while I cannot get my Bible right this minute (left it at my Cousins when I went to visit) I use the King James Version ( Companion Bible) and the Strong’s Concordance which translates words back into the Hebrew, Greek Chaldean / Aramaic.
So, I (at this time) can only answer this way. Middle Eastern peoples cannot procreate Chinese babies, yet, the Chinese exist. Middle Eastern People cannot procreate blonde blue eyed babies (like the Swedish), but they exist, Middle Eastern People cannot procreate Ethiopians, yet they exist.
Noah and his family were “special” in bloodline because they had not mated with the Fallen Angels... My perspective on the account of Noah is accurate.
There were more than only eight people on the Ark, and as far as the animals...God made sure that (where ever He needed them to come from got there) that Apes, and Giraffe, and lions two by two made it onto the Ark.
Prayers for understanding and wisdom for you are your family, and protection in these dangerous times.
Per your Bible and mine, the only people who survived the flood were Noah and his family. All other living beings who existed on the land were killed by God in the flood.
That is clear in the passages quoted earlier.
Please show me where, in the Bible, the information in your post is supported. Thanks. God bless you and yours.
I am open to the ‘notion’ Noah’s flood was a regional deluge... Why? Because of the time it takes an olive tree to bring forth a green leaf. Noah and his family were only on the ark 150 days... The finding of the olive leaf was not describe as being a miracle planting. The flood was to cleanse the earth, of any who might attempt again to mess up the bloodline to Christ. Noah and his family were the only family of the Adam that had not been polluted by the ‘giants’...
