Fitting all the many animals on the Ark has been a problem for skeptics. But consider their may have not been that many " kinds" of animals back then. 1 kind of dog ( wolf) not like today. 1 kind of snake, etc. Perhaps there weren't as many different kinds of each animal evolved as their is today. This would greatly reduced the amount of animals on the Ark.
Not to mention that Noah was a pretty smart guy considering he was a few hundred years old when he was commanded to build. Although not supported by scripture it’s not unreasonable to think he was smart enough to bring the babies. They are smaller and they eat less and reach reproductive age more robustly onto the new land rather than older, larger animals that might be “past their prime.“ I think there might be some merit in this line of thought.
so few animal kinds rapidly evolved into the myriad that we have today?

Ancient civilizations have astounded humanity many times of what they were capable of. This feat of building an arc isn't beyond what they could do in that time. IF IP doesn't want to believe the arc had these measurements that is for him to believe, it is something completely different to teach this to others.
InspiringPhilosophy - well at least the built to scale triceratops saddle is legit. Guess it’s time to get to work on the Tower of Babel.
I think you are trying to to conform the Biblical text for the sake of modern science instead of trusting the Word of God .
No he's trying to figure out the purpose and what God actually said. Also there is two books the book of nature and the book of scripture. If an interpretation of scripture conflicts with what we know from nature it should be taken our interpretation of scripture is wrong
I don't see a problem with God having regret though. I can have regret for something I did, knowing how it would turn out. Like a father punishing his children out of necessity, but who feels regret for it because of his love for them.
No

I think you are trying too hard to pull the extraordinary God into the ordinary for the sake of believability.
This is exactly right. The plain reading doesn’t fit with mainstream history so IP is wresting these passages in an attempt to make it more palatable to a skeptical secular audience that has fulfilled prophecy by denying the catastrophic global flood and attributed its effects to long periods of time.
I think the exact opposite is true. The more "down to earth", if you will, these biblical passages become, the more amazing God becomes. To think that it's a more real, more tangible, more connected to our real lives is powerful. When we talk about the amazing number of events over thousands of years that happened to, for example, get us the bible as we have it, while understanding all the different hands of writing, editing, copying, collating...the power of God grows in magnitude.
When someone says the universe is 10,000 years old, I see a small God. When someone tells me the universe is 14 billion years old, I see a massive, ancient being that requires my humility and awe and amazement. The more I learn about the universe, the more amazing God becomes in my eyes. He is beyond us all, and the extent to which He is beyond us grows as we learn more about His creation and His dealings with us. That He should care about us tiny things...that's even more amazing. As it is written: "we love Him because He first loved us."
D Roe how can you see a small God when he says “let there be light”? And create the earth in days instead of leting the earth create itself?
@@droe2570 how long does the "BIBLE" tell you it took God to create everything?
This explanation may look reasonable and reconciling the Genesis flood account with modern science (and I'm all for it). However, IMHO this may create immense theological implications. Why? "For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy ALL flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. EVERYTHING that is on the earth shall die" (Gen. 6:17, ESV) This is quoting God's words. If the flood was regional, then people and animals in China, in the Americas and Australia must have survived the flood without even hearing about it. Were predeluvian Chinese and Incas more rightheous than people of predeluvian Middle East? Then the above quoted words lose their validity. IMHO trying to reconcile regional flood theory with the Genesis account of flood creates more problems than it is trying to solve.
Hey, at 4:16 you say that god told Adam to go and multiply in chapter one, but in another video you say that chapter one is talking to other humans? Have you changed your view since then?
Hey IP I wonder if you can talk about the talking donkey in the bible cause I would love to see that.
My guess is this is just a miracle. It’s a satirical miracle as well, meant to point out that even a donkey can have more understanding than a human.
The animals were saved to no more of a degree than humans. 8 humans were saved compared to only 2 each for unclean animals
O love you Dude, but are making to muuch out of interpretation, than from what actually says, the context is more for a global flood, and when God says thos prophets that do exaples for the people, he gives the explanation and the meaning, in the flood he does not and the arc is waaaay to big and takes too long to be just an exaple for the people.

