If Jeus as a teacher did in fact use the Noah story to illustrate his message, why does this necessitate it be a historical account?
Good point - I was making the assumption that because he used the story he was saying it was an actual account. He could have been using the story as an illustration. Thanks for sharing your view on this!
I appreciate that point too. I know that many times I have drawn on fairy tales etc to make a point. I and my listeners do not for a minute believe that Cinderella existed but since we both know the story the parallel is understood. The stories of Danel, Noah and Job may have been the stories told to children on long winter evenings before the invention of tv.
