The flood of Noah's

You gave nothing, how the Gentiles survived.

The question is not about the flood of Noah's, but more about the Gentiles. How did the Gentiles survived the flood of Noah's.

So that's the question, the Gentiles

Yes I did. Now you are sounding like the neighbor that does not understand how his next door neighbor survived a fire.

The next door neighbor survived because there was no fire.

The Gentiles survived the flood because there was no flood. Why is that so hard to understand?

Once again, it is not just an opinion. I can support my claims. You seem to be unable to do so. And you just said that it matters to you whether people believe your myth or not. The proper phrase is "I could not care less". Sorry, but when a person misuses that phrase it indicates that they cannot think logically. If you could "care less (two words by the way, not one), you are saying that it matters an indeterminate amount to you.

Pointing out that there was no flood in the first place solves a non-problem. That is the answer to the apparent contradiction.

Perhaps it would help if you admitted your errors in at least the little things. The impact of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was either in the Yucatan or just barely into the Gulf of Mexico. It struck very near the beach there, whether in the Gulf or not is hard to say. The place where it struck is not a desert. Can you admit that error of yours?

Look, I do not care whether you believe in the flood of Noah's or not.

The Thread is not about the flood of Noah's, but about how the Gentiles survived.

But you keep running on things that has nothing to do with what the Thread is actually about.

So why did you lie and say that I changed the subject?

I lied about nothing, you jump into the conversation without knowing what was being said or are you in the habit of jumping into a conversation without knowing what is being talk about first.

I got off track. What should have been talking about.

Please do not misrepresent what others know. Once again, I can explain why we know that there was no flood. Calling that an "opinion" is not honest.

And you do not seem to understand the fact that there was no flood explains how they survived it.

The fact that there was no flood is on topic. You simply do not like the obvious answer.

Another analogy. A troop of Boy Scouts went camping. One of the mothers heard that Bigfoot came down and attacked the camp. When she saw that there were no injuries she kept asking how they survived the attack. The fact that Bigfoot is a myth was an answer that she could not understand. No Bigfoot, no attack, no problem.

No flood, no death of Gentiles to be expected, no problem.

So again where did the Gentiles come from?

So again, explain where did the Gentiles come from after the flood of Noah's ?

Have you read the definition of gentile?

gen·tile
ˈjentīl/
noun
plural noun: Gentiles
  1. a person who is not Jewish.



    That’s all it means.
From your KJV:
Religious Forums

“And all flesh died that moved on the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man:“

I already knew all of that.
But you still didn't explained, how the flood of Noah's effected the land where Noah was at.
But didn't effect the land of the Gentiles
in Genesis 10:5 ?

You included me in a multipost and I did answer your question about Noah and the land of the Gentiles. Did you have any questions about it?

My question is, If the flood of Noah's was to supposedly covered the whole earth, where did the Gentiles come from in Genesis 10:5


There really is no answer. At this time you are asking if something happened that we know did not happen how do you explain this self contradicting story in the Bible? There are all sorts of self contradictions in the Bible and the easiest and best explanation is that the Bible simply cannot be taken literally. If one insists that the Bible be taken literally you will continue to end up with self contradiction after self contradiction.

I've been studying the Bible for some time, and have not found any contradictions.

Theologians tend to use the term "variations", and they're found throughout the scriptures. Here's just one: How many angels were at Jesus' tomb, where was/were he/they located, what did he/they say, and what happened right afterwards? As you'll see, no two gospel accounts agree.

That's because you have 4 gospel writer's giving their version of the tomb of Jesus.

This is like at an accident the police goes around asking what people had seen, and each one of them gives their version on what they saw, but each one of them gave a different version on what they saw.

The same with each gospel writer gave their version of the tomb of Jesus. So each one gave a different version.

The same, if you and me, gave our version on something, I bet your version and my version would be different.

So what's the big deal.