What I want to know with respect to the ending points surrounding measurements and idealized numbers: Its certainly worth considering, but seeing as how only 2 out of the 3 measurements of the ark were related to idealized numbers I would argue that its still more likely a near approximation than an outright replacement. Did they idealize 6 feet into 24 meters? or did they idealize 20 meters into 24 meters?
Yes, A.R. George said the Babylonian ziggurat dimensions have been characterized as being on a tablet more interested in abstract ideals than real buildings, but absolutely no data was offered to demonstrate any kind of relation between actual measurements and their idealized records. So that sounds more like contrived conjecture rather than a serious grappling with the data. But not having read his full work, I will reserve full judgement on that.
Im all for local flood, but the video falls a bit flat on the ark considerations.
How would the flood be a judgement on the world if it was local. Is the assumption that all humans lived within that local area? Any ideas?
Simple...it wasn't local. The flood covered the whole earth just as the scriptures say. God then put a rainbow as a covenant He would never do this again. The world hwas seen many local floods since then. The author of this vid is wrangling the scriptures to suit his own philosophy.

InspiringPhilosophy Thank you for the reply. I have watched the video. I think I understand your position. Do you have a video that covers how death can be the consequence of sin if death occurred before Adam and Eve?
@@cubemaster1987 Please remember to read the scriptures....
" And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. (Genesis 7:21-23)"
THE TEXT COULDN’T BE CLEARER-IT SAYS IT THREE TIMES FOR EMPHASIS: EVERYTHING THAT LIVED ON LAND THAT HAD THE BREATH OF LIFE IN IT DIED. EVERYTHING.
It was global

If the whole world was so wicked and evil, why would God only destroy a small region of the earth?
ua-cam.com/video/Q07gxxbggJs/v-deo.html
The video you linked talks about hyperboles in the bible and the various ways we could interpret the textual descriptions of what happened during the flood (you mention various interpretations of the text in favor of the regional flood and in disfavor of the global).
That video does not talk about evil and wickedness (or the motivation behind God doing the flood). The only place where this is talked about in the linked video is from 4mins 51secs to 5mins 15secs where you mention second peter 2-5, you say that the passage could be interpreted as saying that the flood was meant only for the ungodly people of that specific local area in that specific moment in time. This does not follow with the present video at all. The present video talks about God wanting to restart things because humanity is so wicked and evil.
The same question stays: *Why would God only destroy a small region of the earth, if the whole world was so wicked and evil?* You say yourself that the whole world was filled with violence and corruption, even letting Noah move out of the "local ungodly" flooded area to move into the regions He spared (everywhere else in the world) could be dangerous because of the ubiquitous ongoing battles there.
You are assuming the hyperbole doesn’t apply the verses concerning evil. It is still a reference to the land where the flood happened, not the entire globe
Hey IP, can you explain matthew 27: 52-53? was there an actual resurrection of saints or it just apocalyptic?
Check out how in Revelation the throne room of God has 24 human elders in it. This throne room has been depicted many times by the prophets but never with human beings like that. These are the first fruits of the resurrection that Jesus brought to the Father before he was able to start appearing to his disciples and to be able to have contact with them. Note that early after the resurrection he tells Mary not to touch him because he has not yet ascended to the father. Yet shortly after he appears to many and they are able to touch him. I'm obviously not IP but its been 3 months so I figured you might like an answer.
SondrianMusic oh yeah, thank you for your response. But I’ve already found a satisfactory answer
were there part angel part man?
Why did god get mad at the animals??
What if God hit with a regional flood all the people he intended to kill? In your videos on Genesis 1 you make the point that Adam and Eve were not the only humans God created but special humans, the first priests. That was actually quite convincing. Later in Genesis we get to know the genealogy of Adams offspring up until Noah. All of them probably lived in the region hit by the flood and died in the flood. All but Noah and his sons and their wifes. Seems like this explained a regional flood without too many reinterpretations and assumptions being made.
How have Fundamentalists reacted to you and your videos, specifically, Southern Baptists?
Just check the comments section and find people who rage and act like they know everything. Especially the ones that use biblical verses and berate IP for being a faulty apologist.
it says noah was pure which people say he was perfect in but we know noah liked to get drunk off of wine.so he was not perfect,so we have to figure out what pure meant when speaking of noah.another thing if the ark was much smaller than we think,then why did it take him so long to make it.
In this case why did God not simply burn the region like He did in Sodom and Gomorrah? God did not establish a promise to never burn the land again in that case. For Noah, He gave the promise to never flood the earth again, however large regional floods still happen. Would there not be peoples in the surrounding regions who do not follow God? If all flesh that breathed under heaven was to be exterminated, then why was it that not all flesh under heaven was included?
Thumbs up! This is how people should be reading the Bible. To learn something from it. In contrast to biblical literalists who spend so much time trying to prove it's all perfectly historical that they miss the whole message God was trying to convey when inspiring people to tell the story.
Thank you
Subtitles in spanish, please!
I heard this question in a debate: "If God gave you your reasoning powers, how can you trust your reasoning to prove God exists? "
it seems as a variant of the Euthyphro Dilemma... good is dictated by God or God is accessing a Good in which case the good is other to him; but the 3rd option is that God is Good so such as God is good so is he also reasonable. so it isn't a kind of circle where God is giving you the reasoning power to confirm him; I would think atheists find themselves to be reasonable for saying he doesn't exist so it makes little sense to suggest the above question to be the case; because we see it to not play out in reality; unless that is you suppose God or Nature to be an overwriting force that removes any kind of free thinking...
@Allen Darby how could one trust their reasoning powers to conclude God doesn't exist?
How exactly was the whole world judged in a local flood that God promise not to do again and didn't affect everyone on this violent world that God was judging? This doesn't make any sense, the flood is local yet it's going to destroy all the flesh but according to you the text isn't dealing with a global catastrophe? Do you solve an issue like this by declaring that symbolic also? So are you saying Noah held to these beliefs about animals? So God sent animals to support the potential Pagan beliefs Noah had, that's what it sounds like you're telling me. You mentioned "your suggestion" isn't that all this is, you desperately trying to put a local flood into scripture because you want that and if it doesn't make any sense your go-to is "it was just symbolic" I think it's poor form for an apologist to put his suggestion/opinions onto scripture instead of letting scripture form his opinions.
I object on Christian covenant process: it is not tge person who performs the baptism - you do not baptize yourself. You are baptized. Maybe I just read it incorrectly in the video,maybe your theology is not correct.
since baptism is a symbol, the symbol of Holy Spirit's work...
There are so many holes, guesses and presuppositions in this "translation" it is not worthy of commenting. It is like arguing fairy tales.
"Made with bitumen"... so in other words, unlike the Ark Encounter, the real ark didn't leak? 😂
Not an endorsement, but the Ark Encounter is a building built to code to accomidate large crowds, and meant to emphasize the scale and dimensions of the Ark based on biblical interpretations.
It didn't leak. An entry road flooded.
Peace.
by leak, you mean it's taking on water?
Have you ever even been to visit the Ark Encounter? Probably not if your making fun of it.
Holy Bible gives us a date the water was upon the earth 2mo 17day and if you read all scripture most things happen between Jan-feb most happened in February amen
Where did God see everything going? Did he see us becoming like the Imperium of Man from Warhammer? Or did he just see us destroying ourselves?
Probably the later, but we cannot know for sure.

