So, you are saying that the flood was only local to an area and only 15 cubits from that area's floor? And that Cain was still alive and he and his relatives as well as others did not experience the flood and they just played on as if it didn't happen. That's what Irish said and I assume he wasn't drunk but certainly could have been. Second though; must have been to make such a statement.

Only Noad built an ark that took a few years to build to house animals that could have just went over to the next hill. this is the most absurd thing I've ever heard.

That is saying the Bible is wrong and God was silly. Yes, that puts anyone in jeopardy of blasphemey. Or would you try to spriritialize blasphemey out of the picture as well. Do you know what blasphemey is?

Would 15 cubits lift the ark off the ground? What is the draft? Engineering can calculate it.

If the question is directed to me....I don't know Samuel. Was it world-wide or in that area? I think it was everywhere as it is stated the waters prevailed "and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered." [7:19] To me, the important realization is that there was a greater flood before that time and that all the various races, two by two, were with Noah on the ark.

It is also interesting to me that....

7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

One hundred and fifty days....five months....the same amount of time of Satan's great tribulation!

As far as Cain being alive....how long did he live? It is his offspring that were aboard the ark...not Cain, unless God allowed him more years than others. And there is no doubt of that as Kenites are offspring of Cain and, as written, they were around long after the flood.

You really must stop saying anyone is drunk or saying the Bible isn't correct or God is silly or someone is committing blasphemy. Expressing our understanding of what is written is what we are to do.....we discuss, we learn, we teach.

Malachi 3:16-17 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that that feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name. And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him

.

He hears us as we speak to one another. Are we His jewels? Do we sparkle as we reflect His Light?

SP, just put it on the shelf for now, you will not understand it until God opens your eyes. I'm not going to try explaining it to you since I value the pearls.

I accepted Christ as my Savior 05 DEC 1972 @8:30PM. He did save me so my eyes are open and I am not a swine. You resort to belittling and name calling.

The Bible is Holy and as such by God it is God's Spirit. When God speaks His Spirit flows from His mouth. The Bible is God's Words. The Bible is part of the triune as being it's Spirit and the Holy Ghost.

God is Spirit and as such we must worship Him in Spirit and truth. Blasphemey is attributing the works of the Holy Ghost to the devil. Blasphemeing me and calling me swine will be forgiven. Blasphemeing against the Holy Ghost will not be forgiven. Do not put yourself in jeopardy!

You ought to read a read Bible given by God. The KJV Bible is such and as such is a Holy Bible. Corrupted text are coming off the presses as fast as they can turn themout.

May God reward you according to your words and deeds. Amen
