic is what determines the goodness or badness of ideas or concepts expressed therein? So, the subjects of all topics on Nairaland are "not good" simply because they have been discussed or being discussed on a thread? I wonder what sort of reasoning is that?

Maybe you need a little informing on "why" this discussion:

A. While some societies approve of cousin marriages, others frown upon and reject it.

B. The Bible nowhere condemns cousin marriage, but some uninformed persons let their hasty assumption guide their utterances instead of the words of the Bible. Or they let the standards of society they come from influence what they say and then misapply it to the Bible.

C. People from different backgrounds and with different understanding discussing a topic.

These are some of the "whys" of this thread, not whether cousin marriage is good or bad in itself. Discussion on a topic allows people to express their views on such topic. Some views are wrong, some informed, others relative.
Bro, i hand u over to ur mind and conscience. I have no time for baseless arguements. I very well know your type.

Stop appealing to your uninformed assumption or conscience. The Bible does not forbid cousin marriages. Something is not necessarily good or bad because people accept or reject it.

When twins were being slaughtered, it was acceptable by tradition, but was it godly?
The bible doesn't forbid it, fine,but the bible says, if u knw what is good, do it. If cousin to cousin marriage is good, there wud hav been no nid 4 dis thread.
RomanceRe: Dating Your Cousin: Is It Ethical? by Mescopaul(m): 8:07am On Nov 14, 2014
If it were moral enough for you to have sexual relationships with your cousin, you wouldn't see the need of asking if you could. For instance no one asks if its ethical to greet an elderly person, or to help the poor, because these things are moral.

For those saying that the Bible, God, does nt condemn it, now answer this: If morals is against something, is it God that will agree to such thing??

If our conscience condemns us, God is greater than our conscience.