Yes my friend.🙏 And if you don't resonate w/some parts of the Bible it is ok..Idc what anyone says, I kno the truth..The Bible is the most important piece of literature ever written my opinion but it has been heavily altered by man and more importantly by Enlil aka Yahweh and some of the other beings that where originally from the Pliedies that our ancestors referred to as the "Elohim", "Annuna" or "The Annunaki" which came to this planet for gold and other resources and they tampered with our DNA and engineered many of the beings/plant life that live on this earth then and still til these day like cheetahs, dogs, and even all the mixed species that were hear about in all the ancient tales like Anubis for example. They were also referred to as "The Watchers" who created the Nephilim in the book of Enoch.(Which were the true inspiration for the the Greek/Roman pantheon of gods and many other cultures all around the world.) That is the real reason for the contradictions, anger, and mistakes god makes in the Bible. But one of the gifts God gave us that wasn't tampered with and is still active if our DNA is intuition, and if you use it you will kno the truth when you see/read it. You just gotta listen to your heart instead of ignoring it like most of us do in this day and age..The knowledge is literally within you..God luvs you, and you are special and kno matter how hard things may seem, it is all for a purpose you will one day serve. I promise.❤ Stay blessed, friend.

Awesome work as always IP.
mythological beast, eh?
Thanks for the video. I agree with the covenant theology, but I disagree with the fact that God always send a prophet before judgement. No, he doesn’t. People are already without excuse by natural light (Romans 1). Sending a prophet is his grace to further expose them, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t exposed before. There are many times in the Scripture that God has executed judgment without sending a prophet. Even today, there are many who has died without hearing the gospel, and they are still without excuse.
On the other note of preserving animals, as you have mentioned before, the ground was cursed because of Adam. Animals would not be created like the way in prefall genesis. Rather, they will be created through redemption, emerging out of judgement.

