  Does Genesis Teach a Local Flood?

  by JanH in

  i went to the homepage for ray franz' commentary press, and i found an article there promoting the idea that genesis teaches a local flood.

  the author believes the genesis flood actually happened, as a local event, and that an ark actually were floating on top of local flood waters in the mesopotamia area some thousand years ago.

  i recognized many arguments from a talk carl olof jonsson gave at a "christian freedom" seminar in sweden in, i think, 1996, so i guess that this article, too, is written by coj.

  If the satellite shows wooden beams in a rib-pattern for a ship sitting on top of Ararat, it will matter a great deal.

  If the satellite photos show something like you describe we'll know it's a fraud. They might as well tell us the Queen Mary has been found up there.

  Let's imagine that the satellite sends back pictures showing that something roughly the size and shape of "Noah's Ark" does sit on Mt. Ararat.

  What does that prove?

  Only that something roughly the size and shape of "Noah's Ark" sits on Mt. Ararat, little else.

  Does it prove that waters covered the earth? Does it prove that every kind of animal got crammed in there? Does it prove that Noah had blue hair?

  It's like saying the existence of Jerusalem is proof that there was a shekinah light.

  What if there's nothing there? Is any religion going to say, "oops, we goofed."?

  i usually for some reason wake up pondering on my life and coming up with questions about certain things... this morning i looked out my window and thought... if god made earth for humans to live on.. then why did he create billions, and billions of planets inside billions and billions of galaxies?

  if earth is the one out of allll these planets that has life on it... why?

  I'm beginning to suspect that AGuest's tongue is planted so FAR into her(?) cheek she could be in danger of swallowing it. Be careful, Sista!

  ok this has nothing to do with being a jw or anything of that nature but it is important to me and i need some help:.

  here goes i have been drinking rum and coke (bacardi) since i can remember and finally realized that maybe it is contributing to my severly harsh hangovers.

  so i went on a quest in search of a new drink.

  I think you might have been using sweetened cranberry juice - the straight stuff can be pretty tart.

  Supposedly the "ultra-refined" vodkas like SKYY won't give you a hangover, and the advertising for BLAVOD black vodka speaks of how the herbal agent that makes it black reduces hangovers and... AND is an aphrodesiac! All they need to do is to claim it is also a contraceptive, and they OWN THE MARKET!! (for 9 months).

  I like bourbon, gin & tonic (it's MEDICINAL!!), tequila.

  I'm a social drinker - I drink 'til everyone leaves.

  Old Joe Rutherford had it right, "hair o' the dog, m'Lord!"

  Hi VM44 -

  Permit me to PRETEND to support the teaching of a global flood.

  ...I'm pretending here, so don't jump down my throat...

  Rain is fresh water. Saltwater is denser than freshwater. When rain falls on a body of water, that body of water beomes calm due to the cumulative effect of the energy interference of thousands of tiny splashes (this isn't BS - look at a lake during a storm - wave action is greatly reduced. High seas during hurricanes are the result of wind, not rain.) The reduced wave action allows stratification of the layers of water - fresh above, salt below.

  During the flood, the fresh water floated on top of the salt water and so the fresh water fish were OK. Salt water fish stayed in the saltier lower depths.

  - - - end pretense - - -

  I hereby prophesy that some version of the above would be used to answer your question, and I have never uttered a false prophecy.

  Are you a believer now?

  Let the Watchtower Society Speak!

  by professor in

  come on wts (or the governing body recently seperated from the watchtower society so they can dishonestly steer clear of the legal consequences of their actions)...... speak for yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  tell the world why you should still be respected after falsely prophesying in god's name over and over and over again predictions of the end which the simple element of time has proven false!!!!!.

  let's let a member of the governing body or an official representative of the watchtower society try to give us a good reason why ex-members are shunned by their relatives which violates jesus's teachings.

  When I take off my patented aluminum foil hat, I find I revert to my old ways, so here goes...

  (taking off patented aluminum foil hat)

  Brother Professor - or Professor Brother, whatever - do you doubt that we have been specially selected by the unseen hand to tell you how to run your life? We live lives of cushy comfort with every neccessity provided for us by the slave - yes, THEOCRATIC slave - labor of others, and we do so so that we can tell you, as you toil in the field to eke out a subsistence living - just exactly HOW you are to live your life.

  God is invisible to mere mortals such as yourself, and the Holy Spirit is mute to mere mortals such as yourself, but we SEE the unseen realm, and we hear the inaudible words, and WE have been selected as your tour guides for this trip. We bear our burden humbly, knowing that only through a the deflation of YOUR ego can OURS enjoy IN-flation.

  PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE MEN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!

  We serve the invisible realm, and so you should serve US.

  (putting the patented aluminum foil hat back on)

  WHhuuughhhh! FRE-aky!!
