Watch this and learn more about Rainbow 🌈

God really kept to His promise. Yes, he did.

The type of flood happening in our present dispensation is a child play or millionth volume (10‐¹⁰⁰⁰) or so infinitesimal of the real flood that happened at Noah Period.

May this our world NOT experience that kind of the flood. God is so merciful and compassionate, that is why YOU and I are NOT CONSUMED.

There may never be a flood to wipe off the earth again, but the Scriptures predict that the present heavens and earth will be destroyed at the revelation of Jesus Christ, who is coming back to judge all men, both living and dead.

"But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."

2 Peter - Chapter 3:7

Chai !

So, in this time and age where any kind of knowledge is easily accessible to educate ourselves about the world around us, we still have people in this part of the world who attended schools were, at least ,they did elementary science ,but still believe as true that a rainbow was created for the first time after Noah's flood?

Hei! Hei! What's this now? ehn

Haaa! No,no no, no

Please for God sake,the Bible is a book of faith and not science.

You are the one to be pitied if you follow scientists blindly. Scientists don't have all the answers. Many of their theories are nonsensical and outright lies - case in point, evolution, the big bang, abiogenesis - which all sound foolish and ludicrous to the thinking man.

You're actually talking to yourself. Science has it limitations, no doubt about that, but once it knows something very well, it knows it more than how it's described in your religious text

If you had a proper scientific education, you would have
known that rainbows have been appearing in the sky before your Bible said they did. Noah's flood is an allegory that no one should interpret literally.

In your ignorance, you're afraid to know the truth so you don't lose your faith, but the irony is that your Bible had lamented that " my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge"

What is the truth? Can scientists explain the origin and diversity of life, the origin and complexity of the earth? They come up with things like the big bang, abiogenesis, and evolution. And you want me to put my belief in their flawed, nonsensical theories? Study the design and anatomy of the human body and tell me where it came from.

You don't know that fallen men are proud and liars by nature and hate God's revealed truth as the Creator and Sustainer of this world.

So we should deny that Noah's flood actually happened and that the rainbow is just a natural phenomenon that has been in existence for millions of years?

Well, good luck with your worldly wisdom and your belief in your scientists. You went to school but you cannot think for yourself.

So we should believe science that came into existence couple of years ago, something that has been in existence before man was gifted the knowledge of what the world is today

Very funny.

I didn't ask you to believe science. I said the conditions for the formation and appearances of rainbows in the sky are not always met hence you don't always see them.

I expected you to either ask for the conditions or investigate it yourself so that you can easily predict accurately when next a rainbow will appear in front of you.

Science doesn't ask you to believe anything. The truths it present to you are based on what is observed happening in the world around you.

Please focus on the rainbow and tell me how the scientific explanation for their formation and appearances in the sky is flawed or nonsensical.

Who are the fallen men and haters of God's truth?

The story shouldn't be interpreted literally. It's an allegory. Genesis never declared that the rainbow was invented for the first time after the flood,but that it serve as symbol for God's faithfulness. The original Hebrew text from which the story was translated from didn't contain any verb which suggest the creation of a rainbow after the flood.

I don't believe in scientist. I follow the science and always test if the information or conclusion which they have presented is supported by evidence before accepting it. And this means, I'm able to think for myself.

Brother, I am saying that there is a spiritual connotation to the rainbow, that God is the one that creates the rainbow every time you see it, as a visible token of the covenant which He made with Noah and every living creature after him not to destroy the entire world again with water, as He did to the people in Noah's day. It is not a phenomenon that just occurs naturally, and at the perfect conditions, and without meaning, as scientists would have us believe. This is my exact point.

But if you do not believe that Noah's flood really happened, you would believe these scientists and think there is no meaning to the rainbow, and that nature has a mind and power of its own.

Have a great day.

JovialJune:
So how come rainbow doesn't always form everytime it rains? Or you think sunlight doesn't always reflect in water droplets when and after it rains?

There is a religious meaning attached to it, formed for the very first time as a covenant to Noah.

You have to be at the proper angle to see it. If you are at 42° to the incident light you will see a rainbow. Unless you think 42 is a magic number there is no religious significance.

You didn't take your time to read my reply. I said Genesis did not state that God created the rainbow after the flood, but only mentioned that its appearance in the sky whenever it does is symbolic of God's faithfulness. The principles which governs the formation and appearance of the rainbow represents natural laws which has been operational since the beginning of time. So, if you believe God created the world and everything in it which also includes natural laws, but at the same time believe rainbows only started appearing after the flood, you're contradicting your God ,and not only calling him a liar but also affirming he didn't create the world.

Yes, because the conditions which causes rainbows to appear in the sky automatically have been always been there prior to Noah's Ark. Both the sun and water droplets have been in existence before Noah.So, it doesn't need God to intervene to cause it to happen each time. It manifest by itself without fail once the conditions are met. You can argue that God created it at first. I will not argue against that for the sake of this conversation, but to declare God is still creating it each time it appears till this very time, is propagating falsehood

But if you do not believe that Noah's flood really happened, you would believe these scientists and think there is no meaning to the rainbow, and that nature has a mind and power of its own.

Have a great day.

Believing in Noah's story is not the main issue here, but whether God has created a rainbow whenever it appears or did after Noah's flood. I said no. There's even a scientific experiment you can conduct in your bedroom to understand how rainbows are formed. Science is based on evidence not belief and it's not disputing God. Its interest lies elsewhere.

There's no where in the Bible passage below where it's mentioned that God created rainbow for the first time after the flood or that he's the one creating it each time it appears in the sky. So one wonders which Bible most of you Christians have been reading, especially the person who created this thread. "I have set my rainbow" doesn't translate to creating it for the first time. It means using or marking something that has already been in existence as a sign for something, the covenant.. The original Hebrew text from which the passage is translated from has no word that refers to creating something. I"have set my rainbow" The use of the personal pronoun, "my" refers to something already in existence as at the time the statement was made. You cannot describe a thing as my own if it's not already there or already owned it. If the passage is reading "I have set a rainbow" then it's correct to say it was created for the first time after the flood. Synonyms for ,set as used in that passage are, designate, name assign etc. So in other words, you can also translate the passage to , "I have named, designate, or marked my rainbow as" ......