No, the animals were needed I think. I think it's time related; higher species of animals take a long time to develop, so it comes in handy when you have genetic material at hand when you need it.
right. because a local flood solves the problem of humanity being corrupt and local floods normally cover mountain tops. and a reed boat would hold up during the flood, and house a family with multiple animals for over a year. why didn't Noah just.. sail to the land when the flood was over, why wait months for the water to dry out?
Exactly!!

It's pretty straightforward: the explanation here makes no sense. Why have this character Noah build an Ark over decades (whatever the dimensions)? Why not simply have him move outside of the flood zone?

I like how god can supposedly kill people in their sleep, but somehow he decides to commit genocide by drowning men, women, and children.
IP, love your videos! ... BTW, ... isn't it plausible that once the flood began, and wild animals were driven from dry land, eventually some of them would end up near the ark? Noah and family could simply corral them, and choose a male and female from each species, and let the excess drown.
Perhaps, I’m not sure how that would work though
I disagree, since it says God told Noah to have the pairs of animals in the boat before the flood began.
I’d love more videos on the theology of animals. Richard Bauckham’s book “living with other creatures,” was a good resource for me and a book I’d recommend on the subject. As always, wonderful work.

That is such an insightful point about why God had Noah bring the animals onto the ark. I had never heard that.

I think it's best to explain in your own presentation on why the arguments for a global flood do not work rather than just throwing up links to atheist content.

Why even flood the world to get rid of sin, when you know you will have to come down as Jesus Christ to die on the cross? LOL
Holy Trinity God doesn't know how to fix this world. LOL
It seems like you are working very hard to find reasons for a local flood, even though the text has no allowance for that. It was explicitly a world-wide flood. We see the global evidence of fossilized layers of aquatic life. Literally all over the planet. From the top of Mount Everest, to the the center of the continental US, and everywhere else. The only explanation is that the entire planet was indeed covered in water at some point. And we have an account of this event in the historical records (including Genesis).
Literally no scientific field gives credence to a global flood
He already addressed this in other videos. And you realize that the mountains have aquatic fossils because the mountains were not originally mountains? They were pushed up to become mountains. Please don't listen to Answers in Genesis. AIG is very misleading and deceptive.
I don't listen to Answers in Genesis, so I don't know what they say. Agreed, many present day mountains (though not all) were most likely not mountains back then, before the cataclysm.
@@ZandarKoad yeah I’m sorry, but biblically and scientifically the flood was not global.
To answer the question: "Why didn't God just create new animals?" Is that God said in Genesis chapter 1 that he finished all of creation, no add ons (in the sense of divine creation ot natural speciation or possibly evolution). Although you make great points, I am in the state of listening to both sides, regardless we are all going to Heaven!
Creating animals again, after the flood, was no option for God. Remember, the earth was cursed. So forming animals from a cursed earth was out of the question.
Hebrew word for "cursed" can be translated as "not blessed".
🎶Ark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King🎶
See here's the problem though if the flood was not worldwide all God had to do was tell Noah to get out of the way. Go to where it's not flooded LOL.
You've got this all wrong! First of all the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 is speaking of angels who took women and bare children with them which were giants or nephilim a hybrid and also they started cross breeding all the species of animals with themselves and splicing dna. This is why God brought on the flood. The reason God said that Noah was perfect in his generation is that his dna was not corrupt because God also says that Noah is righteous in the same scripture, so it's referring to Noah's untainted bloodline. The same with the animals and for one thing God was not making any new animals. Here is the same story in the Book of Jasher and the Book of Enoch giving more clarity, also the Book of Jude and 2Peter in the new testament speak of the punishment of these angels who dealt with women.
Book of Jasher
4:18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
Book of Enoch
VI-XI. The Fall of the Angels: the Demoralisation of Mankind: the Intercession of the Angels on behalf of Mankind. The Dooms pronounced by God on the Angels: the Messianic Kingdom (a Noah fragment).
CHAPTER VI.
1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.' 3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.
CHAPTER VII.
1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
2Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
God has always made us go through water to be saved, a form of baptism. Noah was save in a vessel through the waters of the deluge. Moses led the children of Israel through the Red Sea waters in order to be saved. Christ got baptized through John in the Jordan River in order to show us what we must do to be saved through water baptism and be born again.

