How many kinds did Noah bring into the ark, two or seven?

Genesis 7:2-3 and Genesis 6:19-20

Two (Genesis 6:19-20) -- "And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive."

Seven (Genesis 7:2-3) -- "You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female; also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth."

Suggested answer:

Two and Seven. This is not the Great commission or the gospel. We are to preach the truth to them that were lost for their recovery

You have to give explanation to your answer and why did you say this question has nothing to do with the gospel truth? The least you could say is to ask me how does this relate to the gospel.

Sure, but this should not mean that you cannot contribute yours.

Suggested answers:

Genesis 6:19-20 simply instructs Noah to preserve two of every kind. Genesis 7:2-3 is additional information where seven of the clean animals were to be taken and two of every other kind. The reason for this is that the extra animals were for sacrifice. "Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar," (Gen. 8:20).

Logically, to have seven pairs also means that there are two pairs since the two are included in the seven. If one verse said take only one pair and another verse said seven pairs, that would be a contradiction.

Is that your purpose in life? To call one who has been fearfully and wonderfully created an 'it'?