All of genesis so far seems to tie together. Could they have all come from multiple interpretations of a single story
In pictographic Hebrew the symbol for city was a man and twisted rope for the meaning of "twisted man" The ancient Hebrews viewed nature as balanced and cities as chaos. Similarly to the native Americans. I'd agree as well. Great vid thanks
Very funny. Twisted rope is very much a tool. So it's just something towards the idea of industry.
Twisting has a negative connotation for you only. Nature isn't balanced. Your statement is full of hot air.
Interesting point . And say more if when you can..
This is really good for a study group.
I take the animals, clean and unclean going into the ark as a symbolic forshadowing of Jews(clean) and the gentiles(unclean) being saved. This is why when Peter had his vision on the roof of the clean and unclean animals God revealed to him that it represented man and through the salvation of Christ no man would be considered unclean.
That's a good point, especially considering Noah shouldn't have any idea about "clean and unclean" animals.
Furthermore when you read Psalm 104 as a whole, it comes across as having the purpose of thanking God for sustaining/renewing the creation he's already made, refers to Lebanon, ships, and animals hunting, people farming to live, etc. all of which don't fit in with the idea of "Psalm 104 6-9 is about the third day of creation" idea rather shaky.
"Travel would be dangerous for 8 people and a herd of animals..." Yeah, but a huge flood is also dangerous. If God protected Noah through the flood, he also could have protected him on any other journey.
But then he would not have stayed and preached condemnation or warning.
@@InspiringPhilosophy He could have preached until "disaster X" came, just like he (presumably) preached until the flood came.
Which he did and at that point he had to float out of there.
@@InspiringPhilosophy God could have provided a high-ground route out, or a valley with no rainfall, or parted the flood like Moses, or a myriad of other options. I'm just surprised when people say God had to do something one way, or couldn't do something another way. Sure, he chose to do it this way, but we can't begin to claim we know why he didn't do something another way.
Yeah, and he could also have just used the ark for a dual purpose, preaching judgement and escape.
Great video. I like your comparison with Adam and Noah. I see you also applied Gen. 1:28 to Adam. The symmetry with the fall of a son is heightened with Ham's son Canaan (Gen. 9.18, 22), as in Fall of Cain and Fall of Canaan.
Excellent interpretation of the Noah's ark story. The idea that prophets perform strange and symbolical things in order to transmit a message. The prophets and the messengers of God as inspired performance artists, as (re)creators and reformers. True bearers of the image of God.
I didn't know what to do with the biblical story of the flood and of the ark, and I was wandering what will be your explanation, and is beyond my expectations. Now the story makes sense to me.
You didn't mentioned any proponent of this interpretation and said that it's your suggestion. If so, it is a meritorious one and I think that you should propose it, develop and debate it even farther.
Thank you for your good work!
So the symbolism of him coming out of the ark with the animals... who was it for if everyone else was dead? Let's remember that "Prophets performed strange and symbolical things in order to transmit a message", not only to future generations (including us) but specifically to the people of their times. Who was there as he was coming out of the Ark?
@@JonathanOlarte he delivered the message to the people before the flood. And built the ark in front of their eyes. After the flood the message and the symbolism was for the very few people of his family, the next generation, maybe even a message for the people around the flooded area.
Of course, the greatest and the highest performance and recreation was made by Jesus Christ and God himself: the crucifixion and the resurrection.
bogdan drăgănescu The resurrection did not occur in the manner you have been taught. You’re interpretation is to literal among a symbolic culture trying to transmit a message. They were symbolically saying his message & spirit will live on through his followers, not that he literally rose from the dead. Because of your newfound knowledge of this Noah account I’’m sure you understand. Good day and God bless.
Sir, In Bible verse(both old testament and new testament)God's face can see (Angel of the lord also lord Jesus Christe )but some bible verse Gods face can't see(God the Father).
Exodus: 33:11
Exodus 33:20
Psalm 110:1 (When Prophet David saying,The lord tell to my lord, he can see only God the Son, but her, perhaps he see both God the Father &Son, but it doesn't satisfy the below bible verse
Gospel of St. Jhon 1:18
" 6:46
" 14:6
Colossians 1:15
Acts 7:56
Some contradiction occured here about God's see can see or can't.
You are mixing up some expressions. God is spirit. You cannot stand in His presence as a sinner and live. The references to "face to face" or "see his back" and the "arms" and "right hand" are anthropomorphisms. Face to face to face is also a figurative expression suggesting openness and friendship
The Son is the second person of the trinity and added a human nature (John 1:14) and became man. Jesus is one person with two natures. An eternal divine nature and an added human nature. Jesus is the image of God meaning He perfectly bears God's name and was sinnless unblemished lamb.
The Father has never been seen (John 1:18, 5:37, Jn. 6:46, 1 Tim.6:15-16)
But in Ex 6:2-3 - God says He used to appear to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty.
God appeared to Abraham when Abraham was 99 years old (Gen 17:1), Ex 24:9-11 and again in other texts.
John 1:1 and 1:14 - God(second person) took on human nature and became flesh and explained it to them. Since no one has ever seen the Father, who is the God Almighty (who is not the Father) who has been seen?”
The pre-incarnate Son.
Moses wrote all that and Jesus said John 5:46 - "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me." When did Moses write about Jesus? When he wrote about God who was seen (the pre-incarnate Son).
I’ve always questioned why Noah is told to take ‘clean and unclean’ animals into the Ark when clean and unclean did not come until Leviticus.
The second flood account was written the Yahwehists
If you accept that the Torah was written by Moses, we can assume that maybe he already had knowledge of clean and unclean while he was writing, and was simply using this terminology to communicate the types of animals to the reader
There is a lot of speculation being used to form your views of Genesis 1-11, many of which are built upon assumptions you have made about the earlier text. You are a good thinker and an intelligent person, but I just don't find this convincing when a clear reading of text works and can be understood, even if it doesn't match up with modern scientific thinking. I also see you going forward to other scriptures found outside of Genesis where it seems the meaning is clearly understood and then reinterpreting those as well. I just don't understand why God would require such mental gymnastics to understand his Word. And while I'm definitely a person who thinks there could be mistranslations into modern language, I also know that God would have known how his Word would be translated, so I find it very doubtful our translations are as bad as they would have to be to support everything you are suggesting.
I'd say I'm with you on this.
The idea that we arent getting a full 4k image out of genesis isnt lost on me. Theres probably alot we will never be able to know, or perhaps be misinterpreting, due to our vast culteral differences between the writters of genesis. But I do find some of his points reaching a bit farther than our ignorance merits. And some things do seem that they do not match durrect from what is read. But I would have to study the ancient hebrew extensively to be sure about that.
The Need for Spiritual Discernment
"These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve."
(2 Corinthians 11: 13- 15) NLT.
John tells us that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil One (1 John 5:19). For this reason, spiritual discernment is of utmost importance. Thankfully, Hebrews 5:11-14 reminds us of believers “who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong” (NLT). In other words, we can get better at distinguishing between truth and error through practice.
In today’s passage, Paul mentions he was dealing with false apostles disguising themselves as servants of righteousness. The same thing happens today: Such servants are all around, “peddling their wares.” It’s their attempt to carry away those who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7).
We may find it challenging to match wits with false apostles, but we can subject them to the obedience test found in 1 John 2:4: “The one who says, ‘I have come to know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” However, this test works only if we ourselves know the truth. Dive into Scripture today so that you can “examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Knowing God’s Word is what will help our quest for godly wisdom.
Amen.
If you can’t show what I said is wrong or false you don’t get to assume the conclusion you want that I’m a false teacher.
Be very careful. There are Christians who have found their faith strengthened, and others who in the comments have said how IP has helped them come to Christ. Do not call what is from God to be from Satan. Doing so suggests to me that you are more likely the false apostle disguised as a servant of God.
Again, be very careful with your judgement, only God can judge His servants. You are not God.

Hi. I don't know much about the arguments for or against a global or regional flood, but I do see something from Scripture that hints at a global flood, or at least a flood that was present in all areas that people and animals dwelt.
In Genesis 9:11,15, God promises never again to 'DESTROY THE EARTH' and 'DESTROY ALL FLESH' using a flood.
When we look at those verses, and the passage as a whole through faith, combined with logic and our own experiences, we arrive at a problem with the regional flood interpretation, at least one where some people or animals were spared, apart from Noah and his family. The reason is because God promises never to destroy the earth, and ALL FLESH (NOT ANY FLESH) using a flood. Now, we see regional floods occur almost yearly where lives are lost. In my lifetime, there have been several storms and phenomenon that have caused floods that have killed people and animals. Therefore, if God meant that He would never again cause a regional flood, then that promise would be null and void, because people and animals have been dying due to regional flooding. However, the rainbow, which is the sign of this promise, is still seen in the sky, which means this promise is still active. But if He meant a global flood, which I feel is what the text says, then the promise is active to this day, because there hasn't been a global flood after Noah.
There is one more argument for a global flood. The rainbow is a sign of God's promise not to destroy the earth using a flood. If God's promise was only concerning a specific region or people, then the rainbow shouldn't appear in areas where communities die from floods, and yet it will appear even in those areas.
I find it very hard to accept regional flooding as it applies to Noah and the ark, simply because Scripture does not suggest it, and neither do our own experiences when interpreted by faith through Scripture.
I’ll cover that when I get to genesis 9, but it is most likely hyperbole - ua-cam.com/video/Q07gxxbggJs/v-deo.html
@@InspiringPhilosophy Ok, thanks. I look forward to it.
The flood obviously didn't kill sea creatures. So even if it was global there's no way all flesh was harmed.
IP is right it's most likely hyperbole.
@@SomeRandomDude000000 You're right, sea creatures were not destroyed. I'm not sure if sea creatures are referred to as flesh in the Bible, but it is clear that the flesh spoken of in Genesis 9:11,15 are all animals that move above land.
This is for two reasons:
1. Genesis 7:21 specifies all kinds of creatures that were destroyed by the flood:
"ALL FLESH THAT MOVED ON THE EARTH perished, birds and cattle and beasts and EVERY swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and ALL mankind"
Genesis 7:21 NASB
2. When God makes the covenant to never again destroy all flesh using a flood, He mentions the creatures that He is making a covenant with, but He does not mention sea creatures. He specifies that this covenant is with Noah and all living creatures that are with him, listing all animals that move on the earth/on land, which He later refers to as 'all flesh'.
"Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; and with EVERY LIVING CREATURE THAT IS WITH YOU, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; OF ALL THAT COMES OUT OF THE ARK, even every beast of the earth."
Genesis 9:9-10 NASB
"It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is BETWEEN ME AND YOU AND EVERY LIVING CREATURE OF ALL FLESH; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy ALL FLESH."
Genesis 9:14-15 NASB
@@SomeRandomDude000000 Also keep in mind that the word 'earth' in the verses I have quoted is not the same as 'world'. It is the same word in Genesis 1:10:
"God called the dry land EARTH, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:10 NASB
God destroyed every living creature on the 'earth'.
Careful over symbolizing the scriptures. It can lead to much confusion. I believe you have suggested that the flood was regional. Have you looked at the evidence to the contrary and what is your explanation?. Yes there is much metaphor in the bible but here we are talking about a narrative. Narratives are told as they have actually happened such as in the gospels. With the exception of Revelation. Here John is describing the vision that our Lord gave him.
It's not really symbolizing but trying to take the pre scientific notions into account and the genre of myth
Jeremiah is link.
Even if one does take the flood as regional, Genesis pretty clearly says Noah was the only good mane and only his family survived. It doe'snt say "The hearts of men in the region were corrupt, but Noah found favor" it says the "hearts if men were corrupt".
It doesn't specificy.
I think it says only good man in the land. I could totally be wrong about that though
Hey Michael, love your content God bless you! If it's okay could you do a video about aliens? I like to wonder how Christian's will respond to aliens.

@@InspiringPhilosophy Thank you very much! :D
The odds of aliens existing and being able to contact us is exactly 0%. Humans have been able to scan space in extraordinarily and unfathomably limited ways for 50 out of 5,000,000,000 years. The odds that another planet in the goldilocks zone exists and sentient life developed AND most importantly developed at the exact same time as humans, .000001% of the entire span of the universe, is 0. Absolutely 0. and THAT is only to see a signal they would have needed to send into the void. That doesn't factor in that any signal they sent would have to have been done waaaay in the past to reach us, so they would've needed to speculate that someone else is out there and wanted to look for them, knowing that they could be extinct long before their signals reached intelligent life. Even if they had universe extent teleporting technology where they could just to any point instantly the universe is so vast it would be like guessing a bitcoin private key by brute force guessing with a keyboard. The time it would take to search the universe is infeasible for any number of beings with any level of technology. There will absolutely never be aliens. There will absolutely never be a need for Christians to worry about reconciling aliens with Christianity.
